New Cutter Time - Rubi TP-66-T or Sigma - or Double Rail

[White Room]

On a different note. I picked up the diamond pads your recommended for having smoother cut around a reveal. They work a treat. Thanks for the tip.

Did get them from ats ?

Rubi can't compete - hence the copycat designs they are now producing.

I reckon I sight my cut up maybe once a day. Rest of the time you simply read the measure bar.
I love my Sigmas and for the record: My 3em fits nicely in my Connect (lwb)

What if your cutting a 600 tile and you want to cut 24cm at one end and 25 at the other end?

From diamond tools on eBay. They were better priced. PREMIUM Hand Polishing pads granite marble porcelain, ceramic, quartz glass tile - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272288647662?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=571112388876&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

SWB for me and no at garage home so its rammed most of the time. I'll make a box or pick one up.

Im guessing point to point can't be that difficult.

What did you use the pads for ?

What did you use the pads for ?

to get a smoother finish for the window reveal tiles. Mostly for ceramic tiles as the edges can be a bit rough.

I see, No trims ?

I still use trims but i like them butted up to the tile. Any discrepancies show up with a different colour grout and the old cutter left the edge to jagged for me. This was normally with longer ceramic tiles.

I have just ordered the Sigms 3C3!!

Seriously?! You need to ask?
Ok then - If I was a noob, I would mark the 25 and set the tile to the measure tape at 24.
Then just tilt it at the far end to the 25 mark - lining up on the break bar or wheel by eye.

As I'm now 9th Dan in Sigma I can simply guess.

 

[Flintstone]

I would measure up the 24 or 25 on the cutter then tweak the top of the tile over by 1cm, unless it's a really off square cut, then i would mark it both ends.

If you want to know if they last I've had my sigmas over 20 years all I've replaced is the cutting wheels..
