New Rubi magnet cutter

[Flintstone]

I converted to sigma from rubi many months ago, honestly try it.

I've only ever used Rubi cutters mainly, few times used montolit. You just can't beat the two rails on a rubi for accuracy point to point so I'm also interested to hear from someone who's used the new Rubi tr magnet. Cheers

Sorry to start the old Rubi sigma debate, I was hoping there might be one more person than me that uses Rubi haha

I think there's a pointer in what you've said Adey. Get yourself a Sigma and you will not regret it, or stick with the Rubi and struggle on

Used Rubi exclusively for 20 years and bought a sigma around 6 months ago. When you get used to using it you'll know they are better machines.

Ok so what's sigma equivalent to a rubi ts60/66 plus?

There isn't they don't make one that bad .
But they do make a 3c3m just over 700 long correct me if I'm wrong @LEE MAC

This whole forum seems to buzz for sigma. I can't say much as I've never used one but I've used montolit, which was very good but poor for accuracy. Surely sigma will be the same for accuracy as a montolit

If you are going to be working with 600's regularly I'd recommend one of these
Sigma 3C3M MAX Professional Tile Cutter 72cm | Buy Sigma Series 3 MAX Tile Cutters Online from Pro Tiler Tools - http://www.protilertools.co.uk/sigma-series-3-max-tile-cutters/35125/sigma-3c3m-max-professional-tile-cutter-72cm
This machine will handle nearly anything you can throw at it within reason, the extra cutting length is really useful with raked cuts.
There is simply no comparison to it and any Rubi equivalent.
As for precision, well what can I say? Try one and see!
For the purist amongst us there are interchangeable handles to suit different preferences for various scenarios like speed of cuts etc.
I started with Rubi and thankfully was very quickly introduced to Sigma. I've never met anyone who has genuinely used both that doesn't prefer Sigma, it's a no contest imo!

As for Montolit I've never used one and won't bother wasting my time doing so because one of our most trusted advisers @antonio has in the past used them and critiqued them extensively and ended up throwing them in the sea lol and on his recommendation that's good enough for me!

Slowly getting convinced to converting to sigma

Your only here once Adey, trust us, you will not regret it

I think these multi million pound tile tool company's like sigma and Rubi souls allow people to try before you buy. I don't even know a shop that sells sigma let alone anyone who owns one I could test out

It's not the machine that's poor for accuracy u must of not lined the tile up correctly

You should get the Sigma Adey, I, like Harry, used Rubi for many years, would never go back.

I think I still have a TR600 propping up a storage box in my shed somewhere, and that's as much use as it will ever get now unless I give it away.
