The MAX has been around for a while now. It seems the further North you go the more they use the score backwards handle. Down South its mainly MAX handle with Klick Klock. I think its because Sigma has always been popular in the North and Ireland hence the reason most people have the traditional handle where as the South is catching on to the cutters now and go for the push score MAX handle. (because they are used to other cutters) they all work just as well as each other but the MAX i have to say has the edge slightly being 1200kg. the Klick Klock 1050kg and the scribe backwards is 1050kg. scoring wheel for the MAX is not the same as the other handles. It is set around bearings for a smoother score.
People who try a Sigma after using Rubis etc really do need to give it a fair go. It didnt take me too long but I didnt have any other cutter at that time so I had to make it work for me. 2 days max and I was converted.
You wont believe the life you get out of a Sigma cutting wheel either.
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.
