Welcome to the forums Chelsway, if I haven't done that previously. There are loads of threads regarding cutters and the like already and waiting, do a "search" in the box at the top and see what comes up. Opinion is obviously varied and divided, enjoy the read then make you mind up.

if you go for the rubi get a 600 as a lot of the tiles are 600 nowdays:Pete

A lot of new tilers go for the plasplug wet saws....as for your dry cutter you are better off buying a one that will last( no point buying cheap )
The rubi ts50+ comes in a 600 cutting length as well....you can buy one here...

Dave i didn't know that

i noticed that the pic showed it the same as TS60 but with the + breaker the + i had was different i sent it back it kept smashing the tiles did i have a bad one ?

Don,t know pete..the new rubi's are black and grey..rather than blue and red and come in red box,s and not the old green box....they have a better breaking mechanism and has ts+ printed on the plastic housing cap on the cutter...

I think they use rubi wheels,Daves right buy a decent dry cutter first time,plasplugs will be fine for your first wet cutter.
