Opening up the Rubi / Sigma debate again.........sorry!

[Stef]

The jury is still out, but I may have an option to borrow a Rubi 1200 now, though...

Might save you shelling out on a new cutter just now & give you a chance to get a play around with a max Sigma..
Honestly Daz I wouldn't go back to Rubi now, I think there are very good cutters but I can't be bothered really with the Rubi v Sigma debate thingy.
I think Sigma have the edge & are the better cutting machines.

I like what I have seen Stef. One of the things that is putting me off, and it is really petty, is that there is no protective carry case....

You can get cases for them but they are so robust you don't need them.

I prefer that there's no case for the cutter, it's easier for me the way I keep them stored in my van.
I was a bit dubious about this very same thing but they are built to last & don't need a case....

 

[Daz]

They don't make cases for any larger than the 600's.
I guess if I go with Sigma I'll have to clear the junk out of my van and organise better :yikes:

 

[Dougs Third Go]

did he get banned for this?

only a temp one, probs a bit hasty on my part, ban lifted my apologies Ash, and to you too Daz

 

[Dave]

Okay, I played with a Sigma 600 size cutter today and it certainly takes some getting used to.
Has anyone converted from Rubi or left Sigma to Rubi that can give me their opinions please?

I have , all rubi's sold or given away .

Best move I ever made but I have to say I use the pull scribe handle on 3 of my sigmas and a KK handle on the big 1250mm sigma .

most new comers to sigma seem to try the max series , if you cannot get used to the flip foot , then try the pull version or even the KK .

Worth a thought IMO.

 

[Dave]

Deff no case required , these buggers are tough as hell.

 

[Dave]

how do you sort it Stef? I'm seriously thinking of replacing my nearly worn out Rubi's for sigmas.

If you ever need a meet up to try a cutter just ask mate.

I have the KK on the 900 and find it snaps better, just personal preference.

 

[One Day]

One simple fact should settle the debate once and for all...

Far more Rubi users have converted to Sigma than vice-versa
