The Great Sigma Tile Cutter Survey!!! - Tile Advice

[andy-p]

i have had montolit mate so i know what id be getting if i used a sigma. as i have said, i know they are a good cutter but i prefer rubi's visibility. if i am going to be honest, my favorite rubi is the ts60plus, thats the only cutter i am going to keep. the tile cutter only does so much of the work

You gotta be kidding , the montolit is a king next to the Ts+ , i know cos ive owned both, i got rid of my ts70+ last year as it struggled to cut large format porcelain , i remember fitting 60m2 of 600 x 300 porcs on a floor and the only way to break the tile cleanly with the rubi was to score and then remove it and bang the tile on the upturned handle , as for visibility on the monty it couldnt be any easier simply line your marks on the breaking blade , if you prefer rubi you would be better off with the tx series with its moveable breaker...

Just to add!...i eventually got the 3a ..plus case!...2 be honest...it really doesnt need a case but hey:incazzato:cost only £50 from dal tech...Ive never used a sigma b4 and all i have to say is...wow!! what an amazing machine....very robust...no thrills..very practical and efficently basic...as i said no bells n whistles...nothing gimmicky at all...THE CUTTING!!....utterly perfect for me...and its only been a few days using it...imo...and ive used rubi..this is far superior for me...if i do buy a rubi to add to the arsenal it will likely be the ti-66-s ..but as for pull cutters it will always be a sigma..hope this helps..because i debated for ages and i dont regret buying the 3a at all:smilewinkgrin:

oh ive had enough of this thread ..lol

c,mon dave, lets buy a sigma mate. you go first and i'll follow..we could do it on the grounds of 'experimental impartiality'...

i was born in 1969 and sigma started in 1969, so its all fate :lol:

I used one of these to cut 660 porcelanosa tiles and it was nothing short of awesome! Took 10mm off clean and square.

Have you seen the size of it though? Its HUGE!

i have only seen them on the net. Can't find them for less than £1715, so it's just ouf my range

A Montolit is a bit like an MR2 with a Ferrari 355 bodykit. Looks similar but completely superior underneath. :lol:

Bump

Don't mind me while I bump a few old threads. They might not be current for you, if they're not, just ignore them, and they'll soon drop off the forum list.
