About to buy a new tile cutter(for 90cm tiles)

[Button]

About to buy a new 90cm tile cutter and can’t make my mind up. Has anyone got/tried the Rubi tz1020 or sigma 3d3m Max push? Can’t get sigma’s over here in Spain but would have it sent over if I thought it was worth while. I’m a professional tiler and it’s for everyday use.

The Sigma all day long!

I would buy a longer cutter as 1200 tiles are fairly common place . If not where you are im sure they will be soon .

I haven’t tried the Rubi TZ but I did always have Rubis for years until the porcelain tiles kept getting thicker and harder then switched to Sigma and never regretted it

Rubi tz is a great machine.

Rubi tz is a great machine.

Quite pricey in CTD Albert

Got a Rubi tx 1200 n for the bigger stuff but 60cm-90cm is the most used here at the mo

Not to for me

How do the Sigma Cutters compare to the Montolit MP3 in terms of being able to see the scoring wheel?

Does anyone have both?

The tZ applies 1500kg and the sigma about 1200-1300kgs of pressure. Always heard good things about sigma but never got the chance to try one

Sigma sigma sigma sigma sigma sigma...

I’ve got a Montolit 93, so my answer would be biased 🙂

I have an old monti and i find the wheel easier to see on the sigma . Don't know if the newer ones are any different

 

[Waluigi]

Yes they are. The new Montolit have a different handle (red) and the scoring wheel is supposed to be easier to see than the old ‘Blue handled’ Montolit.

Thanks for the reply. At some point I want to get a Sigma but half tempted by the Montolit but scared the scoring wheel visual improvements aren’t enough.
