I had a rubi tx 700 for long time and sold it and bought a sigma 3c3m . What i found annoying is why didn't i do it sooner

''Plumber'' and ''tight for cash'' in the same sentence.....got to be a wind up????
And for what it's worth... A Sigma is better build quality and will cut porcelain easier than a Rubi(Ex Rubi user)
