Sigma

[Italy]

1. Scoring towards yourself is easy to get use to, but optional.
2. There are two other handle designs that you don't have to flip the handle with.
3. You can in fact see the point of contact between the wheel and tile.
4. You can also get a box .
In the link below have a look at a Sigma 3C3M, which you can get a 24AE handle for as well and also the carry case is art no:43
The 24AE handle is a pull towards you handle which is good for fast cuts.
The 3C3M machine has a push away from you handle with a drop down breaker with a simple action, for breaking the hardest of tiles ( which would laugh at a Rubi)
There is also a Klick Klock handle that you push away then flip the handle to break the tiles, Antonio's preferred choice.
They are all very easy to use and go through tiles very easily, a Rubi is ok for smaller formats and easy cuts, but simply don't compare to a Sigma. It would be the best money you'll have spent in your tiling career 😉

Cheapest I can see is £288 for the 72.5 max model, then £53 for a box. Any better about? There is no ctd near me and I am not registered there.

I bought mine through Diatech, they priced matched the cheapest price I could get.
You don't need a case for a Sigma, they are robust machines.

The box makes transporting and storage miles easier

Trying to find a space for the box when your on the job would remind me of going back to a Rubi.

How do you get to jobs, on a bicycle? You can put it back in your van when you go back to get your lunch box..

Rubi is designed to sit onto of its own box, I need a box with the sigma to store it in the van better, I don't have a massive van

I have a combo and the cutter would take up to much space without the box so I can stack stuff up nice and neat
