Regarding 'shocking' the tile, you shouldn't really ever have to. If the tile takes a bit of extra effort to break then it can be broken by 'jimmying' the breaker getting firmer and firmer. Sometimes if you bang the handle you'll end up chipping the tile.
The Sigma's are getting more and more powerful all the time too. The 4a and 5a 'old style' cutters with the one sided diagonal guage will cut anything but need slightly more pressure on the breaker. The newer style machines with the two sided swivel will snap a tile with half the effort, which is virtually the same sort of pressure that you'd use to type a text message. :lol:
Must make a tutorial some day for those hoping to make the switchover regarding techniques and methods. Some people find the pull bars easier to get used to if they hold the tail of the handle up with their other hand until they develop enough technique to do it one handed. As for holding the handle, a scribe should be made by holding your hand on the bend. Snapping should be done approx 10-20mm from the rule.

Maybe Derek (pompey jay) might send me one to try and compare against my TX 🙂 🙂

Didn't realise Pompey Jay was actually Sigma UK, just thought he was another zealous tiler.
In that case, I'll have a couple of Sigma t shirts in size Large for all the good work I've been doing in promoting your brand.
