Rubi care

[Rich]

Hello all!
Do the guys out there that use Rubi cutters use the maintenance kits? Wanted to know if they are any good or whether I should just get some Silicon spray?

 

[united]

I got one with my cutter, I use it to clean and running smooth but IMO Silicon spray would be just as good

The rubi care kit is just Silicon spray...

Don't pretend your going to clean it. you're going to wait until there is enough sticky on there to knock of with the mallet :lol:

Did you know that WD40 eats the rubber stops on the rails and inside the guides..:yikes:.. use Silicon spray.

I didnt know that but I found that WD40 helps it slide but dust sticks to it. Thanks very much guys, Il be buying myself some Silicon spray.
Oh and Seamonkey... make the tea. :lol:

Silicon spray for me. I use a Trend one as I have it knocking about for my router bits. Couple of quid for a small spray or about £11 for 330ml can which would keep you going for a very long time

WD will get you out of a sticky situation 🙂smilewinkgrin::ban🙂 but causes more trouble than it's worth with dirt and as Dave says can eat rubber (but not all types of rubber)

I've always used WD40, but I think I'll get a tin of silicon spray now

I had always used WD40 for years until when I contacted Pat at Rubi about my TS40+ cutting off square they blamed the use of WD40, saying that tile dust and chippings sticks to WD40 and causes problems with the rails:mad2:
I still haven't got arond to getting the Rubi Maintence kit like......:dizzy2:

That would be down to eaten rubber making the arm move around, the tile dust then sticks to the WD which in turn scratches the rails which means you use more WD to ease it up and so the cycle begins:mad2:

Thinking about doesn't Tradetiler do Rubi replacement parts? does he do rails and arms?

😳better throw my WD away, thats the 2nd. thing I've learned tonight

Were'nt just me then:ban:

[DHTiling]

We are talking tiling tool care.. what you do at home is not what we want to know..:lol:

 

[kilty55]

oops this was meant to be on dougs hoover thread:lol:

 

[albyshellshear]

wd40 is a penatrating oil mainly for freeing rusted parts but as said it would atract dust i would go with Silicon spray

 

[jay]
