Rubi TX-1020 Max Manual Tile Cutter

As of 2021, by my own ranking, the RUBI TX-1020 MAX L is the best tile cutter, though it comes in a little behind the Rubi TZ. The Rubi TX-MAX range of professional manual tile cutters is a perfect fit for heavy cutting of any type of ceramic and porcelain tile.

Thanks to its powerful sliding breaker and swivel rule, Rubi TX-MAX cutters handle angled cuts from 0° to 45° easily, quickly and accurately, especially in porcelain. With 1200 kg of breaking force the TX-MAX copes beautifully with the toughest porcelain.

The RUBI TX-1020 MAX manual tile cutter has:

• A cutting head on an aluminium carriage with friction “self-cleaning, self-lubricating bearings”. That does not mean you can stop wiping the tubes and keeping them clean;
• A sliding breaker with wide aluminium feet fitted with plastic protective caps. Because of them the breaker leaves no marks on delicate surfaces. Oddly enough, the wide feet still let you snap off the thinnest strips;
• The swivel rule is centred, has a scale and can be calibrated, which gives more accuracy on angled cuts;
• The steel tubular guides are Ø30 mm with a 2 mm wall.
• Better visibility of the scoring and breaking area.
• A comfortable ergonomic soft-grip handle;
• A cushioned galvanised steel work table that keeps the material steady while you cut;
• The breaker locks with a ratchet;
• The breaker releases with a trigger;
• There is a side stop for repeat cuts and for cutting thin strips;
• The injected aluminium base is reinforced with a central rib for extra strength.

The RUBI TX-1020 MAX comes with a case. The kit also includes an 8 mm scoring wheel and a 22 mm EXTREME scoring wheel on a bearing. All scoring wheels in the PLUS range can be used. What the RUBI TX-1020 MAX manual tile cutter gives you is high scoring accuracy and high breaking force (1200 kg). Scoring and breaking are both done with one hand.
