Simply which is best for porcelain Sigma Montolit or Rubi?

My choice is Sigma, i'v never cut porcelain with anything else.

I have a rubi TX and a sigma, both are good cutters

Monti for me.

I use a big clinker for porcs, I have a tx1200 and its brill. Will get a tx700 when the work picks up a bit more.

Done 1000's of metres of porcelain with my TX 700 and 1200.......

I have Montolit and TX Rubi no problems with either.

I use Rubi, must say though, after watching the Sigma's in action over the last few weeks, I'm impressed, it's just the action differences that might take some getting used to, a nice sturdy bit of kit though.

You need to find a friendly tool trader who will let you try them out, or visit one of the manufacturers trade days - Rubi are holding these at CTD stores around the UK throughout the year. Trust me - it depends on the individual - I prefer the Rubi TX700 and found the Montolit difficult to get consistent good results with - but other tilers prefer the Montolit. Never tried the Sigma.

I have TX900N and a TS 30,40,50 and 60 The TS 60 is not good enough for pors the 900 is a bit big and heavey for 600 tiles thinking of talking to Dave at trade tiler about a Montolit the one to cut 600 is alot lighter than than Rubi.

i use the new Sigma 3CM and it is fantastic.
i have used the Montolit/Raimodi cutters (3 of em) also used a Rubi TX 700N but the Sigma blows them all away.
the New Sigma 3cm has 1200kg breaking power..nice clean cuts

We've had this discussion on TF before, I don't have a problem with the TS range and porc tiles, yes, you might get the odd tail, I find I can get over that by a heavy first 20mm score then score as normal and it cuts clean, each to their own though.

Is that the maxi which has a breaking system similar to the montolit.

my ts is in the garage collecting dust cos in won't cut porcelain. i just use my new sigma now. i guess the tx is okay due to the above feedback but dont bother with the ts as it won't cut 45's either

yes it has the new flip down breaker

Now thats a cutter
