    Sigma Manual Tile Cutters

    I chose the max coz i just didn`t fancy the pull version as only ever had push cutters. Klick klock probably just as well suited though

    Sigma Manual Tile Cutters

    Sigma Manual Tile Cutters

    Well, that’s was interesting. I just spent the last hour cutting various thickness, hardness and texture porcelain with my new cutter. I now understand the fuss about sigma being best, it’s effing amazing. Wasn’t 100perfect on heavily textured but on 10mm polished or matt porc it’s just...

    Tile cutter recommendation

    I’ve just ordered a sigma 3d3m after looking at all other brands Sigma doesn’t come in a case unfortunately

    900mm cutter/wet saw

    Top man :) Was just looking for it. Tile sizes are 450x900 and 150x900 so not to wide, just long shiney and very expensive. Decided I’m better getting a great cutter, hopefully reduces any chance of unwanted damage/chipping

    900mm cutter/wet saw

    Well the deed is done, ordered a sigma 3d3m for delivery next week. I’ll have a practice over the weekend before I need to take on these 900 polished porc

    900mm cutter/wet saw

    Monti vs sigma serie 3, how the hell do you decide which is best suited lol Also, why are there so many sigma cutters? Surely they all do the same thing
  26. Bopster

    900mm cutter/wet saw

    Very true, every bathroom I do nowadays has 300x600 it seems. Not sure 900 will become common though as it really needs a good size room to pull it off. Look a bit daft only having 2.5 tiles across a wall. I’d much prefer putting up shower panels

    Grohe shower mixers holes

    That’s exactly what I did on my last Smart shower. Used the 120 then just ground out the hole with a large hole cutter
