Sigma 10M9, anybody got one?

[peteablard]

Lee from Sigma had one set up at a trade day in my local CTD a few weeks ago. If looks a great machine and wondered if anyone on here has one or has used one? I've got a massive stone job coming up later this year and I'm thinking about selling my Dewalt and investing in one of these

I've got both the dewalt and the sigma I like both machines but I find my self taking the sigma most of the time

Yes I have one also and can't fault it. Ask for a full demo of what it can do and how to use it if you buy one. 🙂

Just recently I've had a few jobs where the arm on the Dewalt has been a problem and I haven't treated myself to anything new for a while 🙂

Didn't realise they would do that, cheers for the heads up mate

It's just small simple tips that you wouldn't have thought about, then one day you'll figure the odd thing out and wish you'd have realised it from the start🙂

10M9 is as good as it gets I'd say. For a large stone job, you'll be a very happy tiler!

For stone it can't be beat. Cuts any length, any width.

I own a 10m and they most definitely don't cut off line u must be using it wrong

I find that very strange, there has to be something wrong with your blade mounting or usage unless someone has sabotaged all you machines on you!

 

[Kyle Knowles]

The 10m has an adjustable thingy thing so u could compensate even if they did cut off square

 

[Pro Tiler Tools]

We have one in the shop, we use it as a demo machine if you ever wanted to try it out please feel free to come have a go.

If you want a price on one let me know i will see what i can do 🙂

Which cutters do u own ?

 

[mr.tile]

Our company has 3* sigma M10,
The blades on them all cut of line, Even with new blades.. The part that holdes the blade is not straight on any of them!

That's some serious misfortune you've had 3 machines that cut off line.... I own one that cuts bang online maybe it's coz I bought mine from Italy and had it shipped they must only sell rejected ones in the UK lol

 

[mr.tile]

I think it must be some careless handling med misuse.
Never the less, I find this much better

 

[LM]

For straight cuts yes a rail cutter is good, but not for a check. Overall I prefer the under cut.

 

[Dumbo]

If I had 2 that cut offline I certainly wouldn't buy a 3rd

 

[Kyle Knowles]

I find it hard to believe a 10m would cut off line I've cut 4No 12mm limestone stacked ontop of each other and it just blasts through them I must have a gooden

Let's not get carried away here, these machines simply don't come out of the box and cut off line. There's another issue with this scenario.

I got the sigma 10m for 3 years and I love it

I was questioning the logic

 

[mr.tile]

Maybe it's because the boss buys the machine and the employees break it. He would not buy it if he had to use it himself as it is useless, as is discussing it with you, since you haven't tried them and I would loved to see your face trying to make a nice L-cut against a shower and mirror with it. We are 30+ who use them, and not everyone handle them with care.
Never hadde any trouble with rail gutter though.

 

[Dumbo]

I got an akkumax blade in my grinder .
Good blade but I know I can't abuse it because it will bend or break .

 

[mr.tile]

Ok
