I have had this cutter a while now along side a few Rubi's,, and i have noticed something im using it more and more my Rubi's are becoming a tad redundant because of this big fellow.:lol:
There is not much i have found it does not cut, fits 600's with ease i do replace the wheel more often than rubi but cant fault it really , good breaking power too,,, to my amazement the other day i was fitting a small amount of Granite ( cheap stuff mind 10mm 300x300 ) and for some reason i thought i would see what the clinker would do to it ,, well it cut it !! and snapped nice and crisp !! i was stunned.

So i suppose if any Tilers just startin out are on a tight budget this cutter would be my tip, you will get loads of use out of it and its proper cheap in comparison to other cutters ,, well worth it IMO :thumbsup:

It is chunky monkey whitebeam, love that handle you dont mind puttin a bit of pressure on gear like that , 'a proper mans cutter' haha, when you use a rubi after that it all feels a bit fiddly
Sad but true i have started to call mine Betsy !!!!

I bot this a week ago after some great tips on this site and i cant believe how easy it cuts through 10mm porcelain like butter ive not been doing tiling long but my other cutter wouldnt even score these tiles lol. I would also recomend this for a budget pro tile cutter. Its also a big ego thing when u pull it out the car lol :smilewinkgrin:

Had a go with Genesis version. Cuts well and anything, but because of the cutter & clinker system,( being so big and wide) you just can't see your pencil marks.

I have just started out and bought this cutter as it was as good a cutter as I could afford. I thought it would be an acceptable stop gap cutter. I have got to say though it is great. Having never used a Rubi so I dont know what i missing this cutter has done me proud, on my first tiling job I could be found with a daft grin on my mush whilst marvelling at how good the clinker grande is.
