How to cut a curve on a Rubi Snap Cutter.
Rubi TS40 amzn.to/2iBtGpb
With some snap cutters it is possible to make a curved cut on a tile without needing to use a grinder or a wet saw. This is especially true for Rubi TS series snap cutters. In a recent video I showed how I had repaired my old Rubi TS-50 which I had taken out of service years ago because I had simply worn it out by long years of successful use. After my repair I put it back into use and remembered just how good this score and snap cutter is. As luck would have it, the very first job that I used this cutter I had to cut along a curved tub, which is actually one of the things that the TS dose quite well. Let me be clear not all tiles will lend themselves to this type of cut on a snap cutter but quite a few will. In this video I show how to cut a curve in a porcelain tile with not much effort at all. To facilitate the turning of a tile, a second porcelain tile can be placed under the tile to be cut to allow easier turning of the top tile. The bottom tile must be removed when it is time to snap the tile.

[@robgarner6244]

Great little cutter. Do you have any tricks of the trade for marking the curve? (as opposed to actually cutting it) very neat job.

[@pakistanairfibercompanylim3632]

Good

[@richardpeatmont4231]

Hi Sal great videos I have multiple rubi cutters and was wondering why we need so many different scoring wheels for the rubi cutters when sigma montolit and ishii tomacanic and many more can get away whith just one? any thoughts would be great thanks !!!

[@SalDiBlasi]

They give the option of different wheels to suit the type of tile, instead of relying on one size score all tiles. Easier to get a better fit for the tile.

[@randymathews3348]

wow! 👌

[@fominsbluesboxes6372]

Супер!

[@estpaul3132]

think this would work on a 1950's curved cast iron tub, or is a tile saw and several relife cuts and shaping better?

[@SalDiBlasi]

+EstPaul only way to know is to try, it may work.

[@artpho8168]

what size of blade did you used

[@SalDiBlasi]

if you mean the size of the scoring wheel, it was either the 5/16 or the 3/8 amzn.to/2kPhgIb

[@LightGesture]

Well, dang..

[@jessicacallahan9711]
