Horses for courses as they say.

Last year I got myself a Montolit P75 specially to cut those nasty porcelain tiles. Now I know there's a knack but darned if I could get it with the Montolit. I ended up using a fairly cheap old Genesis cutter - which is now disintegrating. To sum up:

Montolit good - good price, hefty piece of kit, very robust, lots of extra features like double breaker, and adjustable pressure function.
Montolit bad - could not get used to cutting style, no carry case (difficult to transport), difficult to source different types of cutting wheel for different tile cutting.

Rubi good - got a chance to practice under tuition from rubi rep, learnt different cutting styles for different tile types, it has a carry case (easy to transport), bought 8 and 22mm cutting wheels (to compliment free 10 and 18 with cutter) - wheel sizes do have an effect on how good a cut edge tile has, oh and it is robust and great looking bit of kit.
Rubi bad - not cheap, although my TX-N was on offer.

Like I said, the choice of cutter is a personal thing (like choosing between a Makita or Bosch pro drill). But I learnt using the excellent but distinctly porcelain unfriendly Rubi TS, so I have always felt happier using the Rubi style cutters.

Now if anyone loves the Montolit cutter style and wants a fairly new and unused P75, send me a message and we will negotiate a price.

love it andy........back to the rubi fold where you belong!

i did the same 2 years ago, changed to montolit. great cutters but it just wasnt the same. went back to tx700 and ts40

hope some one buys your cutter because if you like using a single rail cutter, then they are great!!

errr.. errr... .. er..

Dave - is that the grunt of a Montolit man??? needing another gorgeous single overhead camshaft, twin cylinder Montolit beastie??

NO!!! just an EX rubi man.. dreaming.

Good lad, love my TX's.........

Dave.... with your bad back, are you up to carrying a TX about?

Look, just lets get this over with Dave - you've dropped a clanger and you want a TX-N again.....

The first step to recovery is admission

Repeat after me - 'My name's Dave and I'm a Rubiholic'

Nobody will laugh at you mate, we're all in this together, just be strong, you're amongst friends and we will support you every step of the way

What i will say is IF i bought another Rubi.. it would not be a N version.. just the TX..

I'm sure you could blag one for a good price with your wealth of contacts in the business.

I love Rubi.

But having said that I have never cheated on them like Dave and had a one night stand with a exotic little minx so I couldnt add anything really

Id love to have a play with a monti and a sigma for that matter but I figure, if it aint broke dont fix it.

I use the sigma and the TX700n both good for the purpose, sigma are now doing the Max as they call with a cutting action the same as Montolit.
