which sigma to buy

[merit]

always used rubis in the past , and my everyday cutter is 700 n which cuts most tiles i use fine,
been doing a few wetrooms lately so the envelope cuts dont fit when using 600 by600,
gunna give a sigma a go , i think ill want the 900 but which one, what gives best results, and what are the differences to the diferent machines, ie push/ pull klick klock ect , and best place to purchace,
cheers

A pull handle is second nature to me now so I would advice that, as for where to buy...Tradetiler Home page of course

My preference is the Klick Klock...what is your location.

I would get this one:

the sigma 3EM......the new ones come with all the extras apparently!!!!!

Whats the difference between the push and the pull action?

Whats the difference between the push and the pull action?

I tend to use the max and KK as a push handle towards the measuring bar but it's a matter of choice....

I use push on my 3cm (700mm) and 3em (1200mm) and pull on my smaller cutters.
Just too hard pulling on the wrist on the big cutters in my opinion.

Don't you use a wet cutter or grinder for doing the envelope cuts to give you a grout joint?

i ve been using my dewalt for the envolope cuts but on a 600 by 600 you have to turn the tile round and it can rattle a bit

I'm not far from you if you want to try a sigma cutter out..

I do use 3dm and its great on 600x600 porcelain

thanks for the offer dave, ive tried em before , just dont want to buy a particular model if theres a better one to buy

I've got the klick klock 600, and I reckon it's a good cutter, gives a nice edge finish and easy to use once the level is set correctly on the scoring bar
