new member disco - whats your prefered choice

[disco]

Hi joined so I could read up on types of manual cutters because Im fed up buying rubbish from the sheds. Here are my choices.

1. Sigma Diagonale 3b 63
2. RUBI TI 66S
3. MONTOLIT MASTERPIUMER 63

If you read this please reply with your preffered choice 1, 2 or 3 and if you feel like it your reasons why.

One thing which strikes me about all three is that none of them allow me to see the scoring wheel which is one feature of the old rubi ts that I liked. (but it doesnt do porcelain very well imho)

Hello and welcome.......

Has to be neither for me..

I prefer the Rubi tx700n..you can see the scoring wheel and breaks anything thrown at it. Apart from the obvious wetcut stuff.

:welcome:to the forum,

quite like the sigma but i am using the big clinker at the moment as i haven't bothered ordering a new wheel and pin(somehow snapped it????)

My Rubi TR-600-S serves me well.

Hi, was going to buy the masterpiumer 63 but didn't like not being able to see the scoring wheel so opted for the rubi tr 600 s, plus you get a carry case with it, all for £192, bargain.

welcome to the forum, Disco. haven't tried any of the above. Like Dave I carry the tx700n for big porcelain

 

[White Room]

Tx700n for the larger porcelain, again have'nt tried the ones you suggest

 

[grumpygrouter]

Masterpiuma for me. Not seeing the scoring wheel isn't really a problem once you get used to how the cutter works. Couldn't be without mine now!!

 

[jay]

hi sigma always and you can see the wheel easy :8:

 

[Gazzer]

The Sigma every time, no problem seeing the wheel.
Had mine since 2001 and still going strong and only on the 4th wheel.

Thanks guys for all the feedback, Ive used the tx700 but not the n version great cutter but its so big? I wanted something a little smaller (600). There is nowhere near me to go and see the sigma (or the montolit for that matter) I live in Oxfordshire so I might have to take a trip upto the shop that advertises on here (sorry forgotten the name and I will alos look into the tr 600 s. Thanks again.
