Took the plunge , New Sigma 3DM Tile Cutter

[Sigma UK]

It's true. I couldn't cut a tile the first time i had a go. I was looking for the scoring wheel thinking where is my line!. Then you muck around with it a bit and before you know it your cutting through everything. You can although its not a great cut chop up gulfstone on one if you need to. We also only do three types of scoring wheel which is the standard tungsten carbide, MAX wheel on bearings and a Titanium wheel for longer life. Most tiler have told me they last well over a year or more.

Yeah I am getting about a year before changing. Just bought a 2nd hand Sigma which came with 44 spare wheels all new !!! not sure if they are genuine though.

44 wheels!! your not going to need any for some time mate. They should be stamped sigma on the side with a number if there real and come in clear blister type pack with sigma logo's on it.

Nah these came in a random box but saying that in the past I have bought from Ebay and they were just taped to a card....and they have lasted as long as the originals.

 

[Gazzer]

Wouldnt mind trying the titanium wheel though.....what size are they? fit a 5B ?

 

[Sigma UK]

Yes, you need a 14T 12mm wheel. it's meant to be good for at least 1500-2000sqm of porcelain.

I will treat myself then when I find anyone in my area that stocks them or if I am passing somewhere that does.....gotta look after my babies.:smilewinkgrin:

Does the max wheel only fit the max or can it be used on the klick klock handle, just bought a cutter with the max and tried on a ceramic as it was all I had to hand at the time....sooooooooooooooooo smooth:drool5:

 

[Sigma UK]

It only fits the MAX handle yes. I think the bore size is slightly larger. It does cut really nice though. you don't need to much pressure for sure.
