What's the best/fastest small tiler cutter?

[llevram]

I seem to be getting a lot of kitchens so I'm in the market for a smaller tile cutter as I'm using a ts60. Any suggestions welcome. Cheers

Depends, do you want a manual or electric cutter?

 

[llevram]

Ah sorry, Manuel cutter....

The sigma 3G3M gets good reviews on here, have a look @Pro Tiler Tools they have them, good price also!

i don't think you can beat a trusty TS40

I have a sigma 7f standard series I don't think u can beat it for 70 quid

Gotta be a ts 40 for small stuff

I use a TS30, good for small stuff.

Is this a rubi ts30 ? 🙂

Wow. Thats one of the very early original Rubi cutters from the 50's or 60's maybe? We have someone local who had one a while back, brought it in to show us. He got his hands on it around 1980 on a market in Barcelona. But it wasn't in a good condition as that one, so he dismantled it, sanded the wood and varnished it, cleaned all the metal up. Looked mint! Don't know if he still has it but haven't seen him in a while to ask, but i'll see if I can get a pic 🙂

Anyone on here use a sigma 7f standard that's willing to give a quick review? I'm very tempted but only ever used Rubi twin twin cutters. Also used a montolit quick a few times but annoying that you can see the pencil marks. I'm assuming this is the same for sigma? I do wonder though why a new sigma 7f is so cheap and the Rubi TS 30/40 equivalent is well over double the price?!!!

I have a f7 standard series and it's like a sigma cutter just no hight adjustment on the rail but it's only 70 quid take a punt

I'd advise you to go for the Sigma Art 6, it has got a wider base and is slightly heavier therefore it's much more stable than the Art 7F.

What do you mean by height adjustment mate

Cheers mate, would you say they are quicker that Rubi TS 30/40 then ?

I would because the cutting action is a quick pull back and a simple tap of the same handle and it all seems to happen in one motion whereas with a Rubi you have two different handles to manoeuvre before the cut is complete. That said the Rubi is still a good cutter for small stuff.

I've been using sigma cutters for the best part of 40 years and can highly recommend them, the Sigma ART6 is a great cutter, adjustment for varying tile thicknesses, accurate size markings (if you keep them clean) and a square cutting length of 35cm, once you try it you won't go back
