    Default Rubi Wet Cutters...

    Do Rubi cutters recycle the water (like the Plasplugs Master Tiler), or do they just drip all over the floor!?! If the latter, how do you guys get on with them in domestic situations?

    They do not re-cycle

    I used to have an ND180 - too under powered and not enough depth of cut

    ND200 is good though

    If you've got problems with water dripping, put a plastic pan or something under it. I also put a small tarp in my cutting area. I like to work clean.

    Here's a thing mind. It annoys the hell out of me.

    Why, oh why do all these wet cutters, (rubi as well) use steel screws in there make up.

    So when the times comes to change anything or repair it..............all the flaming heads are rusted to hell and shear off

    Also use nd200 on a cement mixing board, In London you have cut inside sometimes because of the layout of the houses

    Its a right pain working in a ruff area, where you either have to pull all your tools in the house or put them back away each time you use them, a job is so much quicker when you can leave your stuff set up in the garden without having to pop out every few minutes to make sure its still there.
