wonder if i can get mags on it mmmmmmmm
right leave you to it

 

[Aston]

Possible, i think Ed tried one too but possibly a bit too pro for a plasterer........:smilewinkgrin:

nah mate, bit too slow for a plasterer ;0)

i'll leave the sigmas for the lads that rely on the tile cutter to do everything??

And what on earth have you been using super glue for today ED

 

[Aston]

ive been using super glue to 'stick back together' the damaged reputation of all the sigma users on here ;0)

you'll never beat the rubi crew!!!

 

[jay]

sounds a bit kinky to me

 

[Andy Allen]

why do you get a suitcase with your new rubi cutter?




















when the cutter brakes you got sommit to take on holiday...:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Aston]

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

 

[Andy Allen]

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..:lol::lol:

 

[Mike]

my rubi lasted ages..........only because i didn't use it as it was rubbish. i seen the light and sold it and put the money towards a sigma. i felt guilty selling it :lol::lol::lol:

 

[doug boardley]

tbh, any rubi less than a TX is pants on hard porcs, but had my existing TX for over 10 years now and never struggled on owt.

 

[Mike]

mine was the ts60. that put me off enough not to buy a rubi again. the only good thing about it was it had a case, there again the sigma is so tough it don't need one:lol:

 

[doug boardley]

if you get a chance to try a TX then Mike, you might change your mind

 

[hillhead]

I reversed over my sigma 3B yesterday... oops.
That was my first flat tyre in 4 years......:8:

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

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...... rrr:

Might get interesting this week though!
