Tile cutter. Help - Tile Advice

[Tinman19]

Hi. I am looking for a good tile cutter.

• Any recommendations would be great,
• I do a decent amount of tiling as I fit a lot of kitchens and I quite often do the tiling aswell.
• Is sigma a good choice?
• I want one that will last.

Cheers
Phil.

Sigma would be a perfect choice. Imo.

Rubi man for years then moved over to Sigma much better cutters.

In what way do you think they are better mate?

The ts range of which I have four of are not much good for breaking at 45 deg the sigma is better for that, not rubbishing rubi as I said used them for years have got 6 of them,but tend to use the sigmas more.

Only ever had TS or TX-N's to be honest, but did buy a Sigma 5M for mosaic jobs which does what it's supposed to I suppose.

I'm in the market for a new cutter for 900 or larger tiles at the minute and interested to hear from people that have made the move over to the 'blue side' from Rubi.

The only thing that disappointed me was Sigma not supplying a case ,got one but very flimsy compare to Rubi cases.

Was just wondering if anyone has used a montolit and what their experiences with it were. I am seriously looking at getting one. A friend of mine has one and he swears by it.
