Which tile cutter do you normally use?

I can’t get on with Montolit cutters. I have an early model though.

Have you tried the newer model Montolit cutter

 

[Waluigi]

No, not yet. Seen one though. Just haven’t tried it.

As with all of these things, you have to persevere.

Oh I like that monti, is it over kill for fitter like myself. For you guys tiling day in day out it makes alot of sense.
I have an old clinker 750 in my garage I’ve not used for years as it is.

In terms of tile sizing, the only way is up.

Remember when 600 x 300 was seen as huge? Now it seems to be the generic size in your average bathroom.

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

You're lucky im not admin . Any talk of shower panels and you would be out .

 

[Waluigi]

I must admit, I can’t stand those shower panels. A showroom I deal with sometimes keeps telling me how great they are. Keep in mind their average fit is over £10k. I just think they look cheap and nasty.

They bang on about them being high end . I've never been to Dubai but its not something I would expect to see in some of their high end hotels . Shower panels are more like Barry island caravan park .

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

You try for yourself . Also sigma pull to score . Push to score , klick klock handle . Just personal choice

 

[Waluigi]

I’m going for a sigma next.

I don’t like buying my gear away from Protiler as I like to be loyal to them if I can so I’ll wait for more stock.

 

[Bopster]

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

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
