Sigma Vs Rubi finally solved!!!!!!!! Page: 2

And very pleased with it, and testing on cheapo ceramics today and no crushing like the montolit.




Oh and I did the slither test on an off cut :lol: and that did surprise me , these tiles are 9mm thick and it took 10mm off. Cannot do that on a "ahem " Rubi.




Right back to it. Got tiles to get on. 🙂

I have to say that i have never tried to cut a sliver of a tile but i will have a go today. That machine looks soooo clean!!!.

It was just to see if it could do it Pete, sometimes i am governed on these wetrooms to where the tile finishes at ceiling height as i have to start of the vinyl trim with a full tile, so it works what it works to the ceiling.. but my TS will not cut small slivers from a full tile without breaking away but the Sigma does no probs..

I would like to use the pull handle though to see how the smaller foot works etc.

Thats the Klick Klock handle your've got then Dave.....

It is yes, strange at first as it isn't a straight scribe and snap.. would be good to try the pull handle to compare.

Im going to send you all the handles Dave to play around with. You can then get a feel for what works best for you.

Also gents one to remember. when you change a handle over on a Sigma you must only release the nut on the bar at the base end not where the guide rail is. I had a guy who released both ends and just spun around the whole bar which might knock it out of line. They come calabrated from Italy so just be aware. slide the handle off the bar from the back end then either turn it around or switch the handle over. If your cutter ever goes out of line in the future then its a simple thing to get it right again. (small alen key and spanner) on the guide rail where you see the silver knob where the measurments are. it adlusts from there to get it right again. two min job.

really..?.. wow another late birthday prezzy 🙂🙂🙂.. i do want to use the pull one though as that seems the quickest one to use..

I had a look today at how easy the handle is too change... i thought it might be a chew but nah.. just undo the height adjuster and lift up off the rail , slide the handle off and bingo changed.
