hi all, im looking to buy a cutter that can handle the toughest of porcelain tile , any advice would be good thanks


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)

I have the same 2 cutters as Stewart and they have never let me down.

As above Rubi TX for me, I know a lot of the guys/gals on here prefare Sigma. Just down to individual choiceI'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.

Personal choice but i have the sigma and rubi TXn, both good cutters.

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
thanks guys will look into the tx range

I still use a Rubi ts60, its never let me down in about 7 years, it doesnt get used everyday but my ts40 does & i have put a new breaker in that, not bad going for nearly 8 years old.
tx for me i had the tx70 from ctd in brum wot a tool

Still got my ts300 after 20 years or so would always use it for small format walls.
choice? sigma or rubi,.... please....dont get me started ay
But Seriously ...like Sir ramic said as long as it has a movable breaker and its a decent size to start with like a 700 you will be fine
Just......as long as its a .....RUUUUBIII
Sorry guys i just couldn't resist it, I really am a very immature individual![]()


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.....
