Default Manual tile cutter

Afternoon All

My vitrex Big Clinker tile cutter is now needing to be replaced, nbefore I o ahead and purchase a new one, was wondering what your thoughts are on the different makes.

I have seen the Husqvarna series that looks good for the price for large format tiles, and was then looking for maybe a montolit for the smaller ceramics.

Cheers
Mark

I have the Husqvarna TC670 and I think it's a brilliand cutter, though I am looking at replacing my small cutter soon and have no idea what to get really.

I have tried both but not really used the Husky over a length of time. I found the Husky inferior to a Rubi which i thought was a shame as i was thinking of getting one. I may still get the smaller one for normal tiles but i wouldnt use it on larger stuff. Just my opinion though.

Personally i would go for the TX700 but this is more £ than the Husky. I feel it would be a better buy over the coming years though.
Just my opinion.

I use a Montolit 24 for small ceramic jobs and splashbacks etc. Have used a big Montolit but preferred the Rubi TS-600,so use that for nearly everything, now.

Helped a mate do his floor yesterday and we used my Rubi for 410 x 410 ceramics, he loved it! He's a painter and decorator and said he now wants to buy a Rubi 'cos he enjoyed using it so much - saddo???

I have a few Rubi's and in all fairness they do a good job day in day out for a very long time, my oldest is 8 years old and the one I use nearly every day so she has cut a lot of tiles and I think it will do another 8 years easy.
