Dude, u got to keep these videos coming. Not many people on your level in KZfaq

Great review. I have had the Montolit for over a year and you are pretty spot on. It's a fantastic cutter, with a few minor nits. One thing I'll do is put a sponge under the support bar if doing larger tile. It seems to give the support bar a bit less flex so you can control your cut more.

Thank you sir!! I have the 36” Sigma on its way to my local Dal. We’re doing some 31.5” square tiles, hoping I’ll only need the wet saw or grinder for my door and corner cut outs.

I agree ,either or both are as good as they get....I also have both along with almost all of the others available....45 years and still working

Great movie. Very important nuances are indicated that are omitted by most reviewers. Thank you.

I have 2 siggys and a monty and both are great but I agree that if I only could have one it would be the sigma. My sigmas are both pull handles which I always have preferred as I grew up with the superior line of tile cutters and cutting mark to mark I find it more difficult to see with the Monty

Great video! Thanx!

I own both cutters and I have to say that these cutters are the best neither one is better than the other they both cut like butter I recommend both

Thanks for the video,I was torn between the 2 but now I'm sold on the mont

Excellent video and comparison!

Great review thanks

How well do they cut a narrow width will the cut as low as .25"

I've been using my 20" Brutus for nearly 20 years. I think I paid around $100 for it at the time with a nice case. Over the last few years the huge plank tile craze has been going on. I bought a cheap-ish 36" QEP Slimline cutter and it cuts like a dream, perfect every time. Now, the build quality, while decent, is not overbuilt like the Sigma's, Montolit's, Rubi's, etc, but for about 1/3 or less of the price it's a steal. The plank fade is already starting to fade, so there are going to be a lot of tile setters with $600 tile cutters collecting dust sooner rather than later. And in 20 years old timers will be reminiscing about those vintage huge tile cutters we use to use decades ago when huge tile were in vogue..

Great comparison from an actual tile guy! I bought the montolit last year. It's a great cutter, and the stop is my favorite option also. We do alot of plank tile and it rips as small as 3/4" on a 36" plank! However, the guide bar on the left side broke in half, so they are cheap metal guides. Overall the Montolit is a great cutter for pros!

... on the Sigma... you can set the handle for pull or push .... just remove it and twisted.... its working in both ways.....

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I am a carpenter by trade and I have just gotten 10 metres of smart looking porcelain to do my bathroom . The tile is made in Saudi Arabia - the last time I was in Saudi - the only thing it was good for , were car crashes and crude . Credit to the Saudi's for diversifying. The old boy who sold me the tile told me that it can't be cut with a score and snap - after I had paid for it. . The young man at another store assures me that porcelain can be scored and snapped - Duh like who is telling the truth ? My girls and my wife are telling me just to take it back and get some easy ceramic . What - like that cheap fake travatine that I did the shower in ?. I wont be taking the tile back - as if it was a dress that doesn't fit . I really dont want to hire a cumbersome /expensive/noisy/wet tile saw. I am looking to invest in a serious score and snap. This video is helping me with my choice. I really appreciate well engineered tools - be it a hand tool or powered , but try explaining the concept of a decent tool to your wife !! I

I'm happy you uploaded this mate. I'm currently right in the middle of a tiling course, the tutor has 1 sigma and multiple genesis dual rails - favouring the genesis, all pupils use them also. However I pulled the sigma out today for the first time, having used the dual rail up until now to see which one I prefer and have to say I like the sigma, although the pull handle will take some getting used to. It feels solid & more accurate. I may be purchasing one myself in the near future. What is your opinion on the dual rail style cutters? Cheers.

Very important point made here in the video.the Monty's weakness is the bar. IV had mine bend either by tripping over it on the ground or having it in the back of my truck,where it either fell or had something fall on it.my point being that it could be constructed of a stronger metal.but overall after 5 years of use it's a good nachine

The accuracy on the measurement bar on the montolit is amazing. It’s dead on the money which is awesome because so many times these things are not, like the scale on my dewalt saw is over a 1/16 off. Thanks for the review!

I bought a 36 inch Monty and now a 14 inch I like them so much

I own the montolit P3 and the minipuma. My Father always had Sigmas when I was Kid. Never owned one myself.

Can you tell sum about this Sigma 3D4M and Montolit P5?

Tried the rubi tools tz you see the best one

Hello, you mounted the handle cutter on sigma wrong, the other way.. I have the same model, got it new and it actually cuts the opposite way as yours and is perfect that way. You can just take apart and flip the handle, it cuts awesome..

who is the winner?

Hi! I own Monty 36 push and Monty 24 pull with as well accessories like baseboard stop and mosakit. Push version is great for left handed tilers, pull version is ok, but way inferior to Sigma same version (great for scoring but pain to break). Push version witch is the newer model has a big problem: doing out of square cuts, it's pain to see the marks and some tiles don't break as it should (yeah, I know...there's tones of tutorials of how to cut this type of tile or the other, with self adjustable handle is all about the pressure you put in, but after a day of troweling floors you don't have the same sensitivity in your arm and then is when it cuts in curves). Monty is way to much advertising (tons and tons of videos). Sigma don't need that. As a matter of fact don't even have videos on all their products (looking to buy 3E4M and I was curios about the front measure Art 90E4...no videos on internet, also I own Sigma's washboy mop version...far superior to Rainmondi's Pedalo). I never owned a Max version, but I learned alot from your videos and I'll go for 1 or 2 because I was very pleased with pull versions, btw you can turn the handle around if want to push against bar (seen this in many videos), but is better the way you have it now. Cool video, thanks for showing! Much appreciated

Where can I buy a sigma I need 26 inches and the 48

now that's an opinion i can trust

Comparison between a ferrari and a suzuki jimmy . Montolit copied the Sigma but for patent reasons had to make it different in at least 7 points .good effort but no comparison at all .If you want to cut muliple tiles same size with sigma you can as well, (you didn't show that option.) Montolite is good for amatuers .Sigma is for Pro tiling.

Basically what youre saying is, buy both!

Didnt cut one tile thanks a lot lol

Sigma is the best

Do these cut marble mosaics

all you have to do is flip the cutting handle around bro on the sigma

Sigma is hands down better, especially for herringbone and chevron patterns.

So basically you still like sigma better Monti but had no choice and purchased Monti because sigma wasn't available in stock .

Sigma best

The sigma cutter is pull cutter the montolit is a push cutter fyi

ребята не покупайте монтилит это полное дерьмище, во первых ручка, когда её подтягиваешь чтобы она не люфтила, то ей не возможно работать у неё становится очень тугой ход, а если ослабить, то она не то что люфтит, она просто болтается как будто на вашу ногу 41 размера одели башмак 45 размера, во вторых, между площадкой и линейкой дыра и когда начинаешь ломать плитку задняя часть плитки поднимается потому что передняя часть плитки проваливается в эту дыру, в третьих, линейка клееная, то ли силикон, то ли ещё что, возможно когда пересохнет со временем будет отклеиватся на краях, в четвёртых керамогранит 10 мм. не ломает. в пятых, станина на монти на 93 состоит из двух скрученных болтами частей, 120 из трех частей ну и дальше наверное то же, в шестых, линейка на всех станках стандартная 63 см в одну сторону и что то около 25 в другую.

Not very good definition
