How many of you have used Nuova Battipav - TilersForums.co.uk | Tile Forums

Hi i have been a member for a while now but never started a new thread so here goes.

How many of you have heard of or used the Nuova Battipav Super Pro range of cutters?

These cutters are fantastic for cutting the new breed of tough porcelain coming into the market.

I had one of the Rubi reps down at the centre last week , trying to prove that a Rubi TX is a better cutter to use over the Super Pro

He went all red and started to stutter when showed what the Super Pro can cope with and when i pointed out the fact that it has spring loaded beds and a breaking power of 2000kg.

Any way what cutter do you prefer to use and why?

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?

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

**Danny@ Diamond** · 10-06-2008

I think what makes it better is that it has 3 spring loaded beds which allows the breaking force to disperse evenly across the tile as opposed to a flat rigid bed , and also that it has a breaking capacity of 2000 kg . I haven't found a manual cutter that has as much as this.

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.

Have you got a link or a pic i could have a look at mate

**Danny@ Diamond** · 10-06-2008

Just had a look on a website called Kwik Split Tile Cutters , the company Kwik Split is the uk distributer for Montolit. Is it the Master Montolit range you have mate.

**grumpygrouter** · 10-06-2008

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