Default Re: should of got a rubi...

The norton cutter is about the same size as the rubi cutter i mentioned....when i say table saw , I mean one that sits on a bench/table etc.......it's the old saying "you get what you pay for" and if you tile for a living you need to use tools that will last...

When i first started tiling i used to use cheap wet cutters ( more models about now though) and would go through about 2 to 3 a year which was false economy .....

So i bit the bullit and bought the rubi diamante d200 on recommend and the first one i got was second hand one from a tile shop i was using at the time and after about 4 yrs the cable split next to the motor....so a company owed me some pennies and in exchange i got a new d200 and that was about 3 yrs ago...( still got old one in shed, just needs a cable on) and the 1.2hp motor will cut through the thickest of materials with a good quality blade....

the norton cutter.....




the rubi d200 cutter...



This rubi is also stainless steel , so no rusting.....

The norton cutters are good value for money as well.....
I was in CTD yesterday and they have some that are over £400 and look very well built.....with a sliding table..
Like most tools makers you will have your lower price tag cutters and then the higher price tag cutters ...
