About This Product
RUBI SPEED-N Manual Tile Cutters for Ceramic Tile
RUBI SPEED-N Tile Cutters are lightweight professional score-and-snap tools designed for frequent ceramic wall tile and glazed stoneware cutting, with occasional use on porcelain tile. Available in 28" and 36" capacities, they suit backsplashes, bathrooms, flooring, and remodeling projects where installers need accurate straight and angled cuts without carrying a heavy duty cutter.
Rigid Dual-Guide Scoring with a Visible Cut Line
SPEED-N Manual Tile Cutters use solid chromed steel guides, closed sliders, and an aluminum tool holder to create a rigid scoring path. The double-guide layout leaves the intended cut visible, helping the operator keep the scoring wheel aligned before the mobile multipoint breaker applies pressure along the score.
Stable Support for Repetitive and 45° Cuts
A lightweight cast aluminum base provides a stable cutting platform while remaining manageable between work areas. Lateral extensions support larger pieces, while an aluminum lateral stop establishes a repeatable reference for matching straight cuts and 45° layouts. These features help installers maintain consistent positioning across patterned tile installations.
Interchangeable Scoring Wheels for Different Materials
RUBI SPEED-N Manual Cutters accept compatible RUBI scoring wheels from 1/4" to 3/8", allowing the wheel to be matched to different ceramic materials and surfaces. Each model includes a 5/16" scoring wheel, providing a practical starting configuration for the materials the series is designed to handle.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can RUBI SPEED-N Manual Tile Cutters cut?
The series is designed for frequent cutting of ceramic wall tile and glazed stoneware, with occasional use on porcelain tile. Choose a compatible RUBI scoring wheel for the material and surface, and keep the workpiece within the listed cutting thickness for the selected SPEED-N model.
What are the cutting capacities of the SPEED-N models?
The SPEED-72 N provides a 28" straight-cut capacity and handles tile up to 20" x 20" diagonally. The SPEED-92 N provides a 36" straight-cut capacity and handles tile up to 26" x 26" diagonally. Choose the model based on the largest straight and diagonal formats expected.
What tile thickness can SPEED-N Tile Cutters handle?
Both models offered on this listing accommodate tile from 1/4" to 5/8" thick. Thickness alone does not establish material compatibility, so the tile should also be suitable for manual score-and-snap cutting and paired with a scoring wheel selected for its surface and composition.
How does the dual-guide system improve cutting control?
The solid chromed steel guides form a rigid scoring path while leaving the cut line visible between them. Closed sliders and an aluminum tool holder improve assembly stability, and the mobile multipoint breaker applies pressure after scoring to separate the tile along the intended line.
Can SPEED-N Manual Tile Cutters make repetitive and 45° cuts?
Yes. An aluminum lateral stop provides a consistent positioning reference for repetitive straight cuts and 45° layouts. Lateral extensions on the cast aluminum base provide additional support for larger pieces, helping the tile remain supported while it is positioned, scored, and separated.
Which scoring wheels are included and compatible?
Each cutter includes a 5/16" (8 mm) scoring wheel. The SPEED-N series accepts compatible RUBI scoring wheels from 1/4" (6 mm) through 3/8" (10 mm), allowing installers to select a wheel that better matches the ceramic material and surface being cut.
