[Gazzer]

Has this been sorted now? Just for our info.

mz30 Not sure whats happening at BrightIdeas these days, I was in there recently and they were trying to sell bathroom suites etc and kerakoll adhesive...did see any signs of cutters etc...in fact it was very tacky in there. I used to go in quite often but dont bother anymore.

Cant comment on the showroom mate never been there ,we buy all our stuff over the phone/online ,but i can honestly say the topline cutters are great and i have used rubi and sigmas on the range of tiles i mentioned and both of the top brands failed in comparison.

ive used that cutter 4 years ago..its made by kaufman. refina started selling them at one point.. the thing i didnt like about them was you had to manually flip the breaker foot down with your fingers and they are a bit of over developed if you get my drift . very powerfull cutter though but i think the new sigma max is way better cutter imho .
i found a video from kaufmann, it showns the 1200 cutter being used as well as the 750

Yeah that the one, I saw one in the showroom years ago and while it looked solid it also looked crudely built. Thats not to say its a bad machine.

Thats the cutters ,while i agree they are crudely built,the breaker is now looser so no need for pushing it down,and in all my years tiling i have never seen a manual cutter scribe and snap a granite tile this one did.

And before anyone asks i dont sell them lol.
