I am looking to get a new tile cutter (manual, not a wet saw). Any recommendations?
Thanks

my Rubi has served me well over the years.
the "single pinch" snapper took some getting used to ... one point raises from underneath ... as opposed to the typical "wide pad" that ya press down from above ...
but it'll cut most anything I throw at it.
I also have a standard 2 bar snap/scorer I picked up at HD for about a hundred bucks ... for times when the tiles are smaller and I don't feel like digging out that monster big Rubi case. That one if the "Brute" ... or "Brutis" ..? something like that ...

Thanks Jeff, I looked at the Brutus at HD, cuts 20" tiles, I wanted to see what other options were out there.
I have the 20" Brutus and it works well, and if I did a lot of tile I would get a Rubi as well, partly because the replacement wheels are easy to get. Tile nippers are also a must.

here's a good place to start looking. Have bought from them before ... good prices ... great selection.
I was considering the Ishii(sp?) before I bought the Rubi.
