    Here we go..( Sigma brigade)


    Chris how old was your belated rubi ..? you can still get parts to bring it back to life and the cutting out of square would just have been the rail mechanism rubbers.

    I have a ts40 that is around 18yrs old now.. i will never part with it.. sentimental value and all that.,

    i have a rubi ts40 plus and it cut out of square, i adjusted it with a square and the correct allen key. TT will be able to get all the parts to repair it.
    I have just bought a Sigma..fantastic cutter but i still love my ts40..i like the fact i can see the wheel and cut from mark to mark on offset cuts.
