[Blunt Tool]

Ray came up to Aberdeen to see me, he said my Sigma was the smoothest he had ever pushed and gave me the trophy some guy down in London had.

Haha informative you see I do listen to you!

In actual fact, Lee MAC was the person who first posted that to my knowledge, well it could have just as easily been Antonio who was first, they’re the two sigma aficionados.
I just stole it from one of them.

A few I've learnt:

Always check the hole which the measure bar sits in for debris.
If you tighten the bar with tile fragments in the hole, it can sit wonky and mess up your cuts.

Set the correct height for each tile thickness by setting the breaker foot flat on the tile face - at the top and bottom of the tile.

Don't score more than once - I've never had to.

Don't score too hard.

You get a better break if after scoring, you nudge the tile a couple of mm away from the measure bar and set the breaker foot 10mm from the tile edge.

If you leave your cutter on the floor with muppets around, they will kick the measure bar and you won't realise until you've cut all your spare tiles with a raked cut!

What are the advantages of the klick klock. Can you see the scoring wheel easier? It’s not particularly easy to see on the Max Handle

No, not really. You don't need to see the scoring wheel - trust the measure bar!

If you have the 1200 or bigger, drop thebar off to carry it, it’s so much bloody easier and lighter.
The bar weighs as much if not more than the base.

I have been. I’ve done every cut so far in one bathroom like this and am really impressed with the cutter, However there are instances where I need to follow a pencil mark so like to see the scoring wheel
