    Default which cutter?

    had a few jobs recently where i'v been using the small porcelain wall tiles 100mm x100mm about 8mm thick, and quite hard! i'v got a rubi ts60 +, which is a bit too big to lug about in the kitchens and not very good if you just want to take 10mm off, as the breakers are quite big, i'v also got a rubi star 50, but really struggles with these porcelain tiles, any recomendations as to which cutter to buy? shall i just go for smaller rubi ts ? are the breakers smaller on the smaller versions? ie ts40+

    Will do 300 x 300 mm porcelain too, depends on the toughness of the tile. The breaker in the TS-30 is the same as the one in a TS-60 after all
