Default Rubi TS Plus:

I wonder if somebody could tell me why there is such a weight difference between the TS 50 L and the TS 60, I can see that there is 6 cm different cut length but the it is 1 third heavier. The TS 50 is only 3 cm shorter but only .2 of a kilo less, in terms of lugging gear around the slightly shorter cut length compared to the almost 4kg weight difference is worth it. Can anybody shed any light on this for me, thanks Rick

I asked a serious question and thought maybe as the cut length is longer it would need more strengthened bars thus could poss be more effective with hard porcelain which is where the weight difference lies..... so as i was starting to feel just recently anyway if your not in the boys club you get smarmy remarks fired at you of yourselves. Thanks lads....

chill out mate.. ..the added weight is just down to reinforced bed and new breaking mechanism....if you want a cutter for porcelain then try the TX range..
