What brand of Tile cutter do you use Poll 2013.

The handle looks to be from a trowel :smilewinkgrin: , very inventive.

O c'mon mate, wait a while, this is just their second generation of that kind. rrr:

What size? And carbide only or titanium coating?

By the way: does anyone know why Sigma don't make titanium coating wheels for Max series?

Because they last long enough as they are. We do them for the 12/14mm wheels.

I think Rubi eventually realised they loose clients for Sigma and started with Ti series some time ago to stop that.

Doesn't have any of our features on the cutter. There is only one Sigma.

Still wanna swap. :smilewinkgrin:

Ok, so I'll change my question: why do you make 12/14 mmm wheels with titanium coating as well? Don't the carbide ones last long enough as they are?

Yes, for sure, Sigma is one and only. But as everyone can notice these new Rubi cutters look quite similar to Sigma or Montolit ones. So maybe Rubi think it's enough for long time Rubi users to keep them sticking with their brand.

Yes they do last a long time. titanium ones are meant to last even longer. The 19mm max wheel is different though as it's set around bearings. What's the average life span of your wheel Pit-R.

Why don't you see if anyone wants to buy it on here. Might get a few quid for it seeing as it's new.

Ok, my last chance.
I know the difference in construction of the wheels, and know what titanium coating is used for. Just don't know why Sigma offer such a choice between non-coated (long lasting) and coated (even longer lasting) wheels to people using 12 and 16 mm wheels, and don't do it to those using 19 mm top Max series ones.

What's the average life span of your wheel Pit-R.

It depends of course, but seems to me that it's longer than half a year. But I don't use sigmas. So asked about it wanting to have some comparison.

Buy yourself a Sigma and try it, no need to over complicate matters....

But it's realy simple: you should choose before buying, shouldn't you? So if they say that Max series is the best and coated wheels are better than non-coated, why can't I get them?

I've now got 3 Sigmas & to be honest I couldn't care less if the wheels are coated in space dust as they are the best cutters I have used.. [emoji6]
