Welcome to the forums Chelsway, if I haven't done that previously. There are loads of threads regarding cutters and the like already and waiting, do a "search" in the box at the top and see what comes up. Opinion is obviously varied and divided, enjoy the read then make you mind up.

if you go for the rubi get a 600 as a lot of the tiles are 600 nowdaysete

 

[DHTiling]

A lot of new tilers go for the plasplug wet saws....as for your dry cutter you are better off buying a one that will last( no point buying cheap )
The rubi ts50+ comes in a 600 cutting length as well....you can buy one here...

Dave i didn't know that :stupid: i noticed that the pic showed it the same as TS60 but with the + breaker the + i had was different i sent it back it kept smashing the tiles did i have a bad one ?

 

[DHTiling]

Don,t know pete..the new rubi's are black and grey..rather than blue and red and come in red box,s and not the old green box....they have a better breaking mechanism and has ts+ printed on the plastic housing cap on the cutter...

 

[Perry]

[IvegotsTILE]

I think they use rubi wheels,Daves right buy a decent dry cutter first time,plasplugs will be fine for your first wet cutter.

The Rubi is Spanish,the Big C is imported from the U.S.A., I supply both these, and the parts are not compatable.....Gaz

I use a Husqvarna TC670 dry cutter, very similar to a Rubi of same size but something like half the price £120, nice to use, and cuts 600mm tiles, and also can use the Rubi cutting wheels.
Then I have a Plasplug Master tiler, great wet cutter for £80

 

[brian c]

you could also use a grinder to cut tiles m8,you can pick up the pro tiler plus in B&Q for 40 quid just now and as for dry cutters i use a genesis 600 with a rubi wheel in it which i bought from NETT.Also got a bosch grinder with diamond blade which i bought in Argos for 45 quid but only paid 15quid as i had vouchers from buying the kids xmas presents,lol.:lol: As Grumpy says have a look around the threads which will help you decide.


p.s.Welcome to the forums m8 and happy tiling.

 

[smokie899]

agree with most of above, plasplugs master tiler is a good wet cutter to start of with and is currently on sale in b&q at £80, but you might want to get a better blade you will finds links on the forum, ther is an 850 something or other blade about which most tilers fit to the master tiler. a good dry cutter is a must, rubi or sigma is the choice of the pros. i think my sigma will be tiling long after me lol:lol:

The Blade is the Marcrist CK-850 - http://www.buybrandtools.com/acatalog/Diamond_Blades_Marcrist_Rubi.html

The response we have had since weve been selling these blades has been phenomenal!

I use a Big Clinker and a Master Tiler - both well recommended.
Clinker comes in for some stick on here but they really are excellent for the money, and great for large porcelain.
I'd seriously suggest getting a smaller cutter to go with these though. The clinker is a bit too large for smaller splashback jobs etc.

 

[Rad2474]

I've got the same as brian c,genesis 600 with a rubi wheel cuts great.
