going to get a new dry cutter and was looking at the montolit cutter from dave or would you go for the rubi tx 900n mainly for porcelain got a genisus 600 and it cuts most but would like something more substantial!

If you like Sigmas then you will like the montolit but if you prefer a two rail machine then the Rubi...both different machines.

which cuts porcelain better only ever used rail cutter so far but like the look of the montolit!

They both will cut fine but you either like single rail or double rail. Its what you get used too.

I love my rubis, but I've never been used to anything different

Iv only ever had sigmas apart from a small monty.the small monty is lovely to use too.sigmas will cut anything but im open minded about my next purchase.i think ill go push next.

I own montolit , rubi and sigma cutters and i much prefer the montolit to the rubi anyday, if you are used to using twin rail cutters it will take a wee bit practice to adapt but once you get to grips with it you wont look back , and its half the weight of a rubi as well .. p.s you can get push or pull montys and sigmas , if you are getting a big cutter i would recommend the push as the measuring bar is at the top of the machine and you dont keep tripping over it..

Just to add...new rubi TX machines are all alloy now and a lot lighter than before..

ive tried em all....but i like my rubi ts60 Plus.....or my tx....

that said each to thier own, one of my tilers swears by sigma and his results are superb..... so try them all out if you can and see what works for you!

have you seen my work andy?

most of it (90 percent) is done with a ts60 plus....i am not blowing my trumpet, just stating that i use that cutter more than any of my others!

once you are used to a thing is difficult to get as good with somthing else...but thats just my opinion....and my rubi has not let me down yet!!!

dagger ive seen your work and its spot on , i just couldnt understand how you like that cutter, i used it for about 3 years but it really struggled with the type of work that i do ,so i sold it and got the monty 75mp , honestly its a far superior cutter , but if it works for you thats all that matters mate..

and that is exactly what i was advising....you got to try em all and see what suits you......it took me a full year to stop hitting my fingers with my tx.....ouch!!

I think I will try the new Montolit on Dave's web page. My new tool.

i,ve used rubi for years just bought a montolit 75 from tradetiler . oh my god why have i struggled on for so long . montolit all the way for me now . ......................

I have to confess and take a great big slice of humble pie here , i was fixing 640 x 340 porcelain tiles this week , they were from porcelanosa and have a pattern on them which may be the factor that they were very hard and difficult to cut , well my montolit 75 was a bit hit or a miss cutting them and was really struggling so i set up my rubi tx1200 and fitted the large cutting wheel and it cut them much more easily.
So which is better? dont know , best bet is to get one of each...
