Sigma Klick klock handle to pull handle.

[DHTiling]

I have a 3bk and i like the KK handle but thought i would try out the pull handle that i so like on my Sigma 2G cutter...

Well , what a difference... i thin it depends on each tiler who use Sigma cutters but the pull handle is deffo quicker and with the smaller foot it is a dream to get small cuts from larger tiles that cutters with a large foot plate cannot cut off, no way on this planet would my TX700 cut 20mm or so off a porcelain tile , but this pull handle does no probs what so ever..


So i can highly recommend the pull handle for Sigma users if you have not yet tried it on your larger cutters..



I have the KK handle on my 3Ek 1250mm cutter but i think that is probs perfect for that format of cutter as the power of the KK handle is in its own league on that size cutter..

Thanks to Sigma for swapping the handle over for me..

Told ya !

Nice one Dave. I think if you can master the original handle then it will work perfectly fro you. I do know that the tilers who use this handle will not swap them over as they are quick and easy to use.

 

[DHTiling]

I know i know Neale... you have the right to abuse me over being so adamant all those years that my Rubi cutters were better :lol: ... i now know better and love my sigmas ... and the wheels just go and go and go ... no collapsing like the rubi ones..

It is hard to gauge on the 2G for speed as it is only a small cutter but on the 600mm cutter the pull handle is so much quicker...

Tough tools are Sigma.
Hard working tools for hard working tilers

I bought a 3A with a pull handle but it was my first try and did'nt seem right so changed the handle for a KK, may give the pull another try.

 

[Andy Tiler]

Pull handle all day long!!!!,

 

[hillhead]

All my Sigmas are pull and quick, it's all about what we're used to.

 

[stephenoneill]

It's a 7A 33cm cutter?. Need a new sponge base. Does it still cut though?.

 

[mz30]

yes have used it today on some porcelonasa formas blanco and on a madras arena floor tile cut great ,with a new wheel

 

[Sigma UK]

Thats a ceramic tile no?. Least it still works. I did find a rare looking Sigma at a shop in Norfolk still with the original labels on it. Will search the computer for the pic and post it. 70's style.

 

[mz30]

The formas is a ceramic wall tile the madras is a solid non slip floor tile and i mean harder than porcelain,how old is the model i have?

 

[Gazzer]

before after Believed to be dated around mid 70`s I think.

We still sell them!. There still in the brochure on the same page as the 7F 37cm. you can still get the pads, handle & slide guide for them. Not sure when they started making them but I can find out. you may have an early one.

 

[mz30]

What model is that ? sir ramic? i have a similar one but my trays have holes in also own another one which is just under a 600 cutter and i have never seen one before or after the same

Nice!!. That's an early one too. It has the alloy screw to raise the bar and if I remember this model is from the 70's for sure. Nice paint job.

From what i was told today its been in the yard for at least 10 years and my boss said it was the cutter he gave to apprentices and the oldest apprentice remembers having it and hes in his early 40's but wasnt sure if he had it from the off,if he did its 20+ yrs old.

It's good they last so long. (for you lot not for me that is.) I will ask Italy when they started making this model.

While your asking mate ask if we can buy cutters at cost

Pull handle is the best set up below a metre, then Klick Klock after that. Great system but a bit too slow and cumbersome unless you really need the extra power. Doubt a standard pull handle could snap a thick 1200 as well as a Kk.
