Sigma rubi or montolit

[Old Mod]

View attachment 91615 I did think about getting this to replace the tx1200 as a lot easier to carry in van Montolit flashline

Yeah I had one, got the Kera Cut now.

The monti would do me as very occasional user unlike yourself. Most days would be 600mm up here! And long may it continue!

Then it'll be a good buy for you Ian.
It'll cut 12mm no problem. Think it specs 15mm.
Long as you're aware on occasion it can slip if you don't maintain a steady and constant pressure when you score, sure you'll have no problems.
He guy I sold mine to is very happy, and he knew why I sold it, didn't hide anything.

Did notice in video Guisseppi just layed it on tile no suction cups or anything

Yeah the newest version has a clamping system, but I've not seen it up close.
The version you've seen is the one I had, and you do just lay it on top. It has two rubber tubes beneath to grip the tile. I even tried fitting two full length Festool anti slip rubber strips underneath.
Worked great till I realised it lifted the cutter 5mm and if I bore down too heavily it deformed the strips and still cut off line! Haha so I removed them.

Thanks for all the info guys , think I'm swinging towards a sigma max as it's what I'm used to . Yeah all these action packed demo videos do tend to pull you in sometimes . The rubi tz does look good but looks like it takes an hour to put together . The only times the sigma struggle for me was using some rock hard glazed porcelain tiles with a rigid grain in them . Could have wet cut them but used the sigma for time saving .

Honestly, a thought to the new TZ,
I did it. For now only a thought.
However, I did not find the weight.

Yeah I don't know jack about them. I just knew @callatiler was considering one that's why I tagged him. Right size too.

Thanks Andy.

The Monty when working with easy to cut tiles is actually very good , its fast to use and the measuring bar with the drop down stop is better than Sigmas , its also good with mosaics @ Miss Tiler , but i wouldnt recommend this cutter over a Sigma to anyone..

Might play safe and just get a max 750

Well finally decided......... purchased the Sigma 3C3M Max and right arm support extra from @Pro Tiler Tools today! Think it will be a good reliable cutter for me
