Rubi Ts 60 - Tile Advice

[Staceydcg]

Can anybody tell me what the ts 65 (ts 60) is like as just starting to get all stuff together is it good for all types of ceramics?

 

[Spud]

its good cutter for ceramic tiles but will let you down on porcelain , if you are just starting to get a tool kit together buy a sigma it will cut both types of tile with no problems

 

[Staceydcg]

How much is that roughly for a decent one

Trade tiler sell them have a look there for the size you need, I got a ts (and a pocket but that's another story) when I started out I came across so much it couldn't do wished I'd always had a Sigma

or a tx700 better mchn than the ts60

As above. The ts range is no good for porcelain. I'd suggest a tx700 but have never used sigma

Just get a sigma and future-proof yourself. Rubi only any good upto 600mm in tx range and even then they'll struggle with very tough porcelain. Hence the new range where they've copied Sigma's design.

Get a Sigma 3c3m it's a great all rounder for the most common sizes and can handle just about any tile. A tip would to be also buy a art:24AE handle for quick cuts on straight forward tiles

tx range...full size sprung bed...better than sigma....will break just about any tile...same as sigma...no klick klock or whatever over priced handles...direct vision of score line so you dont have to adjust a 30 foot long guide bar...no contest

To be honest ,I have to admit my Tx1200 struggles with some 1000mm+ tiles but I don't have a sigma to compare it to. Never had any problems with my Tx700 though.
