I have bought a Rubi ts 60 plus for my first cutter and have just started out tiling. I just wondered if anyone else has one or used one and what they think of it?. I like it but its very bulky.

cheers

I have a TS-70 plus. Great cutter IMO and is ideal for starting out

If it works for you Lewis then it's doing it's job.

Thanks Whitebeam and blocko (nice bike)

What is the TS like on porcelain? I've still got my first cutter (TR60) and it's a great cutter, but does struggle with some hard porcelains.

I have a ts70plus and it does struggle on some porcelain, have been looking at an alternative.

If you are a rubi man, get the new TX700, it is superb. I've given mine a good run out on all sorts of porcelain and it's handled them all with flying colours.

I have been working recently with a guy who was using a TS60 plus to cut some really hard porcelain. His secret of success? Use the cutter to score the tile.

Then break the tile across the top of his knee...............

"You gotta hit the tile on your knee in just the right place mate......"

Um, ow.

Monti 63-p2 does it for me.

So that would be our Lithuanian tiler Roland ? A very good fixer but must have knees of steel.

good cutter but prefer sigmas for large porcelain

Bri

is that the tx 700 N? or the normal tx 700 ?

must admit my ts70+ struggles with some as well,and i score it and break them over the edge of another tile.
that was,ofcourse untill i got my tx700n. well i hope so,still not used it yet,only done ceramics recently so been useing my ts50+. which is a great machine,i might add

Just the TX700. I've got the TX 1200N and the measuring bar gets in the way as it's already a big cutter. If you mark your cuts then the bar on the N never gets used to it's full potential anyway, so is a bit of a waste.

It's just a link to a facebook page with all my work pictures in, it's temporary while my website is finished off. You might need a facebook account to see it, there might be a way if you don't but I'm not computer savvy enough to know how to do it!
