An interesting reason to buy a Sigma...Council ???

 

[evertonl36]

not to sure to be honest he said the tiles they are using on the floors struggle to be cut with any other cutter including a rubi

 

[diamondtiling]

I would not take what he said as a reason for buying a particular tile cutter. I have 5 sigma cutters and 1 rubi, but looking at what rubi have to offer now I will be trying one of the bigger versions in the near future.

Most good makes of cutter will handle all types of tiles, i wouldnt say it was a reason to buy a new cutter unless you needed one and you had used a Sigma before.
If you are using the standard Rubi TS range then a Rubi TX would suit better.

You could always got montolit route...

Just like sigma's but some better features..like adjustable pressure etc..

On the breaking arm Dom..? or the bar...

Monty's have 2 sets of feet aswell i think..

I am a rubi man.. have yet to try a sigma...

I did have a rubi Ti-66s but couldn't get used to not seeing the scoring wheel...but it is what a fixer is used to as well..

As long as the cutter does the job in hand then that is what counts.

rubi tx 700 will cope with everything that a sigma or monti will imo

the montolits have the secondary breaker and it is a nice feature for diagonals and mosaics apart from that then theres nothing in it between monti and sigma...ferrari and lamborghini ...

i just now prefer the twin rail cutters but i am going to get the larger sigma 1.25m version because that is one excellent cutter!!! click clock system and its a push version!!!

Not on the breaking arm Dave, adjustable bar and sprung tables, having said that I can fit an adjustable breaker to them, I might just call the place where I got them to see how much they are, I think they are very similar to the montolit.

You need to tell Dave at tradetiler that his montolit masterpiuma 125 P2 boasts a cutting length of 12,500mm !! So that would be just one tile to lay in a room then :lol::lol:
You would need a helicopter to deliver it for you. :yikes:

I think the scoring is the issue used to use twin rail found on larger cutters the flex of the twin while scoring causes unequal pressure singal rail is only a guide for scoring the pressure is more equal depending on the person I own sigma 51/75/95 I converted 2 years ago and will not go back to a doubble rail BUT every installer is differnt with choices I like Rubi just dont like doubble roller
