I have a sigma 3a...so im covered for 510mm tiles,....im on the brink of buying another cutter...obviously needs to cover larger formats so anything 700mm to 750mm...ive noticed montilit do a 750 but rubi tx goes to 700/900..would the 50mm diff between tx and montolit matter? anyone have any suggestions as to which cutter would be best for porcelain large format..cheersin advance!

Why not just go for the bigger Sigma..

would the 50mm diff between tx and montolit matter?

Yes if you need to cut 750mm tiles.......

At the end of the day it's down to what size tiles you think you'll need to cut - no good getting a 900 if you only ever fix 300x300 floors I use a TX700N and without doubt it is the best all round cutter on the market You could end up lumping a 900 or 1200 around and use it once every 12months

I think Doug has a photo of the difference in size between a 700 and a 1200.......

So the question is really:

What size Rubi TX-N do I buy?

i meant!was is the most typical sizes tile around the 700mm mark!...are 750mm more common!?...if they r then i,ll buy a monty or a sigma

Also! and i know this will b hottly debated,but!....IN ALL honesty,ive seen many rubi cutters and they dont seem as well made as the sigmas!..Just somethings ive personally noticed!..Also,i did find it hard at first to use my 3a sigma..but now i know my way round it...its a beaut!

Then buy another Sigma Fipple....

It's a personal taste thing they all do the same job mate in slightly different ways The Rubi/Sigma debate is an old and exhausted one

Calm down dear, its just a commershecal, I can spell commercial but Ellie cant say it so I prefer her way to pronounce it.

Steady tiger.....

While im on a roll!....could anyone tell me how the moveable breaker stands up over time?...the tx in toppstiles in bedford...didnt seem"that robust!...im sure they are.I know u get a 5yr guarantee..bit has anyone had any build issues? thats my last question...it seems asking sumtimes can be a touchy subject

I have three Rubis Fipple mate

I thought you were just comparing them to Sigma and Monty - which are comparable in quality. Hadn't realised Vitrex were in the melting pot as well

Nonetheless, I would go as far as to say Vitrex DO the same job as well, but won't last you as long as a quality brand such as Rubi,. Sigma or Montolit

No need to do that Fipple man.....

We just like to have constructive discussions offering advice when needed and sometimes the written word can appear a slight aggressive and flippant - like with exclamation marks after every other word.

Stick around mate you'll get the hang of it

i originally came on here a few weeks ago,like most,just to find reviews on tile cutters/products...but inevitably comments and cyber comments that might not be made in the public arena seems be the order of the day,especially to those who come on here few and far between...its cool!...its pointless driving any comment home on the net....what astonishes me is that cyber bs is even"found on a tileforum..lmao...i wouldnt dream of going upto someone trying to be condescending and correcting there spelling..lol..if that was done on site...youd end up in the footings...(when i say you")i mean that figuratively....over and out

Thats your call Fipple, but would be happier if you stuck around

You'll not find a better bunch of tradesfolk away from TF, and all the lads and lasses from the 'Green Side' are always level headed and sensible with their responses

Like I said earlier and this is also probably echoing what you have said in #25, sometimes the typed word on a computer screen can appear agressive/sarcastic or cheekywhen 9 times out of 10 the writer hadn't meant it that way at all....

Thats whats great about telephones

Had my TX for a few years now and nothing gone wrong with it and i use it a lot.

The only small thing that happened was the one of the sponges came loose when it rained but they don't have these now and are spring loaded beds instead..
