I have a rubi but did use a sigma 900 couple of years ago and it was quite an old on. I t took off a slither off a 660mm tile 10mm thick without even the tiniest of bevels ont eh cut. I looked into the sigmas before th rubi but was disappointed in the availablitly of them.

I dont think my ts50 plus is as good as the sigma and its showing signs of wear already and its only done around 2000mts!

If there are no rubber components then why no wd40..?

wd 40 ok for metal parts but it rots ruber and plastic, Silicon spray does'nt so its a better option Nuds mate

 

[Nuddy]

No rubber or plastic on my sigma so i'll stick with my wd40 for now,
cheers for advise anyway Alby..

Another reason Sigma one of best cutters very robust and site friendly, no plastic to wear or break..

I have just ordered a Little didli Monti from Dave at TT, who needs a NVQ in tiling i've got a Monti :smilewinkgrin:

i use the rubi. ti s 66. it takes some getting use to esspecially if u have used another cutter for a while.(dont be too hasty with the breaker bar.) but i find this a great tool for the job, cuts tiles up to 600mm. can cut tiles at different angles eg 45s good for diamond pattern.
i would get another smaller one as well as it is hard to use in smaller bathrooms/kitchens.

hope this helps
