    Default cant make mind up?

    got a job for in 3 weeks 93 sq mts 800x400 italian porcelain tiles and im going to upgrade my genisus 600 as its to small now so tradetiler will be getting an order. Just not sure which one yet i like the new rubi tx 900n or the montolit puma 93 i like the rail cutters because you can view the cut line but which is better. Im swinging towards the rubi but also like the montolit is the view of the cut line very restricted on the monty ?

    Get the rubi and be a happy man for a long time! FACT
    The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it!!

    get the montolit 93p....i sold one for £200 and i wish i never
    the restricted view doent matter as much on tiles that size because you'll be double checkin anyway seriously, that cutter is only about 11kg it cuts 600mm x 600mm diagonally as clean as a whistle , point to point..the flip down secondary breaker gives it the edge over the sigma imho. i will buy another one over the tx900 and i will get the sigma ek 125 to finish everything off......rubi upto 710 for me after that, monti and sigma

    hope this helpe you decide...give dave a ring a tt and ask him what he thinks

    You can get 1250mm Klick Klock Sigmas in Boucher Lomac for £400. Big push cutter, used one on a job and was making light work of 1200 porcelain.

    Always used Rubi but would dearly love to try out other cutters just so I can have an un-blinkered opinion

    I use the superpro 750 for most porcelain jobs that i do its never let me down and i really rate this cutting machine its a bit heavy and doesnt come in a fancy carry case but its a good reliable machine that cuts porcelain really well I am thinking of buying the 900 version i will try and find a picture of this machine

    Always thought the klick klock Sigma system was a bit of a gimmick. And it it is for your every day run of the mill 600x600, but for anything over a metre long, it made perfect sense. Nice long handle to put good breaking pressure on it rather than a stubby TX breaker.
