Rubi CPC2 180mm - Tile Advice

[nerius5]

I've just bought a Rubi CPC2 180 blade. but I'm not happy with the product. The best rubi blade chiping ceramic tiles. CPC blade quality is the same as the Vitrex Standard.

Welcome..

What machine are you using it on..?

 

[Gazzer]

I have a Rubi CPC wheel that i used on a Rubi DW250 I had no issues at all.

 

[nerius5]

I used on a Vitrex Pro 750.

 

[Gazzer]

Does the wheel run true ?

 

[DHTiling]

Have you run the machine and then stopped it and checked as the blade slows down to see if there is any spindle wobble, these type of machines are prone to wobbly spindles..

 

[nerius5]

yes, a bit wobble spindle. Do you have any idea how to fix

 

[DHTiling]

The wobble will be causing the chipping.. So not the fault of the Rubi cpc2 blade.

There is no way to stop it i am aware of, if this is anew machine then return it..

Hi. Returned Vitrex today and planing to buy a Rubi ND180 BL. What would you recommend

 

[DHTiling]

It is not a bad machine and will suite the vast amount of day to day tiling..

 

[Spud]

if you are looking for a good quality small machine the the briccolina takes some beating

My Rubi nd-180-bl arrived yesterday. It is much better quality than vitrex. No wobbling and chiping anymore. Happy with my Rubi

Just bumping some of the tiling tool review threads in the main tiling tools forum. Ignore this if it's an old one and not important to you. It'll soon drop off the list.
