RUBI Endure Scoring Wheel - 8mm (5/16in)

The primary advantage is its ability to provide sharp, precise scoring on hard, rough, or structured tile surfaces with minimal vibration, thanks to its high-quality tungsten carbide and patented shaft geometry.

It is compatible with the RUBI SPEED-N, FAST, STARMAX, STAR, and POCKET PRACTIC manual cutter series.

The 8mm (5/16in) refers to the diameter of the scoring wheel itself, which is a standard size suitable for most common scoring tasks.

The lifespan depends on the type of tile being cut and the frequency of use. With proper care and use on compatible materials, it should provide extensive service. Inspect regularly for wear or damage.

While it is designed for harder, rougher surfaces, it can also be used on smooth glazed tiles. However, its specific benefits are most pronounced on challenging materials.

No, the patented shaft design is integrated into the wheel's construction and does not change the standard installation process for compatible RUBI cutters.

Regular cleaning after use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove debris is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals. Store in a dry environment.

Ensure the scoring wheel is correctly seated and securely fastened in the cutter. Check for any debris on the wheel or the tile surface. Verify compatibility with your RUBI cutter model. The tile may be exceptionally hard; consider a brief break-in period with less demanding tiles if new.

Confirm the scoring wheel is properly installed and that the cutter's mechanism is functioning correctly. Ensure the wheel is clean and undamaged. The patented shaft design inherently minimizes vibration; if excessive vibration persists, check the cutter's overall condition.

This wheel is designed for hard tiles, but extremely abrasive materials may accelerate wear. Ensure you are using the correct scoring technique (consistent pressure, single pass). Check for any damage to the wheel that might indicate improper use or material defects.
