i was going to buy a sigma 3em next week with the idea of hiring it out to local north west tilers. (who are trusty worthy :thumbsup:
obviously, its not a tile cutter thats going to get used week in week out so it might aswell earn its keep

couple of questions
1. do you think that this is a good idea?
2. whats is a fair rate for renting? i was thinking £20 for the 1st day and £10 thereafter or £50 for the week
3. any things you would recommend to cover yourself ie deposit etc

any input welcome

great Idea Ed. I think £20 per day is cheap I would also want a decent deposit in case somone "forgets" to return it

I hired a 1250 for £20 a day or £70 for the week, £200 deposit, but it's from my local supplier, who know me well. It's a bit different hiring out maybe £6-700 worth of kit with a £200 deposit, to someone you don't know, cos it could be the last time you see it!

Wouldn't mind hiring it out to people I knew but wouldn't give it to strangers without a big deposit. Any tilers worth their salt need to be buying these big machines now as some day the 1200x600 will be as common as 600x300.

I wouldn't buy one just to hire out, but if you've got a job for it yourself first then i don't see why it wouldn't work. I wouldn't let it go without covering the cost of it wether that be cash or taking part cash/other cutters upto the value of yours. It's surprising how little in the way of tools and plant most builders own they all seem to hire stuff in nowadays.

A lot of the hire companies wont look at new products unless there is a big demand for them. I would often get asked what we had in a way of rufurb machines as there only going to get used and bashed anyway?. Most just stick to what they got and don't spend money.
