Was just wondering if anyone uses the Rubi Diagonal floor marker.
On this page near bottom:
TradeTiler.Ltd Setting Out and Tile Marking

Are they worth the money?
Save a lot of time?

Thanks

I've got one, must of had it for a year and a half but never used it yet

I think they could be handy.......me..i just use a good old pencil and tape measure....

I have one but rarely us it. Its one of those things that are useful on occassions but sit in the garage most of the time.

I bought one from tradetiler a few years ago slightly different to this and i found it brilliant little tool, and i think any new tiler should have one in their tool box.

Have seen them, but never found them necessary.

This beats your Ferrari mate....

Its up for sale if your interested?

Got one and used it a couple of weeks ago.

Bloody big, cumbersome thing.........but only ok on large format tiles.

Cheers all for the feedback.
Saved me a few quid
Will stick with the measure.

take it you don't mean the Ferrari! got one of the trade tiler ones use it now and again, got a bit of 'spring' in it so you have to be careful.

Yes the Ferrari has too go, need to to buy another property and need the cash.

i bought one of them years ago and there ok.
the easiest way to do your diagonal cuts that i have found is to measure the diagonal of the tile ie:50cm then deduct the joint size from the 50cm lets say the joint is 8mm this leaves 492mm then cut a piece of cardboard or old vinyl into a square 492mm x 492mm.
you then lay the tile you want to cut onto the whole tile one back from the cut you want to make, lay the cardboard against the wall and onto the tile you want to cut draw a line at the edge of the cardboard that is laying on the tile you want to cut,then just scribe and break.
this works in a similar principle to the rubi tool but is miles quicker and you can get into tighter spots.
i actually use a 600mm square but its a bit harder to put into writing when explaining it,but it is simple.
i hope you can follow this ok.
