    Hi Corky , I use the sigma 2G for doing kitchen splash backs it is lite weight, portable, cuts clean and accurate with the added bonus of having the swivel measuring guide for any angled cuts you may require.
    You cant go wrong with a sigma , I have got the 3B also for bigger tiles love it. Hope that's of some help to you .

    Trade tiler have a TS30 for £111.00 which is all you need for splashbacks. To save even more cash take a look at Rubi star range, all available from Tradetiler.

    Bigandy thanks for the reply,seems as rubi is the main brand for you guys bit even if I wanted one the p+p is £35 to here so thats a no no.
    DHsanta ,its good to have a recommend from a user .Seriously there are so many cutters to chose from and its great to hear from someone that uses the 2g and the price is fairly ok to at e152
    Penno I think I had a look in tt and the is p+p is £35 to ireland So that kinda rules out the mail order option ,thanks for the reply.(I will have another look at tt just to be certain)

    I have the wee rubi pocket 40 and its perfect for the splashbacks, small, light, good quality and cheap £20 i think.
