Time for a tile cutter guide?

[Flintstone]

We seem to have an awful lot of posts about what's the best cutter, how about a 'go to' thread on this subject ?

What do you mean mate? Do you mean a buying guide or a definitive post on the matter?

 

[Flintstone]

Just something that people can read and take in some good info to help them make a decision what cutter is suitable for them to buy?

 

[Qwerty]

Sounds good. Any forum member is welcome to start such a thread.

It's too subjective an issue to produce a guide.
Reviews and personal recommendations are the only way.
Of course, having a go at trade events is the best way to have a test-ride.

My advice is this:
1) for newbies / diy and people used to Rubi cutters - if the tiles are less than 600mm - get Rubi.
2) for anything over 600mm I would only EVER consider Sigma.
3) after using a Sigma for anything over 600mm, sell your Rubi cutters and buy more Sigma cutters.
4) Enjoy!

It'll just mean more boring Rubi vs Sigma arguments.

It's more for the diy folk and new or inexperienced tilers that keep posting about cutters, Just some basic advice would do, on manual and wet cutters!

It would be good if there was a poll to actually see which was most popular
