Sigma Tile Cutter Series Max

It's a good thing I think. They could have made it that tilers would need to purchase a whole range of cutters. But most of the bases are the same and they made the handles interchangeable to keep costs down.

The only thing is the scoring wheels on the MAX is more expensive to replace compared to the standard wheels. The carbide wheel is set around bearings which is "vibration dampened" for cutting rough surfaces.

so it really is a simple as that derek. just undo the bolt holding the rail, then slide off the old handle and replace with the new max version? its good to see a company design a cost effective option like that rather than forcing the user into buying a new cutter. fair play to sigma!!

Sigma seem to be a No Bull S company and i like that.
And they're not like some companies making goods that will only last a few years !
'Built to last' is a so so true statement that they don't even use,lol.

cheap scapesshow me the money

That's it Ed. knock the pin out at the end and remove the handle. I will say the only thing we don't do is a small tool for the pin. I have to find something in the yard to knock it out with. then get on knees to look for the pin!

typical italians...its all about the design and the performance.

The shaft is a bit different

you have to stop going to those bars jay?

No way am i going to the other Bars

Yep. credit to Sigma for making handles interchangeable.... bit like Dewalt with there early Li-on batteries for the 18v platform and making them fit the older nimh style bodies as opposed to going with the slide style like other manufacturers..... look after your customers and they'll look after you !

i have been using Sigma for years...by far the best cutter. yes I have tried the main brands.

I've only used rubi's, I'm kinda hoping that Del will send me a sigma so that I can do a comparison test.....seeing as I got a very strange look when I went into my local indie shop with my sigma t-shirt on this week

Good to know out and about in your Sigma T. What cutter do you use most of the time?.

My 3B is very busy lately, I must give her some TLC and oil her

mine too joe, lately i've been practicing (to save time) by not marking the tile and leaving the bar at 90 degrees and using the measuring bar to the desired length and angling the tile for the difference e.g. 90mm at one end 92 mm at the other so with the tile on the 92mm mark i move one end of the tile 2mm over in one direction to get the correct cut. seems a lot quicker once you master it and more accurate than a chinagraph marker

tx 700 is my "workhorse" Del, my tx 1200n is gathering dust...ebay I think for that fella

a skip would be better

still laughing here

yes....along with King Kenny's P45.....
