Rubi TR600-S - buying tomorrow

[P'boro tiler]

ive tried many manual tile cutters and nothing compares to a rubi twin rail in my eyes. Now i think im going to order a TR600s tomorrow and just wanted see if anyones rates it or thinks its crap????

thanks

They are good cuters joe.. i have the 400s version ..but for the larger tiles i have the TX700n...this takes some beating...just depends upon what size tiles you are likely to fix most.....but the tr600s is a very versatile cutter and a lot lighter than the TX700n...

I use mine all the time, it's great.
Only complaint is that one of the pins for the breaker works itself loose from time to time, but it's easily pushed back in.

I get good clean cuts on all ceramics and most porcelain. Have only struggled with fully vitrified and "over the top fired" porcelain.

thanks for the quick replies. i think the TX will be to heavy and impractical for most jobs.

i notice on the rubi videos the guy sharply wacks the breaker rather than presses. What technique works best?

think i'll get mine from tradetiler as that place is the nutts

Is it not still in warranty..?

Ive one, really happy with it, use the 'gold' 18 mm wheel for large format porcelain and can break 15 mm slivers off.
Agreed about one of the pins working loose but once you know what it is its easily kept an eye on.

I can't see Rubi being bothered about warranting the pin. As Davy says, it's a common occurrance; I've seen it on 2 other Tr600's. It's no big deal once you know about it.

Think I might get me one of those gold 18mm wheels, Davey.

If the pin keeps coming out use some Locktight or Thread lock from your local car shop
