tile cutters

A snap cutter can not have a weak point surely!!The rubi snapper will give you an accurate line (within a pencil point)It is the(crack the tile) bit that is in question....am I wrong?If a tile does not want to break along a weakened score line in its glaze ....why slag the cutter ..slag the operator,try a different method like wet saw,I know we havn't got the time have we??????

gaz gaz gaz keep your hair on m8!! the rubis a great cutter but the sigma is much better for diagonal cutting ,if you have ever used one you will know wot i mean!!!

Most of the sigmas are pull to scribe, and i think the rubi's are push to scribe? And do the rubi's have two handles one for scribing and one for snapping, whereas the sigma's have one handle, alot quicker in my opinion

You can get a handle for the Sigmas called a "Klick Clock Handle" which allows you to push to scribe.

I mainly use rubi cutters, 3 dry and 2 wet (with marcrist blades ) which i like a lot, although i do use other brands, including a cordless makita angle grinder with a marcrist blade, a cordless makita glass/ tile saw and also a plasplugs compact plus wet saw. Unfortunatly I have never used a Sigma cutter but I would like to give one a whirl as Ive read lots of positive comments.

Where do you get them from though, i had a link in my bookmarks to a site that sold them, but it's now dead, Oh and has anyone bought anything from this site before. Home - Contractors Direct Europe

ebay had a couple of new sigma cutters listed recently, not sure if they will still be on there but could be worth having a look.

 

[wivers]

Always felt the pull method a bit dificult for me, although it was never a proplem in my youth! :wink_smile:

Quite like the look of this one, what do you guys think? Looks like it takes a Rubi cutting wheel too.
