Sigma max vs standard pull score,, or montolit - Tile Advice

[Balloo]

Guys whats your view on the max series of sigma tile cutter do you think there better than the pull method i personally don't find the max as accurate.
Is montolit better

I use max because I came from rubi and also think the breaking pressure is higher than pull .

Tbh once you get used to it you know where it is . If you are doing straight cuts the measuring bar is very good . I'm not over fussy about my internal corner cuts as if they are a mm different silicone will cover and the first tile into the corner will be covered by the second . The only time I check the wheel on marks is ext corner cuts like window reveals etc and then it's a bit trickier but I would never go back to rubi . I've just done a bathroom with wickes Everest stone and I've seen loads of people ***** about them , well I would say I had a high success rate not much worse than a decent tile .

I was disappointed with the 1260 max i bought and it was the updated version apparently more sturdy with thicker bar but it pulls to the right on a 1200 plank about 10 - 15mm.
Before getting a 60cm cutter i want to know what they are like my 75cm is a dream and i keep it for precise work in bathrooms, my old 60cm is done so need a new one.
Pity the shop dont do test drives lol

Surely that's just because the ruler wasn't lined up? maybe needed calibrating? half a degree of adjustment would have taken out that 10mm. The thumb button to set the angle, doesn't the Allen key head in the centre make fine adjustments?

Also s plank doesn't have much against the bar to hold it steady

No the bar gets pulled to the right, i think either the handle when made in the cast was not perfect or the wheel slot is not made right

I agree with @jcrtiling , you get used to where the wheel lands after using it, just like how the right hand side of my measure bar cuts a couple mm bigger than the left, i just know how to account for it after using it daily.
