Always viewed those as the entry level ones. Fixed height bars etc

Good work horses though...

They have a thinner base than the 3BM's etc.. and they are less money but will still cut a good range of tile types. I don't think we anything that wont cut porcelain including the 7F and 2G.

They look a damn sight better than my genesis 😉

My only issue with the Sigma's is that i have absolutely no idea what the differences are between the models!?! The numbers/letters mean nothing to me, and the brochure doesn't really clear up my confusion!?! lol!

The small one in your video Dave, looks ideal for Splashbacks, and smaller tiles though.. I've really got to try one of these, and see if i can get on with the Sigma design!

I was a rubi user for so so many years..... i even have a working ts40 that i bought in 1994.. but i have never ever used a cutter that is so easy to use and just cuts and cuts , and that is sigma.

Has anyone tried cutting brick slips on a Sigma, just curious, recently been working in trading coffee shops ( central London ) where dust and mess in general has to be kept down, my old TX700 copes but is a 'tad' on the large size for slips, as I say, just curious as it could be a winner. FWIW the slips are average 240x80x20mm.

TIA

Havent tried but I see no reason why it shouldnt do the job. I think it would cope well.
I wonder if Derek at SigmaUk has something knocking about that you could try. That would make a nice article to read.

I think 'most' cutters would cope, just scouting for options, something light so can be used up a scaffold but sturdy / strong enough to cope with repeat cuts.

Maybe someone will read this with an old semi knackered one for trials 🙂 if there's such a thing as a knackered Sigma 😉

If I remember correctly I cut a few brick slips on my manual about 8 years ago. Needed scribed s few times but worked.

Don't want to sound silly but what are brick slips? are these half bricks or something?.

 

[Gazzer]

I think they are actual bricks cut down to about 10 - 15mm thick ?

This type of product Del ..

I see now. Don't think it would be a problem with them although I have never tried to cut any. If i ever see any I shall get a few to test for myself.

Thanks, the cut doesn't have to be clean, as long as it's straight ish,

As you can see from the picture, they're reclaimed bricks chopped down as Dave says.

Got timed out then?. I have a 2B3 66cm "entry level" model if you want to have a blast on it. It's has the thinner base than the other models with a standard handle but it should do the job for you. If I were to buy one though it would be wider base model but hey. Let me know if you want to use this one.

I am slowly turning and thinking about buying a couple of Sigma's and sending my Rubi's on vacation

Hand on heart it will be the best move ever..

I've had Diatech ring me and we discussed the Sigma's he said he would give me a good price on them.

I've done a bit of this on a few shop fronts way back,even did a mock bungalow in a Texas diy store good thing about working there you took what you wanted of the shelves,tools and all.
