Over-engineered and lots of spare parts available.
Why have 1 rail when you can have 4?
Also, CTD and Topps offer free servicing from Rubi at trade events.

When did you last see Sigma offer that?!

Exactly!

 

[Dumbo]

I've experienced using both and in my opinion the sigma is better

Never seen sigma offer that, but unlike Rubi, the sigma doesn’t go wrong.

In fact Sigma U.K. has boxes and boxes of spare cutting wheels, because not even they need changing.

Sigma good if you learnt on a sigma ,but hard if you used rubis ,lets not argue. Lads

I learnt and worked with Rubis for 25 years, not a problem till tiles moved on getting bigger 600mm and harder (porcelain) and thicker 12mm. You know yourself trying to cut tiles like that thru a TS or TX and try to separate with their system leaves the old broken last piece at the top off line! Even Rubi knew they had to up their game with the TZ. Sigma is the most constant reliable cutter for said tiles to leave a near perfect cut even going down past 20mm sliver, and that is why it is a no brainer that I replaced with Sigma, and saved my customers a few boxes of tiles!

 

[Waluigi]

Gotta agree with that.

Rubi are the Nokia of the tiling world. Had the market in the palm of their hands but didn’t adapt when the market changed.

I quite like the look of the TZ but they’ve priced themselves out of the market a bit IMO.

Yes I agree, the TZ does look well made and designed but haven’t actually seen it in real life action doing what I do everyday with my Sigma and I don’t really know any tilers rich enough to have one

 

[Waluigi]

Yeah, expensive shot in the dark. I’d like to have a little play.

 

[Dumbo]

Ive had a little play at ctd then went into the trade counter and tried a tz. It may be good but their is too much up and down with the handle . I think it would tire me out

 

[Waluigi]

I’ve always been pretty good at up and down

I've got one

 

[Blunt Tool]

Ok now I know one rich tiler.

[Blunt Tool]

And is it as good as it looks Albert with the porcelain tiles?

Great machine I've got the 1300 and yes it takes a bit of getting
used to the up and down bit but it has cut everything i have thrown
at it with ease

 

[Blunt Tool]

I still have my Tx1200 as I’m still contemplating between the sigma machine or a flash line type which would be easier to carry and transport and gives me future options in case I trip over a 3 metre tile
