About This Product
RUBI TS-MAX Manual Tile Cutters for Professional Work
RUBI TS-MAX Tile Cutters are lightweight professional score-and-snap cutters designed for intensive cutting of wall tile and glazed stoneware and frequent cutting of porcelain. A reinforced steel base and carrying case with strengthened latches and hinges give contractors a practical balance of cutting stability and portability for remodeling, flooring, and other professional tile work.
Progressive SMART POWER Breaking Control
Once the tile is scored, the high-performance single-point breaker applies progressive force along the score. SMART POWER regulates breaking pressure according to material thickness and can deliver up to 1,764 lb of force, helping the operator separate compatible tile with the pressure needed while maintaining control.
Clear Scoring with Dual Guides and SLS
Two solid, chromed, ground, and calibrated steel guides keep the scoring and cutting line visible throughout the cut. Anti-corrosion treatment and reinforced guide supports add rigidity and durability, while the SLS Secure Lock System promotes precise, efficient scoring during repeated professional use.
Stable Support for Straight and Repeat Cuts
TS-MAX Manual Tile Cutters use a wide, reinforced steel base to create a stable surface beneath the tile. The enlarged lateral stop helps position material for straight and 45° repetitive cuts, while the bi-material handle provides a comfortable grip during regular professional use.
Interchangeable Scoring Wheels for Material Flexibility
RUBI TS-MAX Manual Cutters include a 1/4" (6 mm) scoring wheel for standard tile and a 3/8" (10 mm) wheel for glazed stoneware. The interchangeable system also accepts other compatible RUBI scoring wheels, helping installers match the wheel to different ceramic materials and cutting requirements.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can RUBI TS-MAX Manual Tile Cutters cut?
RUBI TS-MAX Manual Tile Cutters are designed for intensive cutting of wall tile and glazed stoneware and frequent cutting of porcelain tile. Select a compatible scoring wheel for the ceramic material and keep the workpiece within the cutter’s specified thickness and capacity limits.
What is the difference between the TS-43 MAX, TS-66 MAX, and TS-75 MAX?
The TS-43 MAX cuts up to 16-7/8" straight and 11-3/4" × 11-3/4" diagonally. The TS-66 MAX increases capacity to 25" and 18-1/8" × 18-1/8", while the TS-75 MAX provides 29-1/2" and 20-7/8" × 20-7/8".
What tile thickness can TS-MAX Manual Tile Cutters handle?
All listed TS-MAX models are rated for tile from 1/4" to 5/8" thick, approximately 6 to 15 mm. The scoring wheel can be changed to suit different ceramic materials, but the tile must remain within the cutter’s supported thickness range.
How does the SMART POWER breaking system work?
SMART POWER is RUBI’s progressive breaking system. The single-point breaker regulates pressure according to tile thickness and can deliver up to 1,764 lb of force when required. This allows the operator to apply controlled separating pressure after scoring compatible tile.
What does the SLS scoring system do?
SLS stands for Secure Lock System and is designed to make scoring more precise and efficient. It works with the dual steel guides to maintain visibility of the scoring line, while reinforced guide supports add the rigidity needed for consistent professional operation.
What scoring wheels are included?
Each cutter includes a 1/4" (6 mm) scoring wheel for standard tile and a 3/8" (10 mm) wheel for glazed stoneware. The interchangeable system also accepts other compatible RUBI scoring wheels, allowing the wheel to be matched to different ceramic materials.
Can the TS-MAX series make repetitive and 45° cuts?
Yes. The enlarged lateral stop supports tile positioning for straight repetitive cuts and 45° layouts, helping users maintain the selected measurement or angle across multiple pieces. The wide reinforced base provides additional stability while the material is positioned and scored.
Does each TS-MAX cutter include a carrying case?
Yes. Every listed model includes a carrying case with reinforced latches and hinges. The case protects the cutter during transportation and storage, complementing the lightweight construction and making it easier to move the tool between jobs and working areas.
