Let's debate , Rubi or Sigma. - Tile Advice

The rubi box will weigh more than the sigma :lol:

For £50 I will take it his hands!. It will probably be the 3D model. Not sure if our cutters will fit in a Rubi box though?:lol:

My thoughts exactly. I haven't even tried a Sigma yet, but for that money i'll buy it and, if i find i can't gete on with it, sell it for double that!

I would say look at the 3DM (MAX) or 3DK (Klick Klock). The MAX is easy to use score forwards lift the handle and brake the tile. The klick klock is score forwards then the whole handle flips over/forwards to break the tile. I think the Klick klock is better for large foramt tiles and comes with a 14mm wheel. The MAX has a 16mm wheel set around bearings and this is the only wheel that will fit this handle. Loads of quality features on these cutters and they last a long time. Don't forget though you can always swop handles over until you find the one that works best for you. Plus everything is replaceable right down to the tape on the measuring guide bar.

Should I go for the 1200, are they just as good at cutting 700s and 900s ?

The rubi tx 1200 looks like an aircraft carrier where as the sigma 3E looks like the angel of the north!

TX weighs about as much as an aircraft carrier too.:lol:

 

[cam_low]

agreed !!!!

It takes real men to operate an aircraft carrier.:lol::smilewinkgrin:

i personally would go for the 1250 sigma the 3ek cutter. it only weighs a few pound more than the 900 cutter and covers all your options down to your 600mm cutter. about £499 if you shop around
