    Hi mate i also have the genisis cutter but when i was working on site last year the tiler i was working with bought a Sigma, really good cutters, takes a bit getting used to though as you know with the Genisis you push and snap with the Sigma you have to pull and snap. Cheers

    Doug, Holy smokes whats the large one the TX 1200N?? What do you make of it? I use the TR 600 and love it (well nearly) but its getting too small for alot of jobs now

    Im being asked more and more to fix tiles 900 or 1m and they are a pain in the wet cutter, especially porcelian. I see Dave at TT has the 1200 for £535, its a faie wedge more than the 900.

    that's the beast Davey, as yourself, getting asked to fix flags to walls more and more these days so had to put the order in with Dave @TT.Once you get over the weight of the thing and get it set up and cutting it's a dream compared to wet cutting or angle grinding!
