Hi all,
Stuck on which manual cutter to purchase.
I've read that a lot of you guys have a couple of cutters each.....is this the norm? I have the rest of my kit, but am confuzzled with this.
Not sure whether to get a decent model like a tx700n , a smaller model or both?
Would i struggle with smaller tiles on the 700?
Is it best to have a larger more powerful cutter for harder materials & a smaller more versatile cutter for ceramics?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Paul.

my main cutter is tx700n (rubi) got rid of my ts60, didn,t like it one bit, my ts 40 is ideal for kitchens, for taking thin slices off tiles i use my dw200lps rather than nibblers, but i now need to add a tx1200n to my arsenal. this may seem like a lot of cutters, but the main of my work is site work where i have room to set up without getting crammed.Overall I'd say thetx700n is an absolute belter,and you'll always be able to sell it after you've finished your project

tr600s. was fine cutting 100mm pork the other day. just gets in the way.
im gonna buy a ts40+ in a day or so

can you do 45 degree cuts with a ts40+? i guess not?

Depending on tile type and technique ..YES you can...

actually think i might get the ts30 as im sure i'll use my tr600s on everything apart from council splashbacks etc

So when is it beneficial to have a moving breaker over a fixed breaker, & visa versa?

In one of the other posts it said about a moveable breaker for mosaics!

Could anyone enlighten me.

Thanks,

Paul.

I've got a TS 60plus, which i use for most tiles. Im a kitchen and bathroom fitter, and i use the Ts60plus for 4 inch kitchen tiles, and 650mm porcelain floor tiles, - it works a treat for all sizes!! A great all rounder!! invest!!

Just noticed this thread is from 2008!
But anyway - TX700 is my preference...... if a bit late 🙂
