What our Experts Think

• Fast magnetic “one-hand” cutting system
  The TR-MAGNET (Ref. 17907) uses a magnetic breaker mechanism that lets installers score and snap with one smooth motion—speeding up repetitive cutting on-site.
• Strong breaking power for tough tiles
  Delivers around 800 kg (≈1760 lbs) of separation force, making it capable of handling dense porcelain and ceramic tiles with clean, controlled snaps.
• Precision for straight and diagonal cuts
  Includes a swivel square system with central pivot, enabling accurate angled cuts (like 45°) without complex setup.
• Built for intensive professional use
  Designed for frequent cutting of porcelain and ceramic tiles, with reinforced rails and a rigid base that reduce flex under pressure.
• Cleaner, more consistent scoring
  High-visibility scoring line and stable guide system help reduce chipping and improve repeat accuracy on long runs.
• Job-site efficiency focus
  Features like lateral stop for repetitive cuts and a floating shock-absorbing base make it ideal for production-style tiling work.
• Expert insight
  This is a pro-level manual cutter built for speed and consistency, not for oversized slabs—but it excels in everyday tile installation where efficiency matters.

Q&A

Q1: What is the Rubi TR-MAGNET 17907 used for?
A: It is a professional heavy-duty manual tile cutter designed for intensive cutting of porcelain, ceramic, and stoneware tiles, especially for demanding job-site use.

Q2: What makes the TR-MAGNET system special?
A: It features a magnetic one-hand breaking system, allowing faster, smoother cutting and improved efficiency during repetitive work.

Q3: Is it good for diagonal cuts?
A: Yes, it includes a swivel square with central pivot, making it highly accurate for straight and diagonal (angle) cuts.

Q4: How strong is the breaking system?
A: It delivers up to 800 kg (≈1760 lbs) of breaking force, enabling clean snaps even on dense porcelain tiles.

Q5: What tile thickness can it handle?
A: It cuts tiles approximately 3–15 mm thick (about 1/8"–5/8"), covering most ceramic and porcelain applications.

Q6: What cutting length does the 17907 model offer?
A: The TR-600 MAGNET (17907) supports up to 24" (60 cm) straight cuts and 16.5" diagonal cuts.

Q7: What materials is it best for?
A: It is designed for ceramic tiles, glazed stoneware, and frequent porcelain tile cutting in professional environments.

Q8: What improves accuracy during cutting?
A: It uses a reinforced guide system, high-visibility scoring line, and floating shock-absorbing base to reduce chipping and improve precision.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean chromed guide rails daily: Remove porcelain dust and tile debris to maintain smooth sliding and precise scoring performance.
• Keep magnetic breaker system clean: Ensure the MAGNET mechanism stays free of slurry so it locks/unlocks smoothly for one-hand operation.
• Avoid lubrication or grease: Dry operation is required—oil attracts abrasive dust and reduces cutting accuracy (common for all TR series cutters).
• Inspect scoring wheel regularly: Replace when worn to maintain clean, chip-free cuts on porcelain and ceramic tiles.
• Check swivel square alignment: Ensure the rotating square moves freely for accurate straight and 45° repetitive cuts.
• Tighten frame & base supports: Maintain stability of the reinforced base and side supports during high-pressure breaking.
• Store in protective case: Prevent rail bending, impact damage, and misalignment during transport.
• Keep dry at all times: Protect anti-corrosion steel guides from rust and surface wear.
