Description
Overview
RUBI TZ manual cutters are designed for large-format ceramic and porcelain tile, with a one-handed breaker delivering up to approximately 3,307 lb of force. Five sizes let the cutter be matched to the required format instead of applying one maximum cutting length to the entire range.
Features
- Patented head guidance supports controlled scoring under load.
- Foldable aluminum support tables and a steel frame.
- One-handed breaker mechanism for scoring and separation.
- Compatible with the appropriate RUBI PLUS scoring wheels.
What's Included
- Selected TZ cutter and reinforced textile transport bag.
- 8 mm SILVER and 22 mm EXTREME scoring wheels.
- TZ-1300, TZ-1550 and TZ-1800 bags include two built-in wheels.

Applications
Use for intensive manual cutting of large ceramic and porcelain tiles, including long planks and larger square formats within the selected model’s capacities. Straight and diagonal limits differ, so choose the cutter around the actual cut rather than the tile’s nominal size alone.
Selection and Use
- For material thicker than 15 mm, RUBI recommends sample cuts: internal stresses, physical characteristics and surface finish can prevent a satisfactory manual break.
- Use an appropriate electric cutter when the material cannot be reliably scored and separated.
- Select the correct PLUS wheel for the tile; the cutter’s maximum thickness is not a guarantee that every tile of that thickness can be cut.
