I have finally given in......or have I been worn down?

[Protilers]

What do you think of the weight Lee as it's a 128cm machine?.

its good......wheels would help................ALOT.......

and a case to strap it into the van.......no, really, that is genius...............I am surprised Sigma have not thought of that already......well, you have.....,,,,,but for smaller stuff.......
I would pay extra for things that are common...like a case.........or a wheel...or and arm?

over the cost of the cutter........this might add £20..........and I for one would be happy to pay!.........cutting them out, to be "slightly" more inexpensive is a fools errand!.......

get it in...charge more...........and be the best!

What rubis you got stef?

TS60, TS40, TR400 & a Tomecanic Supercoup 75 all for sale!!
All in great condition, Tomecanic has laid about 200m of tiles & is a beast for porcelain but chips glazed ceramics.

Still good cutters but have to be honest not a patch on the sigmas!!

Buying a 2G next couple of weeks & then it's onto a 3EM Max.

I can understand the thing with cases and how they can help for sure. The thing is though cases do not coast an exta £20 on the price more like 60-80 on the smaller cutters and it would be well over £120 for 128cm cutters. Not to mention the tooling you would need to produce cases for cutters 50cm up to 151cm. It would run in to the millions to produce them. Try and find out the cost of a replacement case to fit a 128cm cutter for any machine. I'm sure you will agree it's loads of money.

I'm looking how to fit my sigmas into the back of the van?

Something like brackets & stand them on their ends to take up less space.

This is my only gripe with the cutters, can't store them neatly.

Any one got any ideas/pictures?

if the cost is "BUILT IN".......it wont be that much extra..........sigma have backed the machine........and rightly so.......but a bit of "suctioned formed" plastic ...........dont cost £120.........
especially if sigma mass produce them.........AS THEY SHOULD AS ITS A PRE REQUSITE!....IMO......

 

[Protilers]

all this aside.......If i could go to ebay now.....and buy a case........for my brand new investment.....I WOULD.......even if it was £120..........I would not be happy........
because........sigma could have done that for me....................and it would have cost me sub £600............inc vat.... ALL IN.......case.....wheels.....arms N'ALL!

What do you need cases for? They fit on a shelf in the van neatly and can be carried by the bar, or over the shoulder with the handle hooked over so that you have two hands free for carrying other tools.

They are used to protecting their delicate Rubis . that's why :lol: .. not used to a strong robust cutter like a Sigma..

I have been told by a few now that hooking them over the shoulder is the way to get them around.

I just found out today how to store the measure bar on my 3bm!!

 

[On one]

Still have trouble sorting mine......feels like it's the Krypton Factor sometimes

Yep, the paddys came up with that one. As an apprentice I often had to walk through a building site with a sigma on each shoulder, toolbox in one hand and 3 buckets in the other. :lol:
