    I'm intrigued, I'm doing a big job in June with 5 other fixers, I hope one of them has a sigma I can try, (preferrably push and not pull, I don't like the idea of pulling towards my bits!)

    I tried the push version Doug and prefer the pull type, they are so fast and break anything, if you were nearer to me I would lend you one of mine, then you would join the enlightened few.

    The enlightened few are growing all the time.

    Would never slam the handle when breaking tough porcelain myself, a steady firm push does the trick. Was cutting 450x450x12 marble (concealed by skirting) on my 5B a few weeks ago without much incident.

    I wonder if Sigma would put on a few demo days in England.
