Sigma

[Stef]

Rubi is designed to sit onto of its own box, I need a box with the sigma to store it in the van better, I don't have a massive van

Oh I didn't know that.
The cutters moved too much when it was sat on the box.
I like everything nice & neat in my van & ive never needed a box for any of my Sigmas..

 

[Old Mod]

I find the 1200 sigma much easier to move around with the bar removed.
It weighs as much as the actual machine almost. Having it in a box would not help, and it certainly doesn't need one.
If you're stacking boxes on boxes then I spose it's a necessity..
Unless it's the one on top.

Rack your van out and forget about it, much better

 

[Qwerty]

Buy a bigger Van!

 

[Flintstone]

How much did you end up paying?

Well, I've never used a sigma but the majority on here can't be wrong so gonna get I've ordered up on Friday

 

[hmtiling]

How much did you end up paying?

£298 from pro tiler tiles. Was gonna go with trade tiler but they couldn't dispatch until Monday

 

[Flintstone]

Sound, I have just made the purchase!

 

[hmtiling]

She's here and already impressed

 

[hmtiling]

The only downside so far is that I've just wasted 30 mins cutting very small cuts off of 600 porc cause I can!

I keep wondering, why buy the 75cm ?.
thought which torments me.

 

[kevsalt]

them battipav mchns are the right money at the moment ...temted

 

[Flintstone]

Because most of the time you don't want a massive cutter taking up half the room when you don't need it to be so big

In fact, as I thought, the 3b4 67 cm is enough.
I only use that, 75cm is not needed.

 

[Flintstone]

72.5

 

[Flintstone]

Arrived today, bit of a Beast. I'm gonna get a box on order

I have Sigma box's but never use them!

 

[Flintstone]

Why not

 

[Old Mod]

Why not

So he can sell them to you!

 

[LM]

Why not

The machines are so robust, you'll find you probably stop using it after a while. Do get yourself a wire bristle pipe cleaner and take your handle off regularly and clean the inside of it. Never oil the rail.

 

[Flintstone]

I might hold our and see how I get on without a box, might just have to re arrange the van a bit for it. The rail came with some light oil on it, I assumed a splash of wd40 once a week would be the order

No no no!
It gets full of dust and then cloggs up, keep it dry it's much much better!

I give mines a spray with wd40 silicone spray every time I feel the handles not gliding on the bar the way it should.
I've never took the handle off my 3b3m, really should, but a quick spray & it's like new.

the thought still haunts me.
why buy 75 cm and not 60/63 cm?
Here they all use the 60 cm, you have many tiles, 70/75 cm?

 

[Diggy]

If you tile a room in a roof , a 60cm wont cut a 60cm on the diagonal. Funny enough was doing one yesterday , attic room , slope ceiling , 600mm tiles , out came the 700 TXN.
Am looking for something lighter tho for those occasions , tempted with the Rubi Max 65 should just do it and is easier to hump up the stairs.

Diggy :0)
