But having been brought up with sigma id like to have a look at the new models know they aint cheap tho!
Take a good look at their sigma 3C cutter,same length as yours but better angles lock in etc,i have the 3B which is ace,my main cutter.
if you see a water saw you want don't be afraid to ring them and offer about 44% of the list price because i know thats the sort of price drop they are shifting the dry cutters at,haggle cause you have the money remember,

Default Re: Sigma suppliers

can anyone give a rundown on what to buy ie:klick klock push or pull.
i want the 73cm and maybe there smallest for splashbacks.
how well do the wheels last should i get a few when buying the cutter.
should i bother with the small cutter as my ts30 20 odd years old does fine.
it seems to me to be the bigger tiles rubi cant cope with and the plus range is worse than the standard range.
ive just had enough of rubi,the plate on the tx just dont seem to cut it no more,no pun intended.

If the TS30 is doing the job theres no point replacing it. Its light and manageable.
The wheels on Sigmas last so long you will never moan about buying a new one. I have had my Sigma for 6 years and i am on the 3rd or 4th wheel. Mine gets used lots too.

The KlickKlock handle is great for harder tiles, you get more purchase with it, both in scoring and breaking.
It takes a bigger wheel than the standard pull handle too, 15mm IIRC.
The wheels don't seem to last as long as the pull handle ones, probably because you are, or can, put that bit more pressure on it.
But they still last longer than Rubi wheels, IMO.
Also if you are used to the push movement of the Rubi's, the KlickKlock will be easier to get used to for you.
