Hi

Have just got the mster tiler from plasplugs, is there any way of cutting 30+cm tiles witout turning the tile or removing the safety guard, little misleading on the box if there is no way of doing this, I have managed to cut about 16cm but then had to turn the tile as the cut tile hit the guard stand.

Thanks for any help


Ron

you need to adjust the guard stand.
there are 2 little screws loosen them and the guard will move left to right.

take it off

Or buy a rubi next time, pull out guards so handy for drop cuts

Only 1 problem with taking the guard off, its like a jetwash !!!, the guard does not slide left or right (thats what I initially thought)

Thanks

Ron

How much are the rubys ?

rubi's will set you back £300+,i cut 30+ tiles on this every day is there something i'm missing here!

ps the blade you originally get only lasts a month mine packed in today,lucky i had a good spare(in the bloody house 20 miles away)

Thanks Dave
I assume you mean that you cut 30cm tiles on the Plasplugs, have you removed the guard ?

If you cut a tile without the guard keep the tile over the blade then switch on Like ronald says saves getting soaked

ive used many cutters and ive never seen one without the adjustment.
its at the foot of the stand and the screws may be covered in crap but they are there you adjust it when you put it together.

Cutter is new, the adjustment if anything on the "L" shaped bracket is at max 2mm because the bracket fits underneath the top bed.

Thanks

Ron

yeah if i`m reading this properly it happens on mine,what you have to do is push tile while cutting it and as it hits the bar hold tile and push the bar to one side or the other depending which side its hitting then carry on pushing the tile to cut,or adjust the bar either way by eye before cutting it must be when they get knocked or something in transit etc etc.

Thanks BDS
Sounds like the same thing, so what you are saying is the "L" bracket is slightly bent out of shape and needs to be adjusted ?

ron is there 2 different screw holes in the L bracket maybe yours are in the wrong holes,ive got one of these cutters and im sure it adjusts.
i will go and have a look now.

Just make sure that the bar and the wheel are inline. If not just bend the bar so it is. It happens a lot due to its flimsy structure.

Thanks Oldgit

Yep there are actually 3 holes for the 2 screws, dont think it will adjust that much, could well be that the bracket is not straight (bent on inital install)

yes mate sounds very similar to mine and its cos mine gets bashed about abit and its about 12 months old so just need to adjust it before cutting or as said while cutting (usually cos i`ve forgotten to do it first of)

mine catches sometimes i just tap it with the edge of a tile.
i just had a look and the screws on mine are on the top it dont look like ive ever adjusted them as the screw heads are full,but when you set it up lay a tile either side of the blade and as you look at it front on let the upright bit favour left more than right as all the cutters ive used catch on the right rather than the left,there should be plenty of scope as you can use a marcrist on the machaine without it catching.

re-order the spare part from plasplugs,if you don't have the original guarentee ask you local b&q for the phone number!

Thanks for all your replys, will try what has been sugested (moving the plate over slightly)

Thanks again

Ron

mine always gets in the way (i ccouldnt find an allen key at the time to adjust mine so i just bent it out the sodding way (to do a plunge cut)

always getting in the way! ive actually found my long lost hammer so i may re-arrange it some day, on the bright side tho i do have an extension table/platform for the cutter, comes in handy for those 600mm tiles that just need a wee bit trimming off its noggin

Do plasplugs do extension table for the master or have you made this yourself??

plasplugs made them but they dont anymore, give them a call as i think they had soem knocking about in the reduced bins last time i was in there

Your'll lucky to get someone to answer the phone

I cannot get any answers from plasplugs, been waiting for stock for 3 weeks and eventually i got through and the person said they were the last two in the company still there, not looking good for them, maybe another sign of the crunch

I had the same problem trying to track down an extension table a couple of weeks ago - no answer despite a dozen attempts!!

GET a Rexon from screwfix better bit of kit

Hi Robbbin - is this the one you are talking about?

Rexon RTC200A 700W Tile Cutter
