    I finally want a Sigma cutter

    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?

    Sigma Stock Crisis

    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.

    Dedra Tile Cutters

    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.

    An apology

    My wife has been watching the final of Strictly Come Whatsit. Boring. I have been passing the time posting cheeky replies to posts on here. Anyone who takes offence at any post I make whilst some guy who plays bongos with MuckFly wins (what was wrong with letting The Grant win??) will have to...

    How to be a Speed Tiler

    Found this on Youtube.<br> <br> I was impressed because this woman tiled her shower in 2 and a half minutes, her setting and tiling technique was good, and she managed to tile a shower without getting any addy on her t shirt and shorts!<br> <br> Not sure if I approve of the adhesive she was...

    Has your computer been suffering lots of error messages?

    Got a phone call from an Indian man claiming to be "From Windows Tech Team." My computer has been sending out numerous error messages - he said I should go to my computer and he would tell me how to fix the problem because my computer will suffer a "terminal crash." :yikes: Yeah, right...

    A lesson in customer service

    Ordered Pearl Mapeidesign epoxy grout with gold glitter from Tile Giant a week before due to complete the job this was required for (not stock item - order direct from Mapei). The order got confused, and I was supplied with gold Mapeidesign with no glitter - and I was left with one very...

    Anyone for work in Amsterdam?

    Been talking to my neighbour tonight. His mate (we all have those) has been working in Holland. The tilers there charge at least £40/hour, have juggernaut sized wheeled tool boxes, complete with electric motors to move from their Mercedes van to the site; have all the latest and most expensive...

    Name this puppy?

    This is a black labrador puppy (girl dog) that joined our family today. I need some suggestions to name her, else she is likely to be saddled with something silly like "Beryl" or "Ginny." Her pedigree name is "Moulin Magic" - just remember I have to stand in a public place and call her name for...

    If I won 1.4 million, I would still work as a tiler

    You all probably saw about how my plumber from Devon won £1.4m on an accumulator at the races. When interviewed today, he was packing his van with his kit to carry on plumbing "Cos I want summat to do an I like plumbing me luvva" Fair play to the guy. :hurray: But would you go back tiling...

    TTA Awards 2011

    The Tile Association is undoubtedly a worthy body and I imagine that their annual awards dinner is a suitably corporate event - but with tickets at about £100 a throw, I guess that your average tile fixer wont be attending. First off - anyone from here attending? Secondly - the mind...

    Love my new Rubi - anyone want a Montolit manual cutter?

    Horses for courses as they say. Last year I got myself a Montolit P75 specially to cut those nasty porcelain tiles. Now I know there's a knack but darned if I could get it with the Montolit. :mad2: I ended up using a fairly cheap old Genesis cutter - which is now disintegrating. To sum up...

    Rubi overhead wet cutter for £250

    My local Tileflair is doing a promotional offer selling a Rubi overhead wet cutter for £250. Cannot remember the exact model - DS230 sound about right? Anyone know if these cutters are any good (I know the cutting blade will need upgrading).

    Brilliant BAL?

    Lotsa posts about BAL being over priced - and yes they are expensive. However - I have recently tried a few of their products that do not appear to have any equivalents with any other addy producers. Variset XP - floor adhesive that you can adjust to set in 20 mins. and can get to set...

    I want one of those....

    Christmas is a total waste of money. Unless you have given all your relatives and friends your latest tiling tool wish list. So what do you want in your Christmas stocking? (and anyone suggesting 365 tools marketing girls will be reported for being a perv... lol):prrr::prrr::prrr::prrr:
