1200mm polished porc

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

No expert by any means but have been reading up a little bit and testing on some porcelain———With a tile on the bed and the breaker flat on the tile. Leave a 5mm gap here. If the breaker isn’t low enough then increase the gap.

The hole for the arm is knock out. I just did it on mine. Took two taps with a hammer.

It's easier than that: drop the breaker foot onto the tile.
The foot should be sitting flat on the tile face.
If not, adjust the bar up or down until the foot is flat on the tile.

Get that right at both ends of the tile and you're done.
 
It’s true- Having the breaker foot flat on the tile is the equivalent of lining up the top of the square on the handle with the top of the guide which is what sigma suggests. I think that the arm needs to be raised when attempting the porcelain James De has though as that is too aggressive.
 
I've really never had an issue my any of my sigmas, once it's set it suits most tiles really I find. With the foot down, 5mm gap on top of the rail, that's what I managed to get from the sigma book.
 
I must admit, so far it’s been tip top for me on the two tile types I’ve tried 😀

I’m just trying to find possible reasons why the 1200mm Porc aren’t cutting for James De.
