Sigma Diagonale, Montolit MasterPima 63-P2 or Rubi Ti-S-66????

We find there is better visibility of the cutting line, plus as you are pulling toward yourself with one hand you can place your other hand at the far end of the machine to balance the snapping action.

The montolit drag handle is well gucci, somewhat sculptured in looks.

Hey you guys!!!!!!!!!!!! (Sorry just watched the Goonies!)

Tell you what i've never been so indecisive about buying something before. Been doing a count and the majority of people prefer the Sigma and Montolit. Going to have a look at both again and buy a machine. Good thread concerning the drag motion as I did look at it and thought it gave a better vision for the cutting line. Anway I will let you guys know what I order and when I use it i'll give an account of what I think too.:yesnod:

Hello people just purchased a Sigma 3B tile cutter and using it on Thursday 9th July so will give you an update of my opinion soon, cheers people for the input.:hurray:

Sigma All the way in my opinion, your knees or back will break before your Sigma does!! Although the diagonale for cutting 900mm tiles is a lump to carry about. Also i belive trimline sells most models.

the "which is the best cutter" debate is never ending , but i can tell you that having owned and used extensively all three (sigma , monty and rubi ) sigma and the montolit are the better cutters by far imo , you can get push or pull for both these cutters as well ...

Just come back from a job in wales and have used my Sigma to good effect now and all I can say is 'what a machine!!'. On the first day I chucked a floor tile at it that had metallic bits in and when cut looked like it had glass bits in it so I presume it was some kind of composite (not sure at all - lol) but my poor cutter wouldn't touch it as it was so hard which in turn made me think i'd made a mistake but no it was me expecting too much. Anyway it didn't even sniff at the wall tiles, so simple to use and the build quality is spot-on, the only complaint I have is the rule isn't accurate but no big deal as I prefer to rely on my measure anyway.

Overall I am well inpressed and think that it's sigma all the way now for me and maybe a little Montilit soon!!! Oh and a Dewault wet cutter, van, more tools and a new wife!!! Ha Lol.:lol:

Glad you like it, we stick more accurate rulers on. You can get them from most woodworking sites and have a self adhesive backing.
