Excellent tile cutter for production work
I have used smaller manual tile cutters in the past, as well as wet tile saws. In terms of quality and ease of use, this is by far the best tile cutter I have used. It's large - huge, in fact. The cutter measures 42" end-to-end. I used it for cutting 12" tile, which looked like playthings in the cutter because it is so big. Cuts are clean and quick with the Speed-92. One pass with the cutting wheel is adequate to make a clean break. Unlike using a wet saw, the cuts are clean and precise. There is no mess - from water or ceramic / porcelain debris. More importantly, I found the Speed-92 to be faster than even a tile saw. The only problem with the tool is the instructions. They are not great. I downloaded a more complete set from the Rubi website, but they were still not the best. As an example, the instructions showed the ability to cut a curve using the Speed-92, but I have yet to be successful with it. I've stuck with straight line cuts.

Excellent tile cutter for production and professional work
I have used smaller manual tile cutters in the past, as well as wet tile saws. In terms of quality and ease of use, this is by far the best tile cutter I have used. It's large - huge, in fact.

More importantly, I found the Speed-92 to be faster than even a tile saw. I still need a tile saw for certain cuts and shaping tiles around obstacles, but for most cut tile situations, this is the far better solution. The only problem with the tool is the instructions. They are not great. I downloaded a more complete set from the Rubi website, but they were still not the best.

One the best score and snap saws out there
This is the Rubi Speed 92 score and snap tile cutter. I have had this for over a week now and have laid over 1000 square feet of tile using it. Sizes including 9"x36", 12"x12", 18"x9", and 2"x2". This is my first score and snap tool and I'm super impressed. In the video I am recording myself making this cut which means I made this cut 100% with my right hand only. One handed cutting is very easy to do on this saw. This specific model from Rubi will rip 36" tiles length wise and up to 26" tiles in half on a diagnal and everything else in between. The carrying case it comes with is very heavy duty with spots for extra scoring wheels and room for misc items if you wish to put other stuff in there. It can be carried easily from the van to jobsite with one hand in or out of the case. The tool itself has rubber feet on the bottom to protect whatever surface you are putting it on to cut. It has a solid metal base with a rubber pad for the tile to sit on which is very grippy and helps the tile from moving once you have it measured and set in the correct position. Adjusting the scoring wheel in the up position (further away from the tile) is a little tricky but nothing that isnt quickly learned. The new model coming out in May of 2017 has this problem addressed and fixed. Their new model is called the Speed 92M. When I was in las vegas at the 2017 surfaces event I got to play with the new design. I am a huge fan on the amount of time it saves and the quality of cuts it produces.

    Easy to use
    This was the first time I cut tile, so I needed my handyman neighbor to get me started. After that it was a snap. I cut over 30 tiles to fit the edge of my kitchen and pantry, and it went smooth without any problems. I imagine that a more experienced tile worker could have done it much faster, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well I did for a first timer.

    Makes quick work of snapping tiles
    I am weekend warrior and in no way a professional when it comes to tile so when I first opened this, I was extremely confused by the picture instructions provided. There are 3 images that show how the scorer is inserted and that's it - nothing on how to actually cut the tile. After watching the video on the product page here, it was finally clear how to score and then snap the tile. I cut 2 ceramic tiles - 18" and a 6" and both snapped cleanly. I did try to make a small cut of 1/2" which did not work (presumably because there wasn't enough tile for it to apply pressure and make the snap) so that limitation is not something I expected & not sure if it is typical of manual tile cutters. As far as the carrying case goes, it's pretty heavy plastic with seemingly flimsy latches. I would rather have a soft canvas case with a zipper or no case at all in exchange for a lower price. Beyond that, it is a great product so far and look forward to many more DIY tile projects!
