Dry Tile Cutter

If you are looking at Sigma, don't ignore Montolit. Our man at tradetiler can help you with one. Very similar to sigma in many respects.

Got the 'Big Clinker' yesterday from Topps £69. Feels pretty good and no initial problems (after 2 hours...........)

Ideal, I was going to pop down there today and buy one, what sort of tiles have you used on it?

 

[aflemi]

Only ceramic wall and Wickes riven porcelain floor so far, no problems but, as I said, I only got it yesterday evening (DIY'er but planning to go full-time soon) Sure there are plenty others with more experience of it. What I've read, even on this thread has been positive and Topps being £25 cheaper than Screwfix can't be bad.

Hey, Ive just been to Topps and bought one and tried it on a few polished and matt porcelain tiles and it works a treat!

Thank you to everyone for there imput and advise!!

would the big clinker be suitable for 4 or 6 inch ceramic wall tiles.??

Im after my first tile cutter and this seems a nice price if its still round £70.

HI Golddigger, I havent tried it on smaller ceramic tiles yet, my only concern would be that it does have quite a big feel to it so you might find it a bit fidderly! Although it does cut larger ceramic tiles 31.6x45 and 30x30's a treat.

Good luck, cheers Mark.

I've got four different:hurray: Sigma :hurray:cutters, wouldn't go past them for ease of use and very little to go wrong. Shop around for best price as they do vary quite a bit.
