Rubi Tools HIT-N Professional Tile Cutters - 26963

Rubi Tools HIT-N Professional Tile Cutters - 26963

The HIT-N manual cutters are robust and precise tile cutters for the most demanding jobs in large-format tiles. Equipped with a high-performance breaker, the HIT-N can apply a maximum power of 1,763 lbs at the time of separating the material. In addition, the breaker unit incorporates the revolutionary Rubi Magnet system, which allows the locking and unlocking of the breaker, to score and separate, with one hand, providing greater working speed and greater comfort when handling large format tiles. The sliding set of the HIT-N incorporates linear bearings that provide greater softness and comfort during scoring.

What our Experts Think

• Professional heavy-duty snap cutter for porcelain work
  The HIT-N (Ref. 26963) is a robust manual tile cutter designed for demanding professional use, especially on porcelain, glazed stoneware, and ceramic tiles.
• Strong breaking power for clean results
  Delivers up to ~800 kg (≈1760 lbs) of separation force, allowing clean, controlled snapping even on dense modern porcelain tiles.
• Designed for accuracy on medium formats
  The 26963 model supports up to ~85 cm cutting length, making it ideal for standard wall and floor tile installations and repetitive cuts.
• Smooth scoring + stable rail system
  Uses dual guide rails and a rigid base structure, helping maintain straight, consistent scoring with reduced deviation during long cuts.
• MAGNET-assisted breaker system for speed
  The integrated RUBI MAGNET system improves locking and snapping efficiency, enabling faster workflow on repetitive job-site cutting.
• Optimized for everyday pro use (not slab work)
  Best suited for ceramic and porcelain tiles up to ~15 mm thickness, covering most residential and commercial tiling jobs.
• Expert insight
  Compared to higher-end RUBI cutters (like TX/TK series), the HIT-N focuses on reliability, speed, and consistency rather than extreme cutting size or slab capacity.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean chromed guide rails after every use: Remove porcelain dust and ceramic residue to keep cutting smooth and accurate.
• Keep MAGNET breaker system dust-free: Ensure the one-hand magnetic release mechanism stays clean for fast, consistent snapping force.
• Avoid oil or heavy lubrication: Dry operation prevents abrasive dust buildup and maintains scoring precision.
• Inspect scoring wheel regularly: Replace when wear appears to maintain clean, chip-free cuts on porcelain and stoneware.
• Check alignment before each job: Ensure rails, square guide, and carriage are perfectly straight for accurate repetitive cuts.
• Tighten frame & side supports periodically: Maintains rigidity under high breaking force (up to ~800 kg / 1764 lb).
• Clean sliding carriage bearings: Wipe dust from linear bearings to preserve smooth, low-resistance movement.
• Store in dry, protected area: Prevent rust on steel parts and keep guide alignment stable over time.
