    Actually I have my daughter with me who is six years old, I can hear her sleeping in her room right now. I never ever drink when my children are here because I only see them 4 days a month. I pm'd you Dave in the hope that this could be kept civil, please bear that in mind.

    is that the same case that sigma have recently started copying, i mean making.
    they do alot of copying do sigma???

    the wrist of the sigma user is more likely to break quicker than any part of a rubi...all that banging the handle on the sigma to breAK a tile isnt good for you.. heee

    as i have said b4 one of my sigmas is over 20yrs old and still going strong, no need to keep 'updating' it as it dose all i need it to do, cut hard pocs, cermics, glass, ect no probs.

    from what i seem to here about the rubis is you tend to have to keep 'updating' them to keep up with the changeing tile trends, and who has a 20yr old rubi that hasn't fell to bits, that can cut large format rock hard porcs?...........hang on i might find one in a skip somewhere..

    As a right tool I can tell u I can cut riven porcelain down to 10mm on my Rubi TX (when I get chance to trash a few more of someone elses porcelain tiles I will try for 5mm). My Sigma wielding co-workers tell me how much better their Sigma's are.... never accepted the narrow cut challenge though......

    Might get interesting this week though!
