For electric cutter, I always advise anyone into DIY to use an angle grinder, then buy a Marcrist CK850 115mm tile cutting disc. That will eat porcelain, and your can use the angle grinder for cutting metal, stone, brick, concrete - and its very easy to cut straight to a marked line. If you...
Whilst the sigma is certainly a better cutter, both may require more than one pass with the cutting wheel on riven tiles. But bear in mind you may not get it right until you practice on a couple of tiles first. Everyone here who does tiling for a living will tell you that experience comes from...

Nah. It's Marks and Spencers socks and a bottle of manns brown ale if I am lucky.
The Sigma 12D XL manual tile cutter. 2050mm cuts. Man. What a beast. Gotta get one.
Now all I need is £1294.80.
Anyone out there already have one of these?
Best tile cutter I have ever used. Rubi TS30. Absolutely superb build quality. Beautiful cutting action, and its used for nearly every kitchen splashback. I know it cant cut porcelain cleanly, but there is still plenty of tiles it will cut. A pleasure to carry a small case, fit cutter on...
Lol @ all the replies. I have been debating about buying a 1200 instead of renting. Got stuffed again this week - customer decided to go with 900x300 instead of 600x300's previously discussed! Ended up wet cutting for the long cuts...
So whilst searching for best deals, I was intrigued at how...
Anyone know why Sigma is out of stock everywhere at the moment? I know you Sigma guys believe its because everyone buys them, but that doesn't explain why they don't just manufacture more cutters.
I suffered theft of an angle grinder and Multi drill (£600 with all the bits in the case) - lifted off the back of my van 6 years ago. Since then all my vans have had high security slam locks fitted - now u need to cut the van panels to get in without a key. Its a bitter lesson to learn. Hope...
Just picked up an email for this:
The 1200mm cutter was advertised for £197.50 inc vat! (600 cutter was £80)
Has anyone had any experience of using these? After looking for an occasional 1200 cutter for oversize porcs, this seemed quite attractive.
As Dan said, best short term answer is hiring. My main tile retailer (Tileflair) is usually first choice for hiring (about £10/day). Otherwise its into a shop like CTD to buy new off the shelf. Second hand can be found on eBay, but it wont be ready tomorrow.
For me the Nd200 is difficult to beat. Mine is now 5 years old and with nearly daily use for 5 years it has proved exceptional value. I used a Vitrex before, and it disintegrated within 18 months with no spares or repairs possible.
