Rubi Rubi all the way or time for a change??

[TTT]

Hi folks IKnow a couple of lads on here so thought I d seek your advice
Tiler though and through 25 years !!
Been a ruby man since day one (cutters wise)
Thinking of upgrading the ts70... she's seen better days!
Should I stay or should I go??
Thinking maybe defecting to the sigma camp? Any thoughts??

Over 600mm I'd definitely recommend the move to sigma. It's at 600mm and over you really see and appreciate the difference. If you're used to rubi, stick with those for smaller stuff though.

Trouble is a lot of tiles have changed over 25 years and Rubi was there as the best at the time, my preference is sigma nowadays but still have a rubi TS40 for the smaller tiles.

As Imp says under 600mm Rubi can do it on most tiles, BUT Sigma can do it all and much easier and over 600mm they are literally on a different page when it comes to performance. I have never heard of someone who has used a Sigma moving to Rubi cutters, however every day almost even on this forum you hear of the happy campers who have moved from Rubi to Sigma and they don't look back.

I still hear guys asking for Rubi at tile shops, there still a force to be reckoned with.....sold a TX700 and got a good price for it, the demand is still there....quality, now that maybe another issue.

I've been thinking on the same line, have got tx 900 and tx 1200 but hear so many guys banging on about sigma stuff have wondering if it worth selling all the Rubi gear and making the switch, just always been a Rubi man and font want to regret the switch, but there are tiles I've come across that the Rubi s just don't deal with all that well now

You definitely will not regret the switch, if your are used to Rubi's then get the sigma with a klick klok or max handle, these are push also.
The max is better suited for harder to cut tiles, but you can buy interchangeable handles for all the machines anyway.

I would say, if you can , go and try a Sigma.
I like a few have moved over to Sigma but i did try before i switched .
Not all like the single rail.

I'm gonna say it, I'm going to buy another sigma
Ok just to hi jack the thread, the best sigma to cut up to 800 ish , I have a 1200 push flip over thingie and like that one , so want the same

OK then people thinking about this more, can't get a go on a sigma as don't know anyone who uses, or even holds in stock to sell ( I live in a small town) what are the codes/ different types? What is best to get in the sigma range?
