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

    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 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.
