Rubi Tile Saws in 2026: A Look at the New Cordless Energy CAS Series

Large-format tile can look great but cutting it at home is often the hard part. A nearby wall outlet may be in the wrong place. Extension cords can cross the work area, and one poor cut can waste an expensive tile.

RUBI’s new TC-125 G2 ENERGY CAS brings a cordless option to large-format cutting in 2026. But what’s so special about it? We’re answering this question and more.

We looked at what changed, where the tool may fit, and how it compares with tools you may already know.

What is the TC-125 G2 ENERGY CAS?

The TC-125 G2 ENERGY CAS is a battery-powered circular cutter made for large-format ceramic tile. It builds on the corded TC-125 G2 design while adding an 18V CAS battery system, a brushless motor, and six electronic speed settings.

For a DIY remodel, the cordless setup may stand out first. You can move around large tiles without dragging a cord beside the cutting path. The added freedom may help when you are working in a garage, on a patio, or in a room where outlets are limited.

The tool weighs about 4.5 kilograms, or just under 10 pounds. RUBI also designed it for both straight and miter cuts. A water and dust collection setup helps manage the mess that comes with powered cutting.

Why Cordless Cutting Matters on Large Tile

Large-format tile creates a different problem than a small backsplash tile. You may need to guide a cut across a long surface while keeping the tile fully supported. A cord can catch on a corner, pull against the tool, or force you to stop and reset your position.

A Rubi Tile Saw gives free movement real value here. The TC-125 G2 ENERGY CAS is also compatible with RUBI’s G2 guide system. Rails help keep long cuts on track, which matters when a small error could ruin a costly slab or panel.

The six speed settings add another useful layer. Different materials and blades may call for different cutting speeds. Better control can help you work with more care instead of treating every tile the same way.

How it Builds on the Corded TC-125 G2

You do not have to start from zero to understand the new model. Tile This already carries the RUBI TC-125 G2 Circular Tile Saw, a rail-guided corded cutter for ceramic, porcelain, stone, and large-format slabs.

The corded model supports straight cuts, plunge cuts, and cuts up to a 45-degree miter. It can work with wet or dry setups and connect to a vacuum for dust control. The new ENERGY CAS version keeps the large-format focus while changing how you power and handle the tool.

For homeowners, the key choice may come down to the work area. A corded tool can make sense in a fixed cutting station with easy power access. A cordless model may be more appealing when you need to move around oversized tile or work farther from an outlet.

A Rubi Tile Cutter Still Has a Place

A powered saw is not the best answer for every cut. A Rubi Tile Cutter can be faster for simple score-and-snap work on suitable ceramic or porcelain tile. Manual cutters also avoid power cords, batteries, and water.

Your tile size, material, thickness, and cut shape should guide the choice. Straight repeat cuts on standard tile may suit a manual cutter. Large panels, miter cuts, plunge cuts, or dense materials may push you toward a saw.

If you want a clearer breakdown before deciding, you can compare wet saws and tile cutters to see how each tool handles different materials and cut types. 

It also helps to look at common manual tile cutter mistakes if score-and-snap cutting fits your project.

What DIYers Should Check Before Choosing

A new cordless tool can look exciting, but the best choice still depends on your project. Before buying a Rubi Tile Saw or Rubi Tile Cutter, check:

• The largest tile you need to cut
• Whether the material is ceramic, porcelain, or stone
• The need for straight, miter, or plunge cuts
• Where you plan to set up the cutting area
• Which blades, rails, batteries, and dust or water controls are required

Plan the full setup, not just the main tool. Large tile also needs steady support and enough open space for safe handling.
