New Cutter Time - Rubi TP-66-T or Sigma - or Double Rail

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Cutting the last few 50x50 10mm ceramic floor tiles yesterday(terrible homebase tiles). Should have had 4 tiles left over and ended up having none.

Using my rubi TS-60 Plus. I think the breaker has had it and its £100 for a new one so have decided to go cutter shopping. I also have a rubi TX700N. Love how it snaps but can't stand how I need to set the bar for straight cuts. It it takes a knock when Im working in a small area it cuts on the wonk. Not a major thing but its a pain.

Trying to decide on a new cutter. I have only ever used rubi and dual rail cutters. The sigma seems to cut very cleanly and I like the even pressure system. However I can get the rubi cutter for nothing with Topps Tiles reward vouchers.

With the single rails how difficult is the sight line? This is what I love about my current rubi cutters.

It needs to be a push cutter. Pull cutter will feel like starting from scratch.

Lots of sigma types. What do people recommend?

I have seen every video on every cutter on the net. Girlfriend thinks I have an obsession.

Sorry to start the Sigma rubi thing again!

great!!!!
 
I had rubi for years until I was working on a job with sigma die hards years ago seen the results no comparison got on to sigmas 15 years ago took me about three days to get use to single rail. Trust me you'll never go back to rubi. You're speed and quality of work will improve mostly because of the measuring bar. What ever size you decide on get the max handle.
