Bri sigma's are like crack cocain (think it's something in the paint) once you touch it, you become infected.... Next thing you know, you're selling your daughters christmas presents and the wife's anniversary gift just buy a klik-Klock freekin handle.... Don't do it Bri, Don't do it!

Of course.. the above opinion is just one of a sane normal tiler that realises sigma suckrrr:rrr: ..... and yes, I have tried them!

to save any wasted money i'd suggest borrowing one (if possible) bri for a few days and give it a good go till you get used to it or till you're ready to smash it up :mad2:. i couldn't get round the pull cut at first but after a day or so i got used to it. i've only used the sigma in the last 2 years and now when i see someone push cutting it looks strange.

Well the way things are going in the tiling game there are two options,
With tiles getting bigger and harder (have heard a few times that Rubi struggles with some porc) unless Rubi lift there game and produce a cutter to handle the change .
you either move to a cutter that will cope with change or stay in the dark ages and just keep winging

My sigmas are going strong, all 3 of them.
My biggest dry cutter though is a 93cm and I'm going to look at a big job tomorrow with 1000 x 500mm porcelains !!
Could be time for a new cutter, lol.
Iv been cutting hard porcelains from yesterday on the 45 with no probs with my sigma 3B.

What was the outcome of this? Did you ever try a Sigma?

Here it is all Sigma, no one sells Rubi. I have used Sigma extensively and when you don't know something better exists, they are fine. Then I discovered Rubi in the U.K. and that's what I use now. I think Rubi designs are far superior to Sigma, but their manufacturing quality is not always that great. Of the two, it's Rubi all the way. If you want to try a Sigma, go to my local council tip, there are three there that I threw out before Christmas :lol:
