Got a Re-map of the van coming up.. just bought a cheap B&Q mixer.. got to try the cheap stuff!
GOT to go get a TX700n plus... got to!
If you're doing big floors DP, or even tanking your pools it's amazing.
I pour in the measured amount of water (takes a coupla mixes to get just right), wang in the adhesive, wander off and tile, tea break etc, come back and it's mixed perfectly.
It's different as the motor is underneath and it spins the bucket,so it's really stable and doesn't through adhesive about.
Where you based andy I've seen your van around. Sure I've seen it at tiles uk.
Droylsden I've been there a few times...!
... It does work well for the advertising though!!
i bet it will be expensive .....though
They are usually about £800ish, yep quite a lot of dosh. I phoned up Trimline and they were cutting stock so i payed about £350 i think, i had tons of floors on at the time so it paid for itself in no time. Mixes two 20kg bags in on go.
I was looking at the nilfisk ones as well!!
But I liked the 3 year warranty from Bosch
the way I see it is, if your going to get a sigma then get the tried and tested handle (pull) rather than the 3M or 3E. The traditional hull handle is designed for speed and that's really one of the beneficial advantages of the cutter. I do have the push handle on my 3EM, this is better for textured tiles. Switching from rubi, it will take you a few days to really get used to using the sigma.
Best thing I've ever done ishi. I'm all sigma,d out now..
My first work van - Morris 1000 - had to hit the starting motor with a hammer to get it working!

the ipertina is a floor buffing/polishing machine as is the kleever cp 400 i have a large stone job in the pipe line with around 600m2 of marble flooring where the customer wants seamless jointing so i am looking into buying the equipment for this job, the belle concrete mixer is for a large patio tiling job which is 135m2 sand and cement tiling i amd being asked to do loads of balcony roof terraces and monolithic fixing so the mixer will come in very handy
