i`ve been looking at a few of these on e bay second hand and was wondering if they are very solid,simple bits of kit with very little to go wrong with them(except replacing the scoring wheel),or could they be a bit dodgy second hand.thanks dave.

Can't say I've used a ts 50 but other rubi cutters I own have been fine..........

I have the TS50 plus and wouldnt buy another. ITs not good for hard materials. Fine for ceramics though and doesnt show any signs of wear after a couple of years use

mine still looks like it will out live me

i have the ts 50 plus,,great for ceramics,not good enought to deal with porcelain tho imo

i have the ts 60. doesnt cut dead accurate and as already quoted, struggles with porcelain. comes with a 5 yr guarantee tho. you can buy mine if you make me an offer

had my ts 50 for 15 years and is still going strong, pretty much daily use, its always the first bit of kit in the van, mostly for ceramics. I also use it for porcelein but then dont use the breaker, I just give the tile a sharp rap on the back along the scoreline with the head of my nibblers, they usually break clean. got a Rodia 75 for the larger sizes, nice piece of kit but the rubi still does it for me

rubi are the best used them for yrs

Get a sigma , better cutter and more robust...

thanks everybody.what would be the sigma equivalant to the rubi ts 50?
