RUBI Tools: Elevating the art of tiling and landscaping with innovative solutions
RUBI Tools is a global leader in manufacturing tiling, construction, and landscaping tools, consistently delivering highquality products designed for professionals in these industries. Established in 1951, RUBI revolutionised the construction tools market with the invention of their first tile cutter for hydraulic mosaics. This groundbreaking innovation set the foundation for their now worldwide reach, and continued impact on the industry.
In recent years, their focus has been on developing cutting-edge tiling saws and diamond blades which prioritise both precision and user safety. This commitment is evident in their dedication to helping landscapers achieve flawless cuts while maintaining a strong emphasis on health and safety.
RUBI’s debut at GroundsFest 2024
The year 2024 marked RUBI’s first appearance at GroundsFest, where they had the opportunity to showcase their comprehensive range of landscaping tools. The spotlight was on their specialised tools for cutting, mitring, bullnosing, and transporting 20mm porcelain tiles, a material increasingly favoured by professionals.
Key products highlighted included the DC Python, DCX Expert, and DX 350 – saws specifically engineered for working with 20mm porcelain and natural stone tiles. These saws incorporate RUBI’s patented Zero Dust system, which effectively minimises dust generation during cutting, thereby enhancing user safety. Designed for outdoor use, each machine is equipped with a watercooling system that not only ensures precise cuts but also prevents the blade from overheating.
Introducing the DT-250 Max: A gamechanger in portable tile cutting
A standout feature at GroundsFest this year was RUBI’s newest innovation, the DT-250 Max. This model is designed with a convenient folding leg system and a sliding table, making it an ideal choice due to its quick set up and easy transportation. The DT-250 Max will officially hit the market in early 2025, providing professionals with a versatile solution for on-site projects.
Additional product highlights: Lightweight efficiency and edge finishing tools
Among RUBI’s featured tools was the TC-125 G2, a rail saw celebrated for its lightweight, portable design. Despite its compact size, the TC-125 G2 is fully capable of cutting and mitring both porcelain and natural stone tiles effortlessly.
For landscapers looking to perfect tile profiles and edges, RUBI showcased two different products: the Pro Edger and Bullnose Grinder Attachments. The Pro Edger offers a beginner-friendly solution, allowing those with little experience achieve greater control. For seasoned professionals, the bullnose grinder attachments provide flexibility to create more intricate and customised finishes.
Hands-on demonstrations and future engagements
GroundsFest 2024 was an exceptional platform for RUBI to present their products, offering hands-on demonstrations that allowed visitors to experience the tools firsthand. This interactive approach enabled attendees to identify the tools that best suited their needs.
Looking ahead, RUBI is already gearing up for GroundsFest 2025. Be sure to visit their stand next year to discover their latest innovations and take advantage of live demonstrations that can elevate your landscaping projects.
