What brand of Tile cutter do you use Poll 2013.

Does that tile have a thick glaze on it?. If so the score is not going through the glaze to reach the biscuit. Hence why they just break anywhere they want to.

See now a tiler should know that and score from both sides.. if no good then give up and wet cut... :lol:

Would putting wd 40 or something on the wheel help the scribe in that situation Dave ? I ask cause notice I get nice cleaner cuts when I've oiled the sigma
 
how comes I ONLY I GET 1 VOTE?...... hehehehheheheheeee....

I use rubi and sigma.....although sigma is a new addition......its miles better for what I want that perticular machine to do than the rubi equivilent........but the TS60+ is the mut's nuts for day to day tiling IMO.....
 
I use Rubi (ts60+), Sigma (3em), Raymondi (zoe), dewalt (dw2400)...and I also use a plasplugs master tiler......so I cant really vote on just one......i think they are all great.....

for a specific material on a specific job.......

it is horses for courses IMO.........
 
Can i also say .. i find the number of votes compared to tilers on here very poor.... it costs nothing to vote you know.. :lol:
 
okay for small format tiles I have a really old rubi ts 30......its on its last legs......and I love it dearly.... great for splashies.........
and for anything up to 600 x 600 set traditionally then I whack out the TS60+.........
for larger format I used to use my TX700-or is it 900.....i cant remember I have used it so little..........and I honestly think its pants.........hence my purchase of a sigma 3EM (Gary the tiler said it was the best out there!)
and trusting his judgement I now own one...........and after souping it up a bit and adding the speed stripes.........it is miles ahead of the equivalent rubi......

IMO
 
I have to admit that I have no experience with the small format sigmas......except for a few minutes with Andy Carroll's one...

I am sure they do the job well........but for me its just a case of I am used to what i am Used to and I can achieve a faster result with it......so why change?

cue RayTT.......Or Gary........they will tell you I am SLOW LEE.................hehehhehheheee
