|  TX 700 N or Sigma | |
It seems that sigma and Rubi are split down the middle with most of you choosing one or the other. But but which would be the sigma to match a TX-700-N & is the 700 not a good cutter for small ceramics.
like to here your opinions

Same aluminium construction with sprung steel floating bed. Double adjustment for tile thickness, cutting length 75 cm. Usually despatched within 1 - 3 working days I wouls say that this is the equivelant sigma cutter around £260........Personally I'm a Rubi boy but can't comment on the Sigma..never used one,it is all a personal thing...Gaz..
This for the same money is far better....case and bits supplied...Gaz

Or even this....................................£215 cuts 63cm tiles or 44 on diagonal, repetative cuts .
Montolit Masterpiuma 63.
And now Montolit have now introduced a wheel for cutting porcelain, though my standard wheel seems to do a fine job as it is. Maybe it would wear slightly quicker than the new wheel.
