Rubi Rubi ND 200

[smokie899]

Hello guys. Going to order one out of 'Tiler Tools' for £333 inc vat, cheapest I can find. Any body used one or can point me in the direction of a similar but cheaper, or better but slightly dearer one.
Don't need anything bigger really as only do domestic work mostly bathroom refurbs.
Also haven't settled on a new blade yet for it, probably ats from what I've read.

I use a norton TT200EM for small stuff and for the money it's a great little machine for less then 160 quid

There's a nearly new 200 em on sale on eBay for £23 if any one lives near dunbartshire, or delivered for £11

The virtex one served me well for a few years with a good blade... Until I lent it to a numpty who a. Buckled the blade b. Run it with no water which leads to c. Probably damaged the motor hence an up grade.
And would prefer one where there is a water tray as its easier to clean.

Daves in the bad books, he got £135 off me this week and their Ivory grout rescue is white lol and I've been waiting all day on my other two bottles being delivered
Nah am joking but must speak with him as I can see me ordering a lot of grout rescue in the near future. Super stuff, and I/we know how it goes when a friend sees a customers job and then wants it done too.
Actually invested in a good steam cleaner and a few other cleaners and tools for it as I can see this being a good earner.
And after my first job back in a long time I would be quite happy to do a cleaning service.
But going to think about it tonight as the Norton is a good price.
Cheers guys

I like my ND200

Like my nd 200 too.....great cutter with a really strong motor ....water trays a pain to fill but apparently a paint tray makes life easier......ain't got round to trying it yet..

Don't know if they changed the names of them but we used to have TC180's in topps tiles to do the in store cutting service thing. And they look exactly the same. I assume smaller disc though, is 200 the MM diameter?

 

[smokie899]

I'm think I'll go with the flexovit as its half the price of the rubi and put the rest towards an hitachi 18v 5ah cordless grinder which is £270 (extra £100) as I have to cut around a lot of quadrant shower trays.
As mentioned before, even a virtex cutter with a decent blade can do a good job.
But first two bathrooms to do and a 1500 mile road trip holiday yeooooo!!!!

My BL180 does what I need it to do, not that I wouldn't get something else if it came along at the right price!
