genesis cutter

[ant27]

Just starting out and dont really want to spend 350+ on rubi or montolit, are the genesis 600 any good or big clinker. Ta

Use the Genesis Pro 600 (I think) on my training course. Seemed a good cutter, although it was predominantly soft ceramics we were cutting. That said, tried it on a few offcuts of porcelain and it seemed to cut them fine too (had a rubi wheel in it). Can't comment on big clinker, sorry

i use a big clinker after using a sigma for ages and find it really easy to use,i actually prefer it to some sigma models(ain't tried the new range though),great value for money and if you get it at topps trade price then you could replace it every year and you wouldn't notice the money missing although i'm sure it will hold out a lot longer than that

For same reasons as you I bought the Genesis 600 Pro , I have just cut Porcelain with it 670 x 450 no problems but id also recommend putting a Rubi blade in it

I have a big clinker and a genesis 400. The clinker cuts pretty much anything and the genesis is back in the garage ... tried two porcelain jobs with it and it didnt touch them (even with rubi blade). I dont know if the 600 is more robust though

Yeah the 600 PRO is the minumum for a pro tiler

a rubi TX 700 is never a waste of money imo it will pay for itself many times over

Got to agree with that big ...ish beast but worth the money, how's your other skateboard / cutter 😀

As for the Genesis, ok for ceramics, mostly, they can struggle on anything else, IMHO which is why mine never sees the light of day nowadays, why carry more cutters than you need, TS50 and TX700, wet cutter and grinder,sorted 😀

I like the genesis for smaller diagnals

your probably right doug but some people are working to a budget when getting of the ground(god i remember those days,worrying about leaving spacers behind:lol🙂
