Not a shadow of a doubt get a sigma 3BM
I've used both, suffered for five years with rubi-itis, after 5 minutes of sigma I was truly cured

Loads of options, montolit, genesis, tomecanic. Sigmas very rarely come up second hand, you'll need to be on the ball to get a good one cheap.

My local supplier does a cutter but can't remember the name and was quite impressed and the prices are good....

Here we go again neither montolith all the way the rest are just copys of this great machine

Sigma UK
Each to their own really if it works for you. Why don't we way up the features of each machine and there benefits to the user?. I will start.
MAX handle example.
1. Single rail multi point breaker
2. 1200kg breaking power
3. No mark protectors on the feet "so no marks on polished porcelain"
4. Height adjustable centre rail for cuts up to 20mm
5. No gaps between the feet. "good for thin cuts and small sheet mosaics including glass.
6. Swivel measuring guide as standard
7. Sprung alloy base
8. 19mm carbide scoring wheel set around bearings for a smoother cut. also held in place with a nut and bolt so no play on the wheel.
9. Dampened thrust handle allows smooth cutting of tiles with a rough surface.
10. strong design "no case required".
11. Bed sizes from 37cm all the way to 151cm
12. Interchangeable parts
Who's next then?.

Is there an old saying about workman blaming their tools! If it works why change - my hammer and chisel still work fine (along with my Kenny Rodgers)

90% of what I do is done with a rubi ts60+.......just saying!!!!!!...........AGAIN!!!!!!!......
P
Protilers
are the models you have the plus models?........If they are I will be interested.......as Rubi make the best cutters for small format tiles (600 x 600) or smaller and Sigma take the large format crown.......
let me know....
