Sigma 3B/3BM v Rubi TX 700 - TilersForums.com

I prefer my tx700 .

Not anymore i don't..... Sigma all the way...

I had my son tiling a floor and he likes the TX , so i had a go to see how it felt... jeeeez what a faff on after using the Sigma for a while now and the action of the TX is so so jerky, never noticed this before but after being spoilt by the smoothness of the Sigma it stood out when i tried the TX...

So he can have the TX all to himself.. :lol:

I'm jumping ship soon, going to change to Sigma.
Had a wee shot of one a couple of weeks back when working with fitters from Porcelanosa,
It was an older model with a pull handle but I'm looking at the max so I can have a push handle.
I will be giving Dave at Diatech a call shortly.

Klick klock is push handle as well

Yeah, looked at that but think I'm for going for a max,
Not sure what size yet.
Love my tomechanic for porcelain but if cutting larger glazed tiles it leaves the edge ruff, even when I hardly score the tile,
I've hardly used my Rubis so they are going up for sale.
Need the space in the garage & need the dosh!!

Knowing me I will end up buying 2 or 3 Sigmas.
Looking at a mini montolit for kitchens & smaller tiles also,
Currently using a rubi 300 tr but just looking for a change.

Get the Sigma 2G for smaller tiles... proper cutter..

Cheers Dave, will go where I get one cheapest.
Fancied a mini montolit just because of the price & size.
Fed up trying to find a space for my rubi box when your working.

 

[Stef]

Just looked at a 2g on eBay, didn't realise they were as cheap as that.
Belter of a wee cutter.
Sigma all the way for me soon!!
