Come on all let me have your verdict. As I have both a Sigma 50cm pull cutter (cant remember the model ART ***?) and a Rubi TS 40 and TX900 the sigma gives the best cut, but the rubi TX900 has better and easier breaking system.
Any Thoughts?

I generally prefer Sigma to Rubi, but I always prefer Montolit to Sigma. Havn't had a chance to try the Tx900 yet, but I'd pick the TX over any Sigma for really large tiles because of the breaker. I'd probably pick the Montolit 93P2 over the Rubi TX900 though.

My current main cutter is a Montolit 63P2 btw. My old main was a Sigma 5-S.

RUBI have just launched a cutter which is far better than the Sigma. It is called a TI-T, and is available in 66cm and 75cm. It is used the same way as a Sigma but has more features like quick change scoring wheels, Height adjuster and quick lock measuring device. The cutter has 1000kg of breaking power and is cheaper than a sigma

Most of the Sigmas have the height adjustment feature, and the quick lock measuring device, though I have to admit the TI-T looks really neat.

The Ti-T has atleast one feature I'd like to see on my push Montolit:

The measuring device on the TI-T is usable on both the left and the right side of the scale it seems, and that's awesome compared to just the right side

Would you guys favour the Rubi Ti series over the TX or TR series then?

read some of the post regarding cutting machines, has any one tried the nuova superpro750 this by far the best cutting machine for large format porcelain.i have used all the cutting machines around and this is the best i have found for porcelain the tx 900 is a good machine but dont bother wth the tx1200n the cutting bed is too long and the bars bend when breaking pressure is applied and since most tiles that are over 80cm long are 12mm + they dont snap on the rubi
