They do not do a TR700.... They do a TR700s so maybe you got the right cutter..A TX700


you got that cheap, i had a quick look, it's selling for around 300. shame it's a rubi![]()


were all the sigmas out of stock.......did you have to make do..

Oh come on guys, Rubi bashing. The way I heard it in sunday school. God spent six days creating cutting machines, all Rubi, on the seventh day he rested, and look what happened![]()

Thank you Stewart, for the kind words. But I will never be a legend, I used to think I was an expert, until someone explained that an ex is a has been, and a spurt is a drip, under pressure![]()

I've just been caught looking at a sigma on ebay, I'm not allowed on the computer for a week now! Should have known not to look at naughty things![]()
Phil Hobson (25-08-2011)

Sigmas are for ladys, it takes a real Tiler to be able to use a rubi correctly

Lol I tried a sigma, to difficult to use, and the cuts on the rubi are so easy, like a hot knife through butter


i've had enough of lugging my big sigma around so i thought today, time for a change, so i got on the phone and ordered.......
......a smaller sigmaa sigma 6 from diatech

I love the fact that Sigma user's feel the need to shout about their cutter's an try and belittle everyone else all the time, no matter what the thread..... Sounds like an inferiority complex to me....(;0)

the reason rubi users don't use a sigma is because they can't get used to the cutting design. the reason we sigma users don't use rubi's is cos they're crap![]()
I have a £79 Big Breaker which is fine for my uses but I'm wishing I'd seen if first before buying it, as I simply don't need such a huge heavy machine. Most of my customers only buy 'normal' size tiles anyway.
