Danny,

Thanks for starting a thread mate.

Check THIS thread out though which we've been voting on for a bit now. Though obviously it was started some time ago so your cutter hasn't been mentioned as yet.

I'd be interesting in seeing that in action. Are you going the Tile and Stone Show?

Never heard of those cutter Essex

What is so different about the breaker mechanism. My Monolit is a single rail cutter, what makes this so much better?

If any one else has i would be interested to know .

The montolit has spring loaded beds too. Also the breaking mechanism is a 1 piece unit with the handle that you can hit with a hammer if you need to "shock" the tile. I have no idea what the actual force that can be generated to break the tiles but it must be considerable if you hit it with a hammer.

Here it is. Maybe your cutter has some sort of cantilever movement inside the head?

Ive got the same cutter when my ts60 fails i use my super pro money well spent.

Yes, I saw that on the italian website. Seems to have some sort of mechanism inside which maybe increases the pressure by mechanical advantage.

Interesting though that the more expensive range are not dissimilar to the Sigma pull cutters.

Oops. THIS link: What tile cutters do you use?

Does it have a clear line of sight to the cutting wheel.......????

I have two machines in this range and they seem to do the job .however the gauge is a bit naff it comes loose and is not as easy to set up as the rubi. when cutting 600x600 polished tiles it still tails of cuts when trying to remove 20mm cuts. you have to first cut a 150mm then cut the 20mm of that as the weight of the 600mm just breaks the cuts in the wrong place. I want to try a brevetti montolit but havent got round to it. is it true you can cut terracotta on these machines? in my experience all machines have good points and crap designs built in them.

ps see you at the tile and stone show

That's where the Tx range have an advantage then...clear line of sight and great for harder tiles.....when cutting tiles for paterns etc ..you need to cut accurately...that is the advantage rubi cutters have over these type of cutters..

I have the TX700n and it breaks anything i put in it...apart from a new highy glazed porcelenato CTD have brought out....and no amount of breaking power etc will crack these babies.....its just down to the design of the tile i guess.....

i still like abig hammer and chisel
