Took the plunge , New Sigma 3DM Tile Cutter

[Gazzer]

After searching around for prices and trying various cutters, Sigma, Montolit and Rubi I decided I needed a cutter capable of 900mm tiles. All good cutters IMO but I decided to stay with what I know best so a new Sigma 3DM is on its way to me.
I will do a review when I get the chance.........guaranteed I will be fixing 150mm Vitra white for next 6 months now :lol:

Neale the inevitable will come. :lol:

I looked at a 3cm, good deal at diatech, but opted for the tomecanic supercoup 75.

My only gripe with it is on glazed ceramic it chips the glaze bad so im keeping hold of my ts 60 just for that purpose.

With heavy grade porcelain tiles the tomecanic is a joy to use.

If these tiles keeping getting larger then i will either buy a 900 machine or even step up to a 1200.

Enjoy your new purchase.

I'm considering getting a sigma Neale as the rubbers on my TX700 are wearing down, (probs used wd40 for too long) I was looking through sigma catalogue and Harrison, my eldest lad, thought I was looking at remote controlled helicopters

I've recently splashed out on a montolit 93p2 and started a job today with 4 wetrooms all 450x900s and 60 sq metres 800x800s floor, just hoping I can get used to not being able to see the scoring wheel. I considered the sigma, would be interested to know how it is.

You do't need to see where your scoring with a Sigma. It's bang on every time. Have faith in your cutter and it won't let you down.

Has it arrived yet?

 

[Gazzer]

Yeah I collected it today from the courier as I was out yesterday. It looks great but as yet have not tried it out.

The big 93cm cutters are nice to work with, feel like they have twice the breaking power than the older style 4A machine.
