Best Tile Cutter 2009? - TilersForums.com

[honza1]

go for a sigma , monty or the rubi ti cutter, dont go for the rubi ts range as they are very limited, ie you want a cutter with a moveable breaker.. i have owned or used all these cutters plus the rubi tx range but not the Ti and the best are the monty and the sigma... p.s read daves review on the rubi ti .

I am bathroom fitter. I need to buy new cutter too.
Definitely able to cut 600 mm tiles and strong enough to cut porcelain.
For pro/often use but not dayly bases.

What is the limitation of TS?
Is TS plus any better appart from breaking power? I though I would buy this one.Seems to be good enough for every job.

TI looks nice but
1)does not still have case in yeaar 2009 april and it is needed to my opinion for transportation(things can fall and so...)
2)am warried about that it might be too strong for some ceramic tiles- crashing them (as statet by others)

Can you help?
Thanks

Re: Best Tiler cutter

I have the TX 700N and have no complaints I also have the pocket rubi 40 for smaller jobs and is a great bit of kit for just over 30 notes.

Re: Best Tiler cutter

I agree with Dave. I use my TX700 for all porc jobs and anything around the 600mm size. I recently bought a Ti but Im not to keep on the faffyness of the breaker plus it shatters basic 6" tiles.
When Im stuck for space and only have normal bathroom tiles to fix I use my TN600+ which Ive had for nearly 10 years and is still going strong!

Re: Best Tiler cutter

Getting my 1st tile cutter. Can anyone suggest which one to go for?

I was thinking about a Husqvarna TC 670 or a Rubi ts 50 plus

I was in the same situiation a few days ago - I needed a tile cutter for 10mm porcelain floor tiles. I scanned the forum on tile cutters - took the consensus and bought a Big Clinker
Result? Brilliant - easy to use, requires very little effort and good clean cuts.

Cheap crap good enough for domestic use.

Otherwise go for Monty or best of all - Sigma.

If you think that's cheap (which it isn't) what do you think about the tat filling the shed shelves?
