FAQs
Which tile cutter models work with the 1220609 wheel?
This wheel is compatible with the RUBI TS-MAX, TR-MAGNET, and SPEED-MAGNET manual tile cutters.
Can I use this wheel on natural stone?
This wheel is primarily designed for ceramic and porcelain tiles; it is not recommended for dense natural stones like granite.
How do I know when to replace the scoring wheel?
Replace the wheel when you notice difficulty in scoring, increased chipping on the tile edges, or visible dulling of the carbide edge.
Does this wheel require lubrication?
The wheel generally does not require lubrication, but keeping the axle clear of dust is essential for smooth operation.
Is this wheel suitable for heavy-duty porcelain?
Yes, the tungsten carbide construction is specifically designed to handle the hardness of porcelain surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Scored line is not breaking cleanly
Ensure the score line was deep enough and check that the breaking feet of the tile cutter are aligned properly with the score mark.
Scoring wheel does not rotate freely
Remove the wheel from the axle and check for tile dust or debris buildup; clean with a dry brush and apply a tiny amount of light machine oil if necessary.
Visible chipping along the tile cut edge
The wheel may be dull or damaged; inspect the carbide edge for nicks or flat spots and replace the wheel if wear is visible.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade tungsten carbide ensures long-lasting sharpness
- Patented alloy construction provides superior wear resistance
- Precise scoring minimizes tile breakage and waste

Cons
- Compatible only with specific RUBI manual tile cutter models

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, loosen the retaining screw on your RUBI tile cutter’s handle, remove the worn wheel, and slide the new unit onto the axle, ensuring the washer is positioned correctly before tightening. This model (1220609) is compatible with the following series: TS-MAX, TR-MAGNET, and SPEED-MAGNET. To maintain the life of the wheel, always clear the tile surface of debris before scoring, as grit can cause micro-fractures in the carbide. Store the tool in a dry environment and avoid dropping the cutter handle, as direct impacts can chip the tungsten edge of the scoring wheel.
