Sigma

[jstrats]

Evening all can anyone answer me this please?

I have a Sigma 5b cutter gathering dust in the garage that i bought from a tiler returning to Oz (yes i'm a Rubi man)

My question is....can i use this to cut mosaics with? Was thinking of purchasing the montolit from trade tiler but i won't bother if i can use the Sigma,
the wheel needs changing so i haven't been able to test it out.

Many thanks, Jamie.

P.s is it possible to gain access to the Tilers arms? I realise i don't post much on here and am more of a reader than a talker but will try to get more involved in the future.

I use my Sigma for mosaic and find it great. No need for a mat, if the mosaics are small then any piece of cardboard will do but rarely do i need that.

As for Tilers Arms http://www.tilersforums.com/tiling-forum/7477-wheres-door-tilers-forums-arms.html

as above i use my sigma on mosaics no probs, you can adjust the bar to cut thin or thick mosaics easy..

My 5b is happy enough cutting mosaics all day.

Thanks guys, i have seen on Ebay a mosaic cutting wheel, does this need to be used for glass mosaics or can you use the standard wheel?

 

[Peter]

Standard wheel will be fine - just don't apply too much pressure and raise the bar up a bit.

Never needed anything other than the standard wheel.
