    Default DIY Question- Which Tile Cutter?

    Hi All,

    just about to start tiling my bathroom. We have 600*300 Porcelain tiles from CTD to lay along with some glass mosaics (2 strips - one low, one high). I have also purchased on of CTD's specials on angle grinder with two diamond blades.

    I will also have 1, possibly 2 en-suites to tile and a cloakroom to do afterwards and have a day job and 2 young kids so really rental is out of the problem. So I am asking the sage's of the forum what would they recommend.

    I have seen the following

    Rubi Speed 62 for £122

    Rubi Star-60-N PLUS for £78

    Rubi Ti-S-66 for £175

    Or

    there is a range of cutters at Topps - no brand.

    I am looking for something to make the job easier and as little breakage as possible

    Cheers

    Steve
