Just bought a Rubi TS-40 and im in love. The noise it makes when when i cut a tile makes me shiver. Pricey i think, but would of payed double of what it cost.

the red box?

Er dude,i dont want to sound like a d**k but i thought you were skinted/out of work like?

Nice cutter tho!!

yea i am, but i got a job coming and needed it, and i had a big win on the poker the other day.

you dont sound like dick tho

fair play mate-its a really good investment

cheers

it's a "Rubi ts-40" right ? if so here we have green box,not red,TS-40 and red box TR-40!
I have ts-50 and tr-40

mine was a green box, ask Oli, he's got it now, belting little cutter tho

sorry, it is a green box,

cheers

the red box is the ts40 plus, same cutter, higher breaking pressure I believe. I have the TS40plus, the TS60plus and the TX700..... all great cutters.... pretty much cut anything. Pricey, but then thats how I earn my living and they've never let me down.

I've a TS-50 but am after a TS-30 for confind spaces. Rubi stopped making them apparently but there are still some in circulation. Either that or 2nd hand.

Just check on the web before you buy from him you could get things cheaper.

you are probley right, think i may have been sucked in a little, do you think that is too much for that cutter.

I was looking at getting a TS-50 cant say ive layed a tile for 10 years so i looked at it being slightly bigger then ts-40 and a bit smaller then ts-60 prob a shi*te way of looking at a cutter but ive no other way of judging.

thats what it is, TS-30 for 300mm tiles, TS-40 for 400mm tlies ect ect

This might be a strange question, but do you rest your Rubi cutter on it's box whilst cutting? I ask because I used to lose a lot of porcelain tiles when resting on the box, but when I put the cutter on the floor I get better results. I now don't use the box to rest on.

i put mine on a work bench, if no room for bench, use the floor.

there are no strange questions in this forum

my ts60+ fits just right on a workmate

Do you want it ?

ts-40 is a great cutter , keep the bars oiled regularly and well maintained and it will last you a lot of years

well ive been advised by a mate to WD-40 my TS-40 after every job

not really necessary after every job Mark, but good practice if you can remember to do so

i will probley do it while it is still box fresh, but after a while it will be every two jobs, then 3 then 4, then who cares i want the TS-50, so ill leave it till i have to get it.

then the same process on the TS-50, till i want the TS-60

got the same cutter bud and its great. got it second hand on ebay 48 quid with the postage and seller stated hed only used it a few times was looking for months though so very lucky. some second hand ones sell for 90 quid
