Hello From Sigma UK

[Sigma UK]

Hello All,

Just wanted say that I am here should you need any info on our tools. I have looked around a bit and left a few messages "Incognito" but Dave has invited me along to join the forum. There are many top tilers on this site so I look forward to talking with you all.

Really good to have you on board Derek mate... enjoy the banter

 

[Gazzer]

As a big Sigma user can I say its about time.
Without a doubt Sigma have started to become a lot more popular over the last 5 years.
Bought my 1st one in Melbourne Australia 2001 and still going strong.
Just acquired a 3DM Max.

 

[Sigma UK]

That's something. 2001 and still doing the job. The MAX range is also a quality cutter and it should last you a good while. Nice coments Sir Ramic Thank you.

 

[Gazzer]

I also have 2 3Bs ( I think) and an old smaller one that was passed down from an old tiler...god knows how old that one is.

 

[Sigma UK]

It's good to see their still working after so many years. The oldest one I know of at the moment is 28 years old and still going strong. Thats a little 6 i think.

Hello Derek, I'm a Rubi collector, but will be willing to switch sides in exchange for a donated cutter, the 2D3 would be perfect for me to trial, it will have a loving home and I promise it won't get bullied by my TX's. Many thanks Bri.

Welcome to TF Derek

 

[Sigma UK]

Thank you Dan. I will try to answer any questions people have ASAP. Also Bri you can't be that much of a rubi user if you are willing to switch sides for our basic cutter?:lol: Maybe we could do something on the forum.

 

[Ian]

I thought all sigma cutters were amazing? You're not a very good salesman!

They are Bri but I would go for something a bit bigger say a 3CM-3DM

Glad to see someone from the Light Blue side has officially arrived. Just need to convert the rest of the Made In China brigade to start using proper cutting machines.

Oldest Sigma I know of is a 35/40cm with the fixed rule that is still used a couple of times a week, bought some time in the late 80s.

 

[Sigma UK]

Bought in the 80's!! and its still going. You see i hear from most people that when you get one it never really fails. You can also get all the parts for them and they cost next to nothing. put a bit of baby oil on the bar and away you go.

 

[DHTiling]

baby oil.... now why would a tiler carry that :lol:..

Sorry got it wrong , I have the Max, 2 5A, 5b and ths old one which must be older than 26 years as the old guy died about 12 year ago and had been retired a while.

 

[Sigma UK]

Is that a metal base or rubber? Sir Ramic. You can see its an old one for sure.

 

[Gazzer]

its metal. Yup the old boy who gave it me had it a while.

 

[Dontiler]

hello and welcome

 

[Sigma UK]

Cheers Oli and Cheers Don.

 

[Andy Allen]

trying to remember how long ive had my sigma, got be at least15 years maybe more.....got a smaller one to that cuts up to 370mm thats got to be as old to....lol, there definately built to last !!!!

all i need is a nice T-shirt to go with it :drool5: nudge. nudge..

 

[White Room]

Hi and welcome.....I'm impressed with my sigma, just a quick question i have a klick klock handle on mine and use it to push forward to the measuring bar but have seen many that are used pushing away from the bar, which one is correct or is just personal preference.

 

[Sigma UK]

Looks like its seen some work there Andy good man. PM you details and i will get a T in the post for you. I'm low on T's at the moment but I will get a load more from Italy.

 

[Sigma UK]

I would say its up to you really whitebeam. its only the blade that scores and its continuous. I have seen many tilers do it both ways each way works just as good. Also the Klick klock handle is top noch for large format tiles as you can break inwards on really tough stuff.

 

[Aston]

welcome along derek!!
can't speak highly enough of derek, top man and sigma really do look after you.

i even got a nice baseball cap with my 3c today, very impressed..
