Sigma Stock Crisis

Best tile cutter I have ever used. Rubi TS30. Absolutely superb build quality. Beautiful cutting action, and its used for nearly every kitchen splashback. I know it cant cut porcelain cleanly, but there is still plenty of tiles it will cut. A pleasure to carry a small case, fit cutter on worktop, very good at repetitive cuts. Bought mine for £109 6 years ago - worth every penny.

...... And Rubi stopped making them..... 🙁
 
Lol @ all the replies. I have been debating about buying a 1200 instead of renting. Got stuffed again this week - customer decided to go with 900x300 instead of 600x300's previously discussed! Ended up wet cutting for the long cuts...


So whilst searching for best deals, I was intrigued at how few retailers had any large Sigmas in stock. I am Mr Rubi. Have tried Sigma 1200 (on hire). Ok its a good cutter. But is it really better than a TX1200? Its cheaper though.


If your after a tx 1200 I'm about to be selling mine, still in very good condition, with case and what not

Anyone know why Sigma is out of stock everywhere at the moment? I know you Sigma guys believe its because everyone buys them, but that doesn't explain why they don't just manufacture more cutters.
I believe Hampshire tile warehouse have some
