    IMO it would be the Rubi TX range. I have a 1200 and a 700 and never had a problem with either. I'll also be mature and sensible enough not to bad mouth any other cutter as it gets very boring.....(;0)

    As above Rubi TX for me, I know a lot of the guys/gals on here prefare Sigma. Just down to individual choice I'm being diplomatic here, don't want to restart the Rubi vs Sigma war

    IMO if it has a moveable breaker system then it will be fine.

    I have a tx now. but i used to have the rubi ti-66. movable breaker solid construction, good on porcelain. just dont like the fact there is no direct line of sight which the single rail cutters suffer from.
    watched this video on you tube of a tomecanic looks awsome but again single rail cutter

    a sigma would be my choice to recommend to you, as imo the build quality, and cutting ability can not be beat, i'll also be mature and sensible enough not to bad mouth any other cutter as it gets very boring.....
