If you're tiling around the home or maybe for a mate, you might be buying or at least considering buying a decent tile cutter. Now Rubi.... they seem to have a fair market share of all professional tile cutter buyers out there but from a DIY angle, is that price tag really worth it? The Rubi TS-40 retails at about £120 (inc VAT) and those DIY tile cutters are like... £12?

What's the story?

Go for sigma tile cutters best on the market

Any specific Sigma cutter in mind?

I have two 4 series and a one 5 series they are very solid cutters last a lifetime

You mean the 4 and 5 series Sigma's right, and not the Rubi TS-40 and TS50's... just to clarify.

yes the sigma series

Ah Sigma

The rolls royce of tile cutters

Rubi are good for hole cutting

Rubi all the way for me and yes, Admin, the ts-40 is worth every penny.

got it in one, the rolls royce of tile cutters- sigma

The TS-40 is a good cutter, if a little small. They are a bit of a pain to use when fixing 400mm tiles. The trend of large format tiles would make me get a larger Rubi if i was just starting out.

If your going for a Rubi cutter the TX range is the best ,not cheap though. The TS range is a good straight cutter (ts 50 plus is the one you want from this range) The breaker has a lot more pwer than the normal one. It breaks the tile with a fixed breaker at the top, where as the TX range breaks a tile anywhere on the bed, Ideal for angled cuts as well.

Have to agree with Darren on that one.

I've got a TS 60 + and it's the dangly bits that hang under a dog!!

Rubiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii all the way....dave..
