One is proven and tested, one is not. You pays your money, you takes your chances.

ps I have both Rubi and Sigma cutters so this is an impartial view

cant find anything on the Rubi website on this range.

Cant decide if i think this range will be better than the TX or TR? Looks a very heavy duty piece of equipment tho, quite futuristic!

Tbh, I prefer single rail cutters over dual rail cutters. They generally feel much more robust and stable, without feeling crude.

Ive always used dual rail cutters from Rubi so this would be a huge change and do i plump of this pr stick to what i know?

I need a replacement, or addition really to my TS50 plus and was heading towards the TR700, i dont know now!

If you switch from a dual rail to a single rail, it's going to feel very awkward for a while, and you're probably going to lose a little speed until you get properly used to it. The biggest differance would be the breaker.

I'd suggest you borrow a good single rail cutter and use it for a day or two before making the plunge.

yeah thats what i thought.

Cheers Swe.

just spoke to a guy from uktooltrader and he said that the reason the new rubi is so cheap is because it doesnt come witha case and apparently, rubi dont actually make one for this model???

due to the increased height of the ti66s and the fact that everything folds away, then there is'nt a need for a case. maybe mark from rubi could shed more light on that one?

by the way, do sigmas come with a case??
