    Default Dilemma!!!!! TS-60 plus or Ti-s-66??

    Hi guys

    I'm about to buy a new manual cutter from trade tiler, But I'm a little confused in why the ts-60 is more expensive than the ti-s-66.

    ts-60 .... Same as TS 60 but with a newly developed 750kg pressure breaker (standard breaker is 400kg).

    Can be more effective for porcelain tiles

    Cutting length of 660mm. Also supplied with case and 1 x 6 mm wheel and 1 x 10 mm wheel.

    Will cut a 460mm x 460mm tile diagonally

    Overall case dimensions (mm) 900 L x 410 W x 130 H



    Ti-s-66 ..... Fast and highly suited to heavy porcelain

    - 1000 Kg breaking power
    - Cut length 66cm (bed takes 70cm tile)
    - Cut thickness 6 mm to 20 mm
    - Forward cutting (PUSH) scoring
    - One piece alloy base plate
    - Sprung steel top plates
    - Ruler bar swings to any angle 45 deg both ways
    - Indexing angle stops at: 0, 15, 30 and 45 deg
    - Includes 1 x 10mm scoring wheel
    - Weight 11 KG
    - Pads on underside of breaker prevent marking


    Which one would you buy??

    Any feedback on any of these cutters would be much appreciated.

    Cheers

    I'm think dave or dan tried the ti s 66 a while back, and put a post on here about it. I think he thought it pretty good.

    Monty, check out "Monty's" (montolits) before shelling out hard cash if you are considering the Ti-S 66. None of this "breaking power" nonsense, you can hit them with a hammer to break tiles if you have to!! Solid build as well.

    I have a TS50+ and several Sigma cutters.
    The Sigma wipes the floor with the TS, in every way IMO.
    And seeing as the TI-S is at least every bit as good as the Sigma, then it is the clear winner over the TS+.

    If you have never used anything else, it is a good cutter.
    But once you have used the Sigma/Monti' style cutters, and developed the skills needed to use them, it seems pretty poor.
