sigma laser ?

[eddie1]

I have a sigma 3c2 and sick and tired of lining up for cuts and being out by 1-2 mm, has any one seen a laser that i can attach or any ideas how to diy it

Rubi do a bolt on laser for their rail saws under £30 I think.

Or should've gone to specsavers

How are you ending up being a couple if Mil out?

 

[WetSaw]

I would have though after the first couple of cuts being off a bit you'd adjust your cut to allow for the difference.

 

[Dave]

I would concentrate on lining up better ....

 

[AliGage]

Are you marking both ends of the tile? Or just one end to do an equal cut?

If the later, maybe your rest bar is out, or its a cheaper, unsquare tile

 

[eddie1]

both end, its just that you need a swans neck to see the wheel where as if you had a laser so much easier

On my cutter I just put a bit of masking tape on both ends scribe and cut tile leave it in position and then mark on tape. Works fine on mine.

Do we have crossed wires mate?
It's not my thread, Haha
The OP asked for a bolt on laser, rubi do one, that's it.
But I must admit, I am struggling with your explanation,
I don't really understand it.
Sorry

No crossed wires. Op was saying he was having trouble lining his cutting wheel up to where he was cutting 1 or 2 mm out. So what I said was to put a piece of masking tape at each end of the cutter,(on the bed) one at front and one at the other end where you tile ends. Make your cut leave the cut piece where it is and mark on your tape where the cut is. Then all you have to do is put tile adjacent to marks on tape.

Ah! Now I get it. Apologies!
Thanks for clearing that up!

Have you checked the scoring wheel? It can flare to the side after much use on rubi and sigma.

Diggy

I don't get what the problem is...measure your cuts, dot on each end of tile, hit the dots with the scribe wheel bobs yer uncle, I've only had a sigma for about 6 months and its the best piece of kit I've ever bought...bar none
