Rubi TR-600 MAGNET Tile Cutter 60cm

If you've ever wrestled with a diagonal cut on a manual cutter, the TR-600 MAGNET is worth a look. Its breaker travels with the handle rather than sitting in one fixed spot, so it presses evenly along the cut from corner to corner. Add the swivel square, which pivots from the centre for angled cuts anywhere between -45° and 45°, and awkward shapes become far less stressful.

The MAGNET part of the name is all about how the breaker locks. A magnet holds it out of the way while you score, keeping the cutting line in clear view, then lifting the lever sets it ready to snap. You can do the whole thing one-handed, leaving your other hand free to steady the tile.

It cuts tiles up to 60cm long, diagonals up to 42 x 42cm, and thicknesses from 3mm to 15mm. With 800kg of breaking force, everyday ceramic and stoneware are no trouble, and it copes well with regular porcelain cutting too. A side stop helps with repeat cuts, side supports hold larger tiles steady, and it all packs away into the carrying case it comes with.

Need a bit more length? The TR-710 MAGNET takes tiles up to 71cm.
