    Hi guys try the RUBI web site www.rubi.com Or try the TRADE TILER they are the best for info on cutters / spares / stockists. Or even RUBI direct on 01708 559 609. I think Rubi are the best just bought a RUBI TX700 brilliant for polished porcelain 600 x 600.

    i am glad your pleased. you may find it might struggle on a structured surface porcelaine as it has 400kg of breaking power where the TS Plus has 750kg. You can by just the plus breaker for your TS to increase the breaking power, the ref number is 16990.

    excellent choice Fred. I'd be very nice to the missus if I was you. Although once you get it you may choose to kick the wife out of bed and sleep with your cutter!!
