The Great Sigma Tile Cutter Survey!!! - TilersForums.com

[Aston]

to all sigma users...knowing what you know now and the fact that larger tiles have become more poular, then would you go for the 3b 63cm or the 3d 75cm??

i was looking at a sigma 6 (35cm fwith 45 degree angle attachment) splashbacks etc Amoroc Tools: Suppliers of Quality Tile Cutters

and either a 3b 63cm or 3d 75cm.....

what do you guys think?
whats your perfect combination??

Most of the time 63cm is fine. I dont think there is such a thing as a perfect cutter for all jobs. Mine will cut anything i use but it has downfalls because of its size in smaller bathrooms and kitchens. If i know i am doing lots of kitchens i have an option of 1, struggling with the big Sigma, 2 I have an old smaller Sigma, 3 i have a Rubi star or 4 i can borrow a TS40.

In kitchens neale is this purely because you like a cutter on the worktop area..?

I never put it on a worktop, i would rather use the floor or my hop up but we must have smaller kitchens down this way.

Go for the 75cm Ed,
i seen it sitting beside the 63cm on saturday in a local shop,the 75cm has a side support arm which is not on the 63! plus the extra 12" would come in handy for more room moving the tile about.i might change my 63 to a 75 sometime! or replace with a push cutter:8:

just for a change Dave, i find my monty nice to use and i really like the look of the alloy rubis.
i have been trained on sigmas but as long as your cutter does the job proper that all you need.
I keep an open mind on tools,had one of them dewalt lasers in my hand today too,the joiner had one,very nice and useful
