Sigma 3c3m help, score wheel no longer lines up - Tile Advice

[llevram]

hello, my sigma cutter is a about 3 months old. For some reason the score wheel is now aligned to the right of the center mark on the measure bar, ya anyone else come across this problem or know of a fix?
Very frustrating as every Mark/cut has to be manually aligned up with the score wheel.

Cheers

Do you have a picture of the problem?

My 3c3m has always cut 1mm to right of the bottom spine, I know where to line up no probs

We always use 2 marks unless cuts to walls with no skirts

Mine doesn’t cut square. If you use the measurement bar it’s off by about 1 - 2mm over the length of a 600 tile

My ts 40 used to cut out of square

My ts60 didn't like porcelain

I've used sigma for years and other than occasionally mucking out the hole which the measure bar pivots in, they're problem free. OPs problem is weird, sounds like the handle isn't true on the bar somehow.

As for rubi... How come there are so many "free maintenance" events at trade shows?! Why so many spare parts made?
How many tilers switch to sigma from rubi versus sigma to rubi?!

My Sigma is slightly off centre too but it cuts square when adjusted.

I just allow for the .5mm to 1mm measuring bar being out.

Have a go at this Andy

You may need a new adhesive measurement tape, part no: Art 107125 etc.
