A dilemma has reared its head and im stuck with which to go for.

I had my heart set on a Sigma as my dad used them and i got on well with them. However after talking to Diatech today and getting the price on the 3DK (which incidentally they say doesnt exist?) I ended up with a price for the 3D which is a slightly longer cutter and probably too long for my needs.

I looked at tradetiler to see what the score is with the monolit and i know Dave likes his one. They also to a 750 which would suit my needs more.

Any advice welcome although on reading back its almost as if i have just made a valid point for the montolit

if i could learn to like single rail cutters again, then my 3 would be...

sigma 6
montolit 75p
sigma 3ek

if money wasnt an issue

sigma 6
montolit 63p with the new short measuring bar
montolit 93p
sigma 3ek

i dont mind pull cutters upto about 50cm but after that, i prefer to push, just feels more natural to me...that sigma 3ek is a fantastic cutter!! and for the price its very good value!

Thanks Ed

I now see that Sigma have a 750 as well but it seems more expenive than the montolit. I was ready with card in hand to order the 3dk today but whent hey said it didnt exist it made me rethink.

isnt the sigma 75 model called the 3c?

Yes, i cant see much difference between the 3D and the 3DK except the K range with the click clock handle cut slightly shorter. They are a lot cheaper though

3 d3dk

sigma all the way thats all i have used in the 8 years of doing tiling not sure about the other montolit

Gizzy am confused m8, I read a quote saying you served your time with Tofflo, but you have only been Tiling 8 years?

Served my time with a lot of ex Tofflo men, great fixers & Terrazzo men

I've been a Rubi fan for years, but bought a 750 Montolit from Tradetiler, and its a fantastic piece of kit, cuts big thick porcelain really well, i can only advise on what i have, I've not used Sigmas for years, bugt i do hear the Rubi Tx's are really good too.

Am i the only person using a kaufmann topline? ive used all cutters through out my time this is by far the best.

mmm........ intresting need to try that one Russell, pretty much in love with my Tomecanic Supercoup just know.

I had a go with a Tomecanic last week and have to agree it is a top cutter. I don't need any more cutters so I'll have to find something else to spend my cash on!

gall.b no my uncle served his time with them and i served my time tiling way him toffolo boys are in town best tilers ever the real terrazzo men
