        Will this work on porcellin tiles?
        ByOct 14, 2021
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        Dear customer. Please note that Practic tile cutter is recommended for intensive cut of ceramic tiles up to 3/8" thick with the occasional cut of porcelain tiles. It should be able to cut porcelain tiles but it will depend on the hardness and thickness of the tile. Keep in mind that 3/8" is the limit of this machine and porcelain is the hardest material out there. Also note, that this machine comes with a 6mm scoring wheel but 8mm is recommended for porcelain tiles. For cutting porcelain tiles regularly, I would suggest you Speed-N Rubi tile cutter. Should you have any other question, please do not hesitate to contact us at 305-715-9892 or via email at rubitools.usa@rubi.com. Thanks

              It should, however this is a very basic tile cutter. Recommend to upgrade for better quality cuts.

              By|Mar 18, 2021

              Dear customer, thank you for your interest in Rubi Tools. No, this tile cutter won't cut rubber tiles. It is designed to cut only ceramic, porcelain or glass tiles. Please reach out to our customers service at 305-715-9892 or by email at rubitools.usa@rubi.com for any additional question. Thanks

              By|Mar 17, 2021

                Not sure, I doubt it as it is designed to score the surface of the tile and snap the tile at the score line.

                  I did not like this machine. Not the best one by far. I advise you to invest.more in a better tool to simplify the job.

                  By|Feb 10, 2021

                    I used mine to cut backsplash tiles and it done great. I didn't cut any vinyl with it.

                    Answer This Question

                    Dear Customer, Thank you for your interest in Rubi Tools. To replace the scoring wheel, simply rotate the handle CCW about a half turn, remove scoring wheel with shaft, slide-in new scoring wheel with shaft and adjust to desired height, then rotate handle CW to secure scoring wheel.

                      It us very unlikely to have the need to replace the diamond cutter. Maybe for another size. Instructions come in the box and it's basically like a screw. Turn ir to tighten it, opposite to loosen it.

                        No instructions, even when the company responses on here they still dont provide instructions on how to assemble, still confused on how the break is supposed to work when it goes higher than the handle, unless i am missing a part or i assembled it wrong. BUT I CANT FIGURE IT OUT BECAUSE THERES NO INSTRUCTIONS.

                        Dear Customer, thank you for your purchase of Rubi Tools. We thank you for your feedback and appreciate you taking the time to post your review. At Rubi Tools, we take our continuous improvement program very seriously and we always appreciate constructive feedback that will help better our product.
                        Rubi is a Spanish company and we sell all over the globe. Since the Practic cutters are international cutters, the icons on the carton are how we relay to customers on how to use the product. However, you can view the Speed 28 manual which a step up product, but assembles and operates very similar to the Practic cutters. On the Speed 28 product page, there is a how-to video to show how to make cuts. In addition, there is a how to video of this cutter in youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iff6XqPoVMk
                        As with any tool, there is a learning curve for those who have not used a manual cutter. Hopefully a few tips will help you with your cutter and of course feel free to contact our customer service department with any questions regarding your cutter or other Rubi products.
                        Rubi manual cutters work on a score and snap principle and it is important to get a consistent score across the entire cut path. Please note that it is possible to press too hard when making the score, so you want to apply even pressure throughout the entire score. Too hard pressure will result in a rough cut with larger chipping and jagged edges. We recommend that you make a few practice cuts on scrap tile with varying pressures in order to get the feel for the right pressure to make clean cuts. Always keep in mind that a consistent score is needed and not a deep score to cut tile with manual cutters.
                        Once the score is complete, make sure to use the breaker at the end of the tile near the fence. This is the best place to start the controlled break and ensure a clean cut. Never try to push the breaker down in the middle of the tile, this will result in erratic and inconsistent breaks in the tile.
                        The scoring wheel that comes with the product is ideal for smooth surface tile, but we would recommend using a larger Rubi scoring wheel for textured and harder porcelain products. If you have textured or hard to cut tile, we recommend the 3/8 scoring wheel (10mm). Larger scoring wheels not only help work through highly textured tile, but have a different edge profile which are also ideal for harder porcelains.
                        If you are still having difficulties, we are here to help. Please reach out to our customers service at 305-715-9892 or by email at rubitools.usa@rubi.com so that we can help resolve any issues and answer any questions that you may have regarding your tool. You can also find tips on the product page on Homedepot.com and on our YouTube channel for extra guidance.
                        Thank you for your purchase and have a great day! Rubi

                          I purchased this to cut glass tile for a kitchen backsplash. It didn't come with any instructions and I was totally new to cutting glass. So I had to kind of figure it out. You can adjust the height of the diamond wheel/blade so that is good. Never used the metal side piece that came with it. Worked

                          We own two wet tile saws and I needed something small and easy for a small backsplash repair for a customer. She had glass tiles that needed to be cut and put in where a microwave had been changed out. I didn't want to try to cut small glass tiles with my wet saw so I found this Rubi that says it cuts glass. I practiced on a few pieces till I got the hang of it. It's not intuitive and there are no real directions except a few pictures on the side of the box. I found Youtube videos from Rubi that really helped me figure it out. It worked beautifully! Then I used it to cut 12 x 24 tiles for a laundry room. What a time saver! This is so much faster and easier than the wet saw. I did have to use the wet saw for just a few pieces because the Rubi only does straight cuts and I had some corners to cut. I will be using this cutter on all my tile jobs from here on out. I didn't get a picture of the backsplash but I do have a pic of the laundry room I tiled with the Rubi.

                          My Rubi came in pieces. It was not put together properly and came apart in shipping. I called Rubi due to a part that had been broken and they took care of everything. Rubi was super easy to deal with and very helpful. We used the cutter with the broken part and i still worked great. I had a heck of a time with very narrow pieces 1 1/4'' or less. I would have to score those 2x and then break. I used a diamond blade on a cutoff tool to cut registers and plumbing holes. This tool is so much faster than a wet saw or grinding tile. I love it. This exact unit will cut 24'' tile. It comes with a very small (i think 1/4'') scoring wheel, so the next time i am in town I wheel buy a larger one ( I think it will help with scoring narrow cuts).

                          performed as advertised!
                          Used it to cut 17 x 17 inch ceramic tile. It worked like a charm. Easy to use, very clean cuts. I am the farthest thing from a handy man. I work with computers. This was my first attempt at laying tile and didn't want to invest too much money on tools I may only use once or twice. This tile cutter by rubi delivered on its promise! Very satisfied. I am posting an image of the cuts I made using it.
