*Works well for a DIY home improvement job **MyBest.Tools** A little sloppy in the cut. Water reservoir is too small. Cut one 20" tile - time to refill.*
Been using sigma for almost 30 years had a rubi when i started switched to Sigma when i needed to upgraded and never looked back, Still have my first sigma still cuts
like a charm
Fantastic cutter. The pull became more natural when I started grabbing the handle up closer to the bend. Then you can lock the long part of the handle up into your forearm, and just move your whole arm (or body) backwards. It’s easier, at least for me, to keep a constant speed and pressure that way especially with a longer cut. Anyways just a tip if anyone’s still listening, lol.
2 years later ... It doesn't look like there are a lot of vids on youtube highlighting the differences, I'd love to see both the pull and push in action before I decide on what to get.
I've been using sigma cutters for 40 years simple easy to use, i've have other makes but always go to the van and pull out the sigma
I bought the 50" rip cut / 35-7/16" diagonal cut version (Sigma 3E4M) of this tile cutter. Other than having a greater cutting capacity, the unit I purchased has two extension support arms on each side, two transport wheels on the end and a push style handle (worth the extra cost in my opinion). It has been a great purchase and I would highly recommend the Sigma tile cutters.
Referring the the 3E4M model; I have seen several installers remove and install the cutter handle turned around 180' and use a push scoring stroke moving towards the fence instead of the factory installation design of a push scoring stroke that goes away from the fence. That is my preferred method of using this cutter as it helps to keep the tile tight against the fence and I'm not having to lean over the fence end of the cutter.
The cutter would need the max handle to be used as a push cutter, the cutter above is a pull cutter that cannot be pushed
This is what I've used for a long time. I recently got the 24" montolit and am going to buy the 36 and 48" montolit.. its the best
@The man From Nantucket i find that the measurements on my are dead on and if I need an angle cut I just line up the center line to the tile and its on always. I used a sigma for years but happy my the montolite. My sigma is collecting dust for couple years now
@@matts5771 agreed Matt. I've had sigma for years and only changed to montolit a couple of months ago. I wouldn't go back to sigma...no way.
Sigma is very good tile cutter, I’m using sigma 39,5 “ push-click handle. It’s heavy but works perfect.
I've got one and it is definitely worth the money. I do tile showers for a living and wouldn't do it without this cutter. By the way I love your videos and have bought several tools after you have reviewed them!! Haha
Hell yeah brother! appreciate the support 👊
@@LandbergTileTV no man I appreciate you and your knowledge!! I've adopted a lot your techniques and several of your tools. I would have enjoyed to have been your apprentice, but I've had to learn on my own and you and Sal have helped me get to where I'm at now.
Landberg great review of the mighty sigma cutter ,and great to see your support for ken huds tiling with your t shirt,were all one big tile family
Yes sir, we are all COMRADES
I bought 2 of these bad boys last week. Love it, thank you sir
I purchased one and for some reason its inconsistent. Sometimes I get good clean cuts and sometimes it breaks the tile. I have adjusted the height of the bar and lowered it with the same results, and have tried everything I know to do. I just can't figure out what I am doing wrong. If you own one and happen to read this please give me some input. i don't even use it on jobs now (I would like to, but don't) because it hasn't been dependable for me. On the other hand, I have a 14 inch sigma and it works great, I love it. so not sure what is going on. Maybe it has a bad wheel. Not sure.
I noticed u grabbing the end of the handle. If u grab the front of the handle by the groves its much easier
I have 95cm sigma same series. It's the best tile cutter. You can cut with this one even only 1 cm parts of tiles.
Sigma are great cutters but will always go for the Montolit because of the repetitive cut option with the measure square stop.
A MAX push handle on that machine would be magic!
Top line tile cutter is the best 😉
If it had the Maxx version, it would be. My hand and wrist doesn't like pull cutters.
GO Berg!
Great Stuff.
Should get a max series cutter as far superior handle on it.
Will check it out!
The sigma max vs monolith
@@islanddan4302 the Montolit cutters are good but I wouldn’t swap my Sigma max series for any of them.
Cost too much to swap anyway as I’ve 5 Sigmas.
@@LandbergTileTV lot better handle on the max series Sigmas. 👍🏻👍🏻
@MrGreegor69 I checked with one of my local suppliers they said they wouldn’t be able to get me one for at least 4months, lol I guess I’ll have to try somewhere else
Got the same cutter at home, but the only thing that's not clear to me is how to set the proper height for the bar? The manual is not clear where to measure from.
Best tile cuter brand ; 👍
Excellent info as always. Thank you.
I have the same cutter. it is a definite time saver
I'm in sure id like the metal spring loaded plates V's the rubber pads. Seems like it'd be slippery. My old Qep 24 inch got burned in a fire and melted the handle and messed up the rubber. So been looking into a replacement. The biggest tiles I've laid is 24 x 24 cept for the plank wood look porcelain. And my Qep cut that fine. I do tile periodically, so don't need a 600 dollar snap cutter. Pretty though. Thanks for the show.
Check Montolit 24, I've had mine for five years now and still going strong...around 400 dollars I think
Im from india tile fitter your video very helpful my work improve watch your videos
Great tile cutter. The only downside is the the price, but quality tools cost money.
I don’t like the fact that cuts backwards. But other than that looks amazing. 👌🏼
It is strange at the beginning, but I find it more reliable because you can't accidentally push smaller tile away.
Sigma always going to be the number 1
Can u switch the bar around to go from push to pull?
What up man !!! You should make a comparison video vs the Montolit 36 Inch P3 Masterpiuma going head to head !!!
Will do! 👊
Yes go for it bro !!!! I'll be watching out for it among many other tile guys !!
Great review. Can this cut tiles less than 45 degrees, for example at 20 degrees, mostly find the tiles cannot snap at the end? Thank you so much.
Yes it will
I ordered the Max version of this cutter and received it...seems as though the only difference between this and the "max" is the cutting handle itself...
so you had the regular pull handle and now have the max push? i always had the sigma pulls but have a montolit push and find it a bit harder to see the blade for cutting mark to mark on the monty, so my question is, do you find it just as easy to align the blade to marks on the tile from the pull handle compared to your new push handle?
hi from Italy! were all tile "world" begin ;) nice video!
Cool, thanks!
Do you prefer sigma over montolit? I just got a sigma but not sure if i should have gotten the montolit. Hi from ChicagoUSA
The best tile cutter brand ou thete👍
Hi everybody, what’s the consensus on the sigma vs montolit? Is the sigma much better of a deal or buy over the montolit? Or does it basically only come down to the push vs pull method of scoring the tile?
Sigma has a push handle as well
For porcelain, push style is a must!
Love sigmas. Just got another one. A 3E4M. And i love it
Hey. you should stand on the side with an arc and when you are cutting tiles, you should push the handle, then it will be convenient to cut.
I use 37 cm, 95 cm and 129. 129 is the most comfortable handle ♥
thats a pull Style handle
Agree, nice handle, but my studio is a bit small with not many angles to stand.
there is still an option, turn the handle 180 degrees.
@@NikitenkoAntonio but turning it makes no sense when its a pull handle
@@Pedro.Chapps i keep hearing this. I have 2 siggy pull handles and you really can't use it as a push cutter unless you grab it way way down near the feet like almost at the blade, which is just not the way its designed. If you want to use a push handle you can simply buy one from sigma and install it . I think people are getting confused and what they have is the max handle instead of the regular pull handles
Great tools. We use these cutters.
Another great video!
Du machst immer super Videos ich verfolge alle immer und bin begeistert. Nur in diesem leider verwendest du die Maschine falsch du musst den Griff ganz unten nehmen und nur zum brechen umgreifen dann erst hast du volle Kontrolle und kannst die Maschine voll ausreizen. PS. Ich mach den Job seit über 30 Jahren und das ist meiner Meinung nach die beste fliesenschneidmaschiene am markt
Sigma best tile cutter been using it for the las 20 years
I'm not sure ... is this the series 3 or 4?
Why you always hit the handler after you cut tiles, why you dont just press?
Anyone had issue with this cutter or any other sigma? I used sigma for over 15 years, different kids. Purchased also this exact few months ago. Have a problem with it, basically out of the box.... rail seems somewhat flexible sideways, and when scoring the rile, it doesnt cut straight.... every single tile on length (24 inch to 36 inch tile), cuts like a ski on the farter end of tile, near the ruller no problem, good straight cut.. basically, 1/8 or 2mm difference which is unacceptable, especially after using and owning 4 other sigmas, never issues . Anyone can help with advice?
Representing huds😍
Great video and I may buy one .Need your guidance please. My client shower pan tile is not properly angled to the drain and The DIY installer used a flat pan extension with inadequate incline. Also the pan tiles are not perfectly laid. My plan is top coat the tiles with a LFT thin set which I will carefully slop to existing drain ,let dry and then lay new floor tiles. Any suggestions please!
The
Definitely don't want to use lft for sloping...I would grind face of tile to remove finish...followed by a laticrete 254 Platinum skim coat and use laticrete 3701 to fix slope.
I have this tile cutter, but when doing longer cuts, the break veers off to one side, not sure what I'm doing wrong or if I need a new wheel.
great review
Do you know where I can buy a legit sigma online that ships to Hawaii
Can you cut small tiles with the biggest sigma? I know ist heavy.
Are you going to do a review on the rigid 7” tile saw?
I have a review on the 8" but can do one on the 7" also 👊
I bought this cutter few weeks ago. Unfortunately, my cutter is not cutting sqaure tile, even 600mm x 600mm tiles. Always bottom side and top side 2mm different. I feel so sad.
Hello Sir , fence-square is 💯 dead on but yours probably damaged unintentionally and needs replacement(bended) !! Not to worry as sigma offers 3 year warranty ! Check your bill-contact sigma or seller ! Wish u sort it quickly . Good day
Hello sir.
I am manjindr from india punjab .
I also do tiels work.
I have 2 piece of tiels cutter . R.k
But sigma is my favourite .
I want to do tiel working with u.
Which country from u sir.
The exact cutter i want!
Nice Manual cutter, but I think I still like Montolit Better, once again great video. “FLIP”
I agree, nice cutter but Montolit is our go to 👊
The backwards handle looks like it would be extremely awkward to use. One thing I like about Montolit is the spring loaded foot piece on the handle for snapping
You can get
In front of it and push it.
I can attest, it definitely looks more awkward than it really is.
Two different cutters and you can get used to both 👊
Definitely not hard to use been using sigma 31 years and still got my first that still cuts a treat new wheels only about £6 in Scotland sigma all the way
The handle is supposed to be turned the other way, as per instructions, before operating. Less awkward that way
Which store has a better offer for this tool?
Look sigma #OsmaUsta

Hi Pal, do you prefer the montolit or the sigma, my rubi tx700 finally needs replacing
look better at the new rubi
Just got this bad boy
How can I get it I live in California
Kaufmann superline 920 🙏
Best in the world
Hey just got the bigger one got long tiles any tips ?
Dribble or brush some WD40 on your cut prior to scoring it. Helps greatly with cuts snapping straight. This was a trick we used many years ago. So much so, Montolit now incorporates a WD40 packet into their cutters.
Which is the best one sigma or montolit?
Sigma is a superior tile cutter.
Sigma is no1 tile cuter 👍👍👍
Does £490 gbp sound correct price for a new one ?
The Montolit is better
