evening men,, i bought a big clinker mark 1.. havnt used it for a job yet,, but bought some porcelain tiles to test cut and it dosn't cut them perfectly straight they leave the tile ever so slightly curved when u look down the tile which happend to be 500mm.. if i get a rubi will it cut dead straight? thanks

Be prepared for war to commence between rubi & sigma owners!

To answer your question....... Yes, a TX rubi will cut straight!

So will a Sigma..

The big clinker should cut straight.

Did you buy it second hand?

Are the rails bend at all?

It'll be the bearings in the score/snap handle. Usually they start to get a bit vague after 6 months, yours perhaps needs tightening up.

I've noticed this on the clinker when the screw that holds the cutting wheel isn't fully tightened.

I have no probs with the clinker.

Hi men.. I had another mess around with it and found that after adjusting the cutting wheel it cut alot straighter. Thanks

I was going to say the same as Gus, is your wheel secure.
