Which Sigmas To Buy

[Qwerty]

Ok, finally sorting out moving to Sigma from Rubi.

I currently have two Rubi cutters- a TX900N and a TR400S.

I want to replace both with similar Sigma cutters but I want the big cutter to score & cut at least 1225mm and the smaller cutter minimum score & cut of 600mm.

I want push to score and I like the look of the breaking mechanism that flips down.

Which ones should I go for as there seems to be so many different models!!!

Cheers all

I tried a 500mm pull version, couldn't get on with it so bought a klock klock handle and found it had a good breaker action.
The 1200mm has a max breaker and does the business, mind you so has my 900mm and 600mm cutter have the max as well.
Think you can judge my favorite.

I have just bought a 3e3m, great cutter, i also have a 3d3m that i now want to sell or swap for a 600mm cutter.

So what is the difference between the Max and a klick klock?

 

[gamma38]

The klick klock handle is a regular push handle but then when you want to break the handle does a 180 deg flip over away from you to then push down and complete the break, if that makes sense. Also i think i am right in saying the max machines and handle has the greatest breaking strength.

It's the breaker system, the klick klock handle flips over and a good whack and it snaps the tile, the max has a breaker which flips up from underneath, lift the handle and it drops and again whack to break the tile.

Don't bother with klik klok. Stick with push Max handles. I've got a 3em (heavy beast) and 3cm as my most used cutters. Highly recommend both of course...

That's what I'm after

Do what I've just done Geoff,
I get my 3e3m tomorrow and I'll be buying the klick klock handle as an extra to go with it, a bit later on.

The klock klock is an easier wheel to see when lining up the marks on the tile.

Artisano tiles do some of the best prices in Aylesbury, I got mine from protilertools in Northampton they will price match anyone or beat.

I just saw that artisano place throws in a spare cutting wheel, extra support arm, 5% off order when buying two cutters together and a further 2% off when paying by BACS! Free delivery too
