With a combination of cutting-edge materials and an innovative design, the TK from RUBI is the most advanced manual ceramic tile cutter on the market. Its special design with an asymmetric guide provides great visibility of the scoring wheel during marking, and it is also equipped with special bearings suitable for high load conditions that offer smooth and precise sliding. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts 3,306.9 lbs (1500 kg) of maximum power and its exclusive and patented separating mechanism allow the professional tiler to operate the cutter with one hand, thus facilitating work with large formats of ceramic tile. The operation of separating the ceramic consists of a trigger and ratchet system that provides a feeling of safety and power during the cutting of the ceramic process. It includes a removable aluminum square provided with a magnetic system, with which we will improve the precision of the measurement and avoid possible movements or misalignments. The TK manual cutters have been specially designed to work with large format
