a good workman neve blames his tools.
maybe its someones technique that is lacking.
That implies that there's no such thing as a bad tool, which I'm sure just about everyone here would agree is wrong.
Perhaps I should've been more specific: The Sigma 5 I've tried (tried doesn't really carry enough weight, since I used it for more than 6 months before managing to convince my boss to have it replaced) is the standard version, refered to as "5-standard" in their catalogue.
The 5b, which you refer to, is one step up the ladder if I'm not misstaken.
Anyways, my then collegues (five of them), who also had 5-s's, and I, all agreed on that the quality of the 5-standard was a bit uneven. Some were great, no matter who used it, except on porcellanato type tiles. Some of the 5-s's, mine included, were bad through and through, regardless of the user, on anything other than small to medium sized standard ceramics, and small clinker type tiles.
Look, I may have been a bit unspecific, but there's no need for insults. I wouldn't presume to know anything about you or the circumstances you live and work under, and I most certinly wouldn't assume, let alone suggest anything about someone's skill just because something which works for me doesn't for him.
It's simply not a very gentlemanly thing to do, especially not in a den of gentlemen and gentlewomen such as this... Wouldn't you agree?

Thanks for the quick replies guys.Jock at how2tile in grangemouth recommended them as he said he only ever uses floating bed dry cutters.I suppose it is a personal choice thing.I used the 330mm & 630mm cutters and both seemed good.As im just starting out would i be better going for the 630mm as for obvious reasons it will be bigger for floor tiles.The only downside i can see is lugging it around and when only cutting small ceramic wall tiles it looks a bit overkill.
