hi again guys thinking of getting one of these but which one model is greater than the other many thanks flag

I have a TXn but wish I'd gone for the standard TX, the n has a longer measuring bar witch can be a pain when in confined areas..

Tx, I never use the measuring bar and they do get in the way, especially on the 1200

tx700 for me, forget the 'N' version

many thanks for ur replies lads think i know which 1 now

get a sigma

whys that are they better than the rubi

it's an old debate on here. i've used rubi's but after having a sigma i wouldn't go back

never seen a sigma in the shops m8 where did u get urs from

diatech scotland. i have the 3b version (cuts 600's) and the smaller sigma 7. i think the larger one was about 260 quid recently

Remember some of the sigmas can be a pull cutter, some are push type, if you use a rubi the push type would suit you better..

the rubi's are easier to use but once you get used to the sigma's they're better i.m.o.

That debate again!!

Old debate again, dont get me started!!
i guess it depends on whether you're a pusher or a puller.
Which are you?

Deffo TX version , another sigma thread hijack.

One thing to be aware of with sigmas and montolits is they can crush ceramics.

Sigma users deny it but I have a montolit and it stays in the shed.

Use what you feel comfortable with, you will never go wrong with a TX.

not a hijack dave, i just gave the op another option. rubi aren't the only cutters on the market (thank god)

As can any other machine from time to time. As a tiler with only Sigmas I can assure you ( whether you believe or not ) I dont crush ceramics ! not even the really thin ones !


BUT this thread is about a Rubi TX or TX-N choice, so let it get back on track

i have a rubi ts 40 a smallish sigma and a 63 cm monolit
if i was using small ceramic tiles ts 40 is the man
smallish porcerlain sigma
large format monolit 63
we work now with such a lot of different sizes and materials one cutter aint enuff
worked with sir ramic today and watched him crush some cheap bumpy white (not)
