[tiler burden]

cheers for that dave

i sold some tools a while back but as it happens, things have taken a twist and i am looking at getting 2 new dry cutters. i thought i'd get the new ts50+ (60cm) and the tx700n .....i am trying to solve the small job big job scenario at the minimum cost. in the ideal world id have a ts40+, ts60+ and the tx700n but i am living the REAL world so 2 cutters have to be chosen :0(

Well ed. you must a be man after my own heart.. i just bought a few weeks back the tx700n..then i bought the ts50+..these two cutters replaced my ts 40 and ts 60 both good cutters but not a patch on the 50+ and tx 700n..not just sayin this coz they are rubi coz i have used allsorts over the years and these are the best..honestly..try and you will see...good luck..........dave

I note that the Rubi TX-700-N cuts porcelain but can this also be used for other tiles such as ceramic wall tiles?

Thanks.

Also, what is the difference between the Rubi TX-700 model and the "N" model? I can't seem to find any difference when looking at the specs on the various websites.

the tx 700n is a great cutter, also own the montolit masterpiuma 52 great as well, just comes down to your own perference.not tryed a sigma .
