Did you try Monti, Sigma, Rubi etc before purchase?

Didn’t try the Rubi but did the sigma month and batti. Was very difficult to choose but felt more comfortable with scoring and breaking on the monti. Very difficult to tell with a few cuts. Would almost need them on appro for a week to really get the feel for them. Hoping I like it. Prepping at the moment. Should be fixing Thursday so will know better then.

Make sure you have plenty of practice with some scrap pieces of tile first

Got this today as I’ve been looking for one for a while , all my cutters are sigma but just fancied a change ! Today i was cutting 10mm porcelain and it all went well , very clean cut everytime and I like the space you have around the machine when scoring and breaking !!

All these Montis and plumbing talk had to double check I was on the right forum

Forgot it was Tues, Rubi Tc180...

First go using it today on some 20mm limestone, went through the stone like a knife through butter, kited myself out with hosepipes and tap diverters but by the time I got set out and needed to start cutting it was 3 degrees and lashing it down so set it up inside the property (empty house still ongoing project) with the Henry attached and was very pleasantly surprised on the lack of dust with the hoover on while dry cutting.. The rail and clamps make it simple to follow a dot on each end of the tile.
Think I may need a slightly finer blade and water feed for the next porcelain job I've got it lined up for but up to now its a thumbs up

Just got the two zippos and a couple of hand warmers. Doing some testing now to see how long this new one lasts. Been going almost 7 hours now
