    i have been really impressed with sigma...i have a confession. i sold my ts60 plus today for £180!!!! to my joiner .....i will be buying a sigma 3c to cover most of the flooring jobs i'll get. i took joe hillheads advice on the size but it was dom who turned me to the dark side

    seriously, the tx is a great cutter but its needlessly way tooooo heavy.
