Tile cutters - Rubi / Husqvarna

[sanj.varah]

Has anyone tried any of these machines? I have bought some porcelain tiles that are about 10mm thick and my electric tile cutter just isn't up to it.

Has anyone got any suggestions? I'm thinking either a Rubi machine or the Husqvarna TC670 which is on ebay?

any advice gratefully appreciated.

thanks

Sanj,
The last job that I did before Christmas was tiling a bathroom, walls and floor, all the same tiles, 600x300x10mm porcelain. All the straight cuts, even the narrow ones, the Rubi TS 60 Plus cut them no problem. The only time I used the wet wheel was on some of the cut outs/corners etc. I would be lost without the Rubi's, (I have the TS 50 Plus as well) and can thoroughly recommend them. I don't know about the Husqvarna TC670, so I can't comment on it.
