Had mine about 2 years, Where I store my tools there's an engineer next door who said there's a bit of slack in my bearings (the nd 200 were talking about here) but said that it could be the way it's been engineered:yes:

Question for Dave N

Is the bearing in the ND 200 Repairable? as in.....can it be got at to change? :huh2:

My ND200 is making a horrible noise lately.......sounds like bearings to me:huh2:

No sorry - I hear plenty of motor recon places can change the bearing reasonably cheaply

If it's under 2 years old, therefore in warrantee, Rubi will give you a new motor FOC

Thanks for the review - I need a new small cutter anytime soon and I have 2 questions: Does the lack of a fully enclosed tray mean it sprays a bit/ a lot underneath and is the guard as easy to remove for plunge cuts as you make out?

Cheers!

I didn't notice any excessive water spray.....and yes the guard comes off very easy...2 screws .. quarter turn each and the guard slides out..and back in and re-tighten...

Re: Review : Rubi ND180 BL electric tile cutter..

reeett..still a better cutter than a plasplug though...

Is it though??

Yes it's Rubi and yes that gets you a super dooper gaurantee :hurray: (not sure what plasplugs gaurantee is..) BUT.... is it better??

Has anyone got a Plasplugs Master machine that could comment?

I am thinking of a new small wet cutter and have looked at both the Plasplugs Master and the Rubi 180BL and can't make my mind up - B&Q hasthe plasplugs one in for 80quid :8:

I've got a large Rubi bridge saw and not had much bother but the 180BL just looks like a cheapo machine with a rubi sticker on.....

Re: Review : Rubi ND180 BL electric tile cutter..

Not so sure about rubi electric cutters, their snap cutters are in a leugue of their own but i dont think the price for their power range reflects the quality as much
