Sigma 2G 37cm - alternatives? - Tile Advice

[Tommcd]

Just before I hit buy, is this sigma decent or is there something else I should be looking at?

Already have a large format cutter but looking for something a bit more compact for kitchen splash backs etc.

Cheers

Yes Sigma are great cutters and that's a good price. Looked after, it should last you years and years. I'd buy it.

I have one and I think it's just fine for splashys.

Alot of guys use a small rubi TS or even a mini monti for small tiles. I have had both in the past and each had their pros and cons, but I'm sticking with the sigma now

3g3m is what I went for for my small cutter.

3g3m is what I went for for my small cutter.

This is why the sigma range confuses me. That cutter is twice the price but I can't tell the difference between the two?

Longer cutter with longer measuring bar, max handle. Thicker rail. The 2g is a basic model with a pull to score handle.

To be honest I would get a 3g3m but I rarely do anything much under 600 so I don't think it would pay me to do it .

IMO for metros etc the Art 6 is a better machine. It’s a bit heavier, has a wider base and is alot more stable.

I’m sure @Pro Tiler Tools would be able to sort you out with one.

Can't see the art line on the pro tiler tools website. I think it's between the 2g and the 3g3m... Question is whether I will make the most of the 3G to justify the extra cost over the 2g..?

I don't know what action the 2g is but if you are used to pushing a handle the 3g3m would be the way to go . I have Two max cutters and love them .

I have all of the machines mentioned above and for light work like metros the Art 6 is hands down my pick. The 3G3M is my choice for heavier 300 x 300 commercial floor tiling etc.

Morning Everyone,
We have both the 2G & the 3G3M in stock but if you wanted an Art 6 we could arrange that also, If there is anything i can help with please let me know but the guys above seem to have covered everything

Thanks
Sam

Thanks Sam, I ordered from you last night

Great service from pro tiler tools and 1 hour window delivery so haven’t had to stay in all day

. Went for the 2g which I know is a basic model but it’ll only be cutting light ceramic tiles, just wanted a super clean cut which hopefully it’ll provide. Feels like a solid piece of kit and fits easily on a kitchen worktop so I’m happy.
