    As above, the Rubi TX is a great cutter. It depends on what cuts you will be making, you could use a wet saw. This will cut cleaner than any manual cutter but will take a lot more time.

    Rubi TX700 for me. Big clinker is a good porcelain cutter, but don't expect it to last more than 12 months.

    If you are used to Rubi I would suggest that you have a look at the TX, brilliant cutter that will last you forever if you look after it. If that is a bit pricey tho, might be worth looking at the TR, bit more grunt than the TS.

    Have a look through the link below for a bit more info
