Rubi rubi tx max

went to a rubi tool demo at local tile shop, had a go on the new rubi tx max, i was blown away with how easy it cut "hard to cut" tiles that the shop owner supplied, he was well impressed, he tiles their displays,
so after 30 years of using only sigma i've ordered the tx 1020 max rubi were giving extra discount £ 470.00ish
anybody else got one? what do you think?
 
Brilliant cutter, I've got a 900tx, only bought it after my sigma failed miserably on some italian porcelain and borrowed one and it sliced em up no bother...actually lent it someone the other week and he's on about selling and replacing all his sigmas now..
 
I'm a former rubi man, I'd like to buy a tz, but besides the price I like to change often and I already know
that I should give it as a present
 
Biggest problem I have with rubi , is how expensive they are, that’s the only reason I’ve not bought one


My local Topps loaned me the older TX1200 as they couldn't source the 3E4M for me in time for a job, they said they have had it sat there and can't shift it and I can see why. It retails even at trade just under £900, the sigma being just over £600. I know Topps ain't the cheapest but that's some difference! And having used it I'd have never paid that for it. They also weren't the cheapest for the sigma but they offered an extra 20% off and £75 in store credit on their trade night so that sweetened the deal. The Rubi is now back in their store room where I can only imagine it will sit and gather dust at that price.

the reason i ordered the tx max is because you don't have to push the arm up to lift the breaker foot after breaking the tile, there's a trigger on the handle to lift the breaker foot, also the breaker foot is about 100mm wide so should break large tiles easily

Don't understand why tradesmen go to topps.

They also have the 3E4M at £533, so still a massive difference in price! I was just backing up the point of how expensive they are to the main competitor, not the cheapest place to buy them and wasn't joining in any Sigma V Rubi debate as i don't care what cutter that anyone else uses but money talks!

I do agree with your point with Topps, that's why i only bought it with the extra discounts they offered, was cheaper than anywhere else plus £75 towards materials i can cash in on
