    No where to put name of cutter Dan. I use a Montolit Masterpiumer 63 and a little £25 montolit. 63 is brill for repetative cuts and will cut porcelain marble and granite (with a bit of help with mallet).

    have a mini monterlit and master piuma
    ----
    like grumpy grouter I have a £25 mini montolit great for most bathrooms where space is a premium and a master piuma 63 for the larger floor tiles. Find the breking system on the 63 great no broken tiles. The 63 also suits me as it is set out for a left hander for some reason although the mini can be a problem sometimes. Some say that it is difficult to use because you cant see the blade but you get used to lining the cut up with the breaking spine. Also being able to set the mitre cuts time. Have used the rubi but i felt it was not as substantial as the montolit as it has flexible hollow tubes instead of the sturdy centre bar.

    Rubi cutters have done me proud for literally thousands of jobs, not just two or three, i believe sigma are a good cutter but i think its down to personal preference

    gotta be rubi.
    Ive got Ts30, Ts40, TS40 Plus, TS50Plus, TS60 Plus, Tx700-n, TX1200-n, TM50, TR-600-s.
    Then DW-250LPS Wet cutter. (Simply awesome)
    And a plasplugs mastertiler. (well worth the money)
    And a little plasplus compact plus for them tiny bathroom jobs.

    I wouldn't change any of them for the world. Would dread to think what ive spent on them!!! Hardly get to use them now though, Too much time in the office. Not used the sigma ones, but ive heard good reports on them. Ive allways stuck with rubi cos i get good discounts on them.

    H.i, I have a Rubi TS40 Plus, for all my ceramic wall tiles, this is a handy size to have where I am working. I have a Rubi TX 700-N which is a superb cutter for floors, but a little on the big size. I now have a Rubi ND-200 wet cutter, for using outside. In the past I have hired the Rubi TS50. At some point I would like something in between the TS40 Plus & TX700-N for cutting floor tiles, with a moving breaking system like the TX, but still big enough to do diamond pattern. So for me it's all Ruby. Jeff the Plumber from West Yorkshire.

    In my opinion the pockets are absolute rubbish. Poor cutting action and tubes are very flimsy. Bought one on ebay tried it once and been in the shed since. Suggest a mini montolit small and sturdy never a problem. 1000% better build quality and cheaper than the pocket. Try kwiksplit.
