My local Tileflair is doing a promotional offer selling a Rubi overhead wet cutter for £250. Cannot remember the exact model - DS230 sound about right? Anyone know if these cutters are any good (I know the cutting blade will need upgrading).

Rubi are doing a lesser model, about £200

they're allright andy, mine is a 200lps and it does the job. But tbh I probably wouldn't buy another one with all the choice out there.

Thanks, I have been looking for an overhead cutter for stone cutting, its a question of this or saving up for another 6 months for the De Walt - but £750 is a lot of profit to spend!!

Perhaps, but WELL worth it mate....

If i recall correct my Rubi Dw250N was about £600 when I bought new, just a year later I sold it on Ebay for about £400. Which I thought was a great price for me as I would have accepted a lot lower. I went out and got the Dewalt I think it was about £650 and compared with my Rubi you would have thought it was £1650.... The difference is unbelievable.
I guess though that these kind of discussions will never be agreed by everyone.
Rubi v Sigma v montolit dry cutters ?
Rubi v Sigma v Dewalt wet cutters ?
BAL v Mapei etc ?
The list goes on and on. All we can do is give our experience on what we know.
