No, max handles start at 8mm, the 2g has a 6mm rail.
Personally I don't like the 2g, I find it too unstable.
For small tiles you normally don't need huge breaking force and hence if 350mm is long enough then imo the best machine is an Art 6.
If you want to go to 450mm or so then go for a 3g, it has an 8mm rail/bar, is 45mm longer than a 3g3m, but you can if you wish put a max handle on it also, although if you need a max handle for a tile that size then you'd be better off with a machine in the 600mm range as it will deal with the toughness with much more ease.
Once again same.I would look at something bigger than a 2G to replace a TS40. I find the 2G great for metros and other small format stuff, but not much else
I bought a 7F for 80 quid to replace my ts40 it's not as fancy as the ones mentioned but it's a cracking little cutter for the money and it fits nice on a kitchen worktopSo basically I'm looking at an art 6 or a 3g3m or a 3G
Either of which will take a max handle, correct ?
is the life, probably, me and geoff, the think the same wayMamma Mia!
Can I get a piece of advice aswell? Bought a new tungsten blade for my sigma then saw another one but more expensive as it was titanium, but when I use that one it seems softer and more prone to not get a clean break and cut? Both sigma originals, don't know if it is just that one or should just stick to tungsten ones?No, max handles start at 8mm, the 2g has a 6mm rail.

The titanium are more expensive as they are a better wheel, are more durable and last longer, what Sigma have you got as different machines take different wheels?Can I get a piece of advice aswell?
