Worth going for a Rubi TS-40 cutter? - Tiling Tools, Wall Tiling Tools, Floor Tiling Tools.

Dan

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?

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

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.

Yorkie

Have to agree with Darren on that one.
