Sigma tile cutter carrying box

[DHTiling]

Sooo, who uses a carrying box for their Sigmas.?

because they are so light to carry do you even need one.. i think they only carry up to a certain size though, so not available for all sizes then.?

Never really seen the point of a box myself even though I like boxes for other tools, drills grinders etc...and my big Sigma has a nice carrying handle on the side anyway.

They will take any cutter up to 75cm. The case is over sized as to take your knee pads, trowels, floats etc..all in one case. also come with rubber wheels and handle. Its half and half with the cases. Old school dont want them but new school do.

Never used the case either.Thought about getting one but realised that it would prob just take up space in the van while its empty. Good solid cutters though. Dont need much protecting.

Don't use a case, quite happy as they are...

Never seen the need for a case, although wouldn't mind one for going on holidays. :lol:

If you've got plenty to carry in one run, you can hook the Sigma handle over your shoulder and wear it like a back pack.

Not with the klick klock you can't. 🙂

so Ed, what's your verdict on the never ending sigma/rubi saga?, personally my next workhorse cutter that will see me through to 6 feet under will be the 3CM sigma

but when I was looking at the on-line brochure, Harrison (my eldest son) seemed to think I was looking at remote controlled chinook helicopters for his birthday...:yikes:

hi doug,
i like both cutters, sigma and rubi
but i am using a sigma 6 (which i am going to sell and replace with a 2g next week) and a 3c with a max handle aswell... tx700 and sigma 3c both great but the sigma edges it on performance but i do like using the tx but the 3c wins on points lol
and i am ordering the 3em because it is wayyyyy more reliable than a tx1200 regarding cuts so i suppose statistically, i am sigma but there'll always be a little place in my heart for rubi lol just call it loyalty

you have to take time getting used to sigma when youve been weened on rubi, but as each week passes, you begin to like it more and more..sometimes you think, no, i'm going back to rubi because it feels comfy but then you come to appreciate the sigma...bit like an aquired taste.

my advice is take the plunge, buy one and really practice with it. if you dont like it doug, then i am sure there'd be lots of takers...go on, do what dave and me have done, get one and live dangerously

Re: Sigma tile cutter carrying box.

It's great to see all you boys finally realising the error of your ways and buying decent tools at long last. :hurray:

A mate got a 2G recently, good for the complex small stuff like patterned splashbacks. Even the £50 7F performs well - here's some 8x8 Vitra I was using last week:

Re: Sigma tile cutter carrying box.

The 7F is a good little cutter yes. The 2G has the same base as all the larger pro cutter including swivel guide. It's just a smaller version of them. We find alot of guys starting in the trade go for these and when they feel more confident they step it up to the 63cm 75cm etc and the system is exactly the same just on a larger scale now. These also good for those who just need a small but versatile cutter for Kitchens and bathrooms. Love the pics and the Videos guys.

Haha that does look a bit helicoptery to be fair to him!

Plumber told me the 3EK looked like a mutant insect from outer space. "So do you", I quipped.

Back on topic , a case for a sigma is as about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike :-D

It's as much use as a TS50 on a vitrified tile. :lol:
