Sigma 2G rocking

[magga]

I found a sigma 2G cheap on eBay, "never used brand new tile cutter" £55, so bought it as thought it was a good price.

After receiving it, it was clear it had been used, but more annoyingly, it rocks quite badly from side to side, surely this isn't normal?


Spoke to the seller who said it must have been damaged in transit and would need to claim off Royal Mail... yeah, good luck with that.

Regardless of damage by Royal Mail, it's not new in any case, so I'm well within my rights to put a claim in, in my opinion.

The 2G does rock as its a very thin base.
I will pull mine out the can & check but I'm sure that's normal.
It would need to have been flung about to get damaged as they are robust.

Are the rubber feet missing? art no : 106731

 

[magga]

No, the feet are all there. It rocks more than I'd like really.

Flog it off an get a rubi

In my youth if something was 'rocking' it was good! Fab, Ace, Top Jockey .....

 

[Stef]

Flog it off an get a rubi

Oooft he's got a professional tiler tag why oh why would he want a Rubi!!!

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Because it's all down to personal choice and there hadn't been a 'fight' for a few months.

You can configure a Sigma to negate all those issues
Even a carry box

Not seing exactly where the wheel touches the tile is a problem
For me, I like to be able to see that point of contact

What model of Sigma and what handle type are you having that issue with, I might be able to help

 

[Flintstone]

None! I use Rubi

Your only using a Rubi cause you haven't tried a Sugma then

Or could try a Sigma

I will admit to never having touched a sigma cuter. I do have a mini Montolit which is similar principle I beleive? Not seing the wheel
Make contact with the tile is a problem
For me. I am ready to buy a new cutter soon, the ts60 plus is getting tired, box is falling to bits

I asked you what model and handle type you'd used( even though it wasn't you I was supposed to ask) because that's untrue about a sigma, some models have alignment issues but the vast majority don't, I've had 3 Rubi's in the past of varying sizes, they're great for metros but they wouldn't lace the boots of a sigms with anything of substance.
