Can anyone give me any feed back on the Big Clinker tile cutter. They say that its better than a Rubi TS 60 and is only 80 quid at ScrewFix?

Looks like one of those that has ball bearings in the runner and what not, doesn't look bad actually.

looks a bit fiddly to me if im going to be honest....

**wivers** · 28-02-2007

Ball barings worry me though, surely there gonna pop out if dropped?

They should be encased, so no problems there. Its the thin body and legs that stick out the side that bother me a bit. Doesn't look very sturdy.

Mind you, if it was on its back in a convertable with the roof down, then it might look different...

Im still talking about the tile cutter, you perv....

I had use of a cutter similar to that, it had bearing in the runners and it cut soooooo smooth! The bits that stuck out a bit on that one did get battered but it was sturdy enough to take it. It still goes to this day or so I believe, in a training centre used as often as can be.

So for 80 notes its worth a go u think?

**Dan** · 02-03-2007

Yes I think. It might not be exactly the same as the one I had but looking at it, it's got the size-bar thing and the good runners, and unlike the (smaller) rubi's, when you put your weight on the scribe bar to scribe, the runners don't bend as they are much thicker.
