What brand of Tile cutter do you use Poll 2013. - Tile Advice

What else have you used, Stef?

Started with Rubi cutters years ago, TS range, they are good cutters but have their limitations.
Used & liked the TX range of Rubis, still own a TR 400, (very similar)
Bought & still have a Tomecanic SuperCoup 75, an absolute brute of a cutter but more for just harder porcs as it splits the face of a glazed tile.
Tried a couple of sigmas (pull cuts) & didn't like them, ended up buying the max series of Sigmas & they are brilliant cutters, great all round machines..

What a nice collection And what do you use for small glazed tiles? Tr?

I use a Sigma 2G, I didn't real like it to start with as this is a pull cut but once you get your hand position sorted then it's a great little cutter.
The Sigmas are great on glazed tiles as it's a gentle score on the tile & a quick snap.

I know 2G is quite common as a small tile cutter, but just wonder if it's not a problem to score not having seen the scoring line.

It's something you get used to, I did struggle to start with but once you work out where to place the tile then it's easy.

OK. Let's hope it's really easy.
And why not 7F?

I had never tried the 7f & tbh I was looking for a small compact cutter & the 2g fitted the bill perfectly..

Ok, so now I know that 7F can be as well. It's the same size & offers exactly the same capabilites except angle cutting. But if you do kitchens it probably doesn't matter, does it?
