1.why do you all rate rubi so highly???
2.what model really impresses you?
3.is there anything, if anything you could fault them on or maybe improve.
4. what models do you own/use....would you consider other brands

Ease of use, tbh i havnt used any other cutters,

I have a ts60 classic, I have recently bought a tx 1200 n from ebay for a great price. still havnt used it so cant comment on it fully. The size is impressive though and size matters for my next job

ts60 classic has worked for me 90% of the time, im a part time tiler with family buisnesss. i came across some keope porcealins and it struggled with the contour faced ones. It couldnt snap them without shattering them. it sometimes shears away the end of the cut with some other porcelains

Im just waiting on the job comeing up to use my tx1200n. i have tested the movable breaker on beige tiles and i noticed it leaves a black mark

i read that there is a foam plate for under it is that right?
is there any other tips or faults i need to know about?

:lol: I can't fault Rubi I have just the ts 40 and the tx 700 older one. I can reach both of them quite well from my zimmer frame:lol:

I rate Rubi because of the ease of use and fast cutting wheel changes....Sigmas or montys do not offer any other wheel sizes like rubi do.



The TX700 series..



My complaints were the as above on the TX700 series but they have sorted that now and i also had an issue with my ts50+ cutting out of square... this i found out today was a dodgey new cutting wheel not running true, new fitted and fine now..:smilewinkgrin:




I have ..A ts40...ts60...ts50+....tr600s and a tx700n...

I have thought about other makes recently but decided to stick with what i have used all my tiling life...RUBI..


Only new addition to my Rubi range is to be the New model TX700... why??.. coz i want one..:lol:

I have always wondered why Rubi have different size wheels, are they really necessary?

Definately - especially for the ever increasing variation in material density and strength, you need bigger wheels to cope with stronger tiles - a 6mm wouldn't last 2mins with a 18mm thick porcelain
