Advice for new electric cutter - TilersForums.com

[Italy]

As the op has asked for advice on a inexpensive electric cutter.....
Then it depends what tiles you use the most....
The vitrex or vortex.. as some like to call it, is imo an excellent cutter for the money....approx £100 it will cut most tiles up to 600mm without any problem but above that you would need something with a bit more beef.....like the Rubi nd200 at around £350
The vitrex can be used indoors with good dust sheeting as it has very little water spray......the Rubi can only be used outdoors .
Hope you find this more in depth post helpful....

sometimes even unable to reason.

I bought the new one in Topps that has replaced the vitrex pro 750 and I think it is quality. good design and comes with a cover to protect the blade and guard when in the back of van etc. got the rubi CPC blade in it and it works a treat on porce.

Even better if they have updated it...

Yeah its slightly bigger, much more sturdy and better built. the lid is great and fits around the guide bar and no need to remove guard for blade. bench stop stops the cutter moving backwards when pushing big tiles through. well impressed with it to be honest. Anyone know of any blades better than the rubi CPC for it?

The Norton TT200em is s decent budget cutter, you can pick one up for around £135 bit more expensive than the vitrex 750 but its worth considering....heres a video

I got a Rubi nd200 and I bought a plastic mixing tray to go underneath to catch any water and splills so I can use it indoors
