big clinkers

[Mike]

topps have now got 2 new big clinkers for sale, a 750mm for £200 inc. vat and a 900mm for £300 inc. vat. they still have the 600mm version too for £87 inc. vat. the 600 sounds okay for the money but i think if i was after a 750 or 900 i'd pay the extra for a sigma

Worth noting. Some people bang on about 'em.

Another debate, excellent :lol: I'll start then. I'd rather get a tx700 or tx 900 coz they're better than sigma :lol:

The build quality is quite poor though, great cutters but have a very short lifespan.

for 2 or 300 quid i'd want it to last a while

Is the 600mm bang on 600mm or slightly over?

 

[Ian]

I agree Mike, my 600 barely lasted a year before it went all wobbly! Sits in the garage now, all I need is an apprentice to give it to to practice on.

I have a big clinker. Actually prefer it to the rubis I've used (now need to wait for the flak).

Not worth the money

 

[swanman]

Sorry thats only my opion

 

[Ian]

I think a few share your opinion. £80 for the 600 is decent value, no way I'd be parting with £200/300 for bigger ones if the build quality has not been improved.

Anyone would be better with even a second hand sigma than a clinker or rubi as the build quality is so far ahead. :smilewinkgrin:

Just had a look at the big clinker 900mm (Topps website) its a single rail cutter and they've given it a 2 year guarantee. Not brave enough to give it the 5 years! Still wouldn't buy one.

I wouldn't go above the 600 but even at that it does the job. Will likely get a sigma once it's kaput
