ever so sorry but another cutter thread...new one required first in 4 years

[cam_low]

I know there is always threads on this but Im currently ready to spend a bit on a cutter that will cut up to 70cm.

I have a Monty 63 at the moment. It has served me very well however I seem to be very unlucky and every large tile job I get has 63cm tiles !!!

I like the action of a Monty, the Sigma look like the handle is reversed to a Monty ? How does that work.

Rubi vs Sigma is the consensus on here I see, however, Im open to options and links to other makes.

Thanks peeps.

Rubi TX700 I'd be going for.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Me too Dan, every time.

 

[cam_low]

tx 700 or 700n?

 

[doug boardley]

me too, the tx700 instead of the txn, I don't like the long bar on the txn

 

[Ian]

Yup, tx 700 for me. Best cutter I've bought.

Yeah, exactly that. I'm watching that one as well! Always like to see what price they go for.

 

[cam_low]

advisable to get the 900 instead or is the 700 superior ?

 

[Sigma UK]

I would say the Sigma 3CM 72cm. 1200kg multipoint breaker with a scoring wheel set on bearings for textured tiles. Cuts up to 20mm Porcelain and evrything in between. Cost price is also lower than a Rubi i think. This thing you last you a lifetime.

I've never felt the need to get a tx900,,,,but then I have a tx700 and a tx1200:lol:

Cheers pompey for the heads up on the sigma. How does it work, the handle is reversed compared to my monty ?!!!

I've never used a 900, I would imagine they perform the same, just the 900 can take bigger tiles and do 600mm tiles diagonally.

Hello cam. they do three types of handle. Standard (score backwards) MAX & Klick Klock (score forwards or backwards your choice). M at the end of the model means MAX and then K for Klick klock. you can't go wrong with them pal.

 

[cam_low]

I think I am too used to scoring forwards to slaver on with owt else ! Whats this Klick Klock Krak ?

Rubi sounding good so so far... !!!

 

[Sigma UK]

buy a rubi then

Can I ask, what is a "Monty" cutter? Do you mean Montolit? If you've worked with them for years and they're good, why not buy another one, but bigger? TradeTiler do a 75P2 for 250 squid, or a 93 for 299. I say stick with what you know is tried and trusted. Maybe they're better than Rubi or Sigma?
