    Default New! Model rubi TX700.

    Well , my New TX700 arrived today..

    Over the next few weeks i will be putting this cutter through it's paces and comparing it to the older version i had..

    It is lighter than the older TX700n i had and the quality is amazing.. much better design and build quality ...

    pics and a review to follow.

    hi guys, just wondered why the older model is more expensive than the new ones at tradetiler,i went for the 2009 model in the end,is that the one youre talking about dave,am i right about the older model bieng the one with the foam pads and the new one has a alloy sprung bed,or have they bought out a new one just recently.

    I have the N version and find the measuring bar gets in the way at times, I would go for TX700

    certainly will,just have to lug it around untill you get something smaller for tighter workspaces.thanks for finding out why the new ones are cheaper,and yes whitebeam it is a big measuring bar,i think you can purchase a shorter version separatly.I havent used both,so i think whitebeam and the others that have used both will put ya straight.
