I might hold our and see how I get on without a box, might just have to re arrange the van a bit for it. The rail came with some light oil on it, I assumed a splash of wd40 once a week would be the order

No no no!
It gets full of dust and then cloggs up, keep it dry it's much much better!

I give mines a spray with wd40 silicone spray every time I feel the handles not gliding on the bar the way it should.
I've never took the handle off my 3b3m, really should, but a quick spray & it's like new.

I keep wondering, why buy the 75cm ?.
thought which torments me.

the thought still haunts me.
why buy 75 cm and not 60/63 cm?
Here they all use the 60 cm, you have many tiles, 70/75 cm?

If you tile a room in a roof , a 60cm wont cut a 60cm on the diagonal. Funny enough was doing one yesterday , attic room , slope ceiling , 600mm tiles , out came the 700 TXN.
Am looking for something lighter tho for those occasions , tempted with the Rubi Max 65 should just do it and is easier to hump up the stairs.

Diggy :0)

Tiles are getting bigger, and some times tiles can be 640 ish, nothing worse than having a tile that just won't quite fit in

I use 3B4 67cm, for 80% of the work.
3P2K 102cm klick klock for 10% of the work,
BATTIPAV 160. raimondi freeline 350 cm for the rest.
I'm not convinced that 75cm, will help.
but I can also make mistakes.

Sigma , best tile cutters by far , got rid of all my Rubi cutters long ago apart from my trusty TS30 , also have a montolit mp75 which i have retired because it struggles with textured tiles
Ive got a 3P2M , 3C3M and a small pull sigma that ive had since way back , i prefer push to pull so simply turn the bar the other way as in the photo , simples ...
