Which one did you purchase local?
Good find Kyle , including delivery about £33 cheaper than Tradetiler but I think with Tradetiler being 6 miles away from where I live I'll pay that little bit more, make sure nothing is missing and its in good working order ( test before I buy )......crikey!....finally a decision has been made at last......you happy now Marc :laughing::thumbsup:

Mark go for the 3E3M, the extra 25cm or so is well worth it, as you said a lot of your tiles are 1200mm and this will cut them. A 3P3M only copes with metre long tiles
Hi Lee, The tiles are actually 1000mm so I'll be okay with the 3p3m as this cuts up to 1005mm.....are you on the sigma train yourself lee ?

Yes mate I've 9 dry cutters, 3 of which are 3B4's for when we're on large floors with 60x60's which helps when tiling multiple areas at once or for doing stairs and each machine is set for different sizes. For all the difference in price and size I'd advise you go for the 3E3M, it's so much more versitile, especially if you consider the likes of Porcelthin being 1200mm

Day 2 of the sigma, I'm into it now, it's a lot better than the Rubi, one think I really like is the measuring bar, I can measure cuts and cut them accurately without marking the tile, just using the measuring bar, winner
