Hi Marc, what Antonio is try ing to explain is that on the max series you push away from yourself to score the tile, then draw the handle back to about 10-15mm from the edge closest to the bar then lift the handle up and a spring mechanism will flick the breaker down then you break the tile the same way as you would with the traditional pull handle. with the klick klock its the same scoring procedure as the max but the handle has a hindge on it just above the main rail, which you then lift up and judge the breaking pressure yourself by pressing down on the tile after you've scored it, again 10-15mm from the edge.
Pull handle for speed
Klick klock handle slower but better at breaking tougher tiles (plus less sore on the wrist be cause of the reverse scoring act)
Max handle for the toughest of tiles, which its great for.

Sometimes the spring mechanism on the max handle clogs with dust, so with each cut you have to manually flick the breaker down with your finger, a slight pain in the ***, but no big deal which you get used to after a few cuts

Klick klock is different than the traditional pull and score in that you 'push' to score, much easier on the wrist on a tile thats hard to score, also the breaking action allows you to successfully break tougher tiles with more control. The max series is the same 'push' to score, but the cutting well is 19mm and on a pond bearing which allows for much easier scoring of rough textured tiles, the breaking foot is also 100mm wide so increases the pressure for the breaking of very hard tiles. Its much slower than pull and score, but can easily and consistently break tiles that the pull handle simply couldn't look at. the klick klock sort of falls in-between these two systems. hope that all make some sort of sense lol

I'll read it another 20 times when I'm at home and can concentrate, cheers haha
Alternatively, just bleeding tell me which one to look at getting please.

 

[LM]

Ok, get a 3C3M max with a 10mm bar and then order a 24AE handle and a 24AK handle and you'll then have 1 machine that has interchangeable handles for all scenarios lol. I don't want to start the inevitable, but you won't look back, especially to any OTHER brands of cutters

 

[Old Mod]

Haha well I'm using 3em at the moment and getting on ok with it, so hence the line of enquiry.
Cheers mate appreciate the advice.

I think the max handle is a lot quicker than any of the pull cutters.
I never ever got on with a pull cut machine & when I tried a max series I thought now that's the cutter for me.
I've never had the foot clog up on me but I keep my cutters clean & use wd40 silicone spray on them & they work as good as new.
I would say if you are used to using a Rubi then I would stick to a max series cutter.
A play about with them for a few days & you will ever look back.

More tools on the cards

This has confirmed for me that you work for topps!

If you look at my first post, I said I did indeed work for Topps. My comment is pretty much repeating what we've been told by the manufacturer and seems to be a big problem with the "it shatters things" arguement. Not much on the clinker though. I think the 630 is still knocking about in a fair few vans!

 

[moomarine]

Was thinking the same!

 

[moomarine]

Time to invest in a sigma then!

 

[Tile Shop]

I'm tempted by a Sigma for my first proper cutter. I've only ever used the Ru..... the other one, for merchandising etc, and I can't get over the fact that so many rate Sigma over anything else. Just the pull to score, seems a bit of an alien concept to me. Could get the push but don't know what the advantages/disadvantages between the pull/push. Need to find someone who's got one and have a play me thinks

 

[moomarine]

You can always get the pull or push and see how you get on as sigma do sell them separately as someone has mentioned above. Think they are about £50!

 

[moomarine]

It's not knowing what size to get that holding me back at the moment! Go massive or go home I guess! Lol
