Sigma 3b3m manual cutter...

[Lexter]

Hi all my names Lex and I've been a long time lerker but never posted before. I've had loads of questions and always found the answers so hence the reason not posting.
The experience on this forum is invaluable and I've learnt tons. Thanks for your help.
I'm originally a plaster/decorator and have been working with a tiler on and off for years picking up tips and technics.
The reason I've come out the woodwork is I was going to treat myself to a sigma 3b3m max for this current job. My question is my customer said they had ordered 60x60 tiles but when I checked they are 61. Would the sigma 3b3m max cut this? I'm hoping someone who has one could let me know before I buy it.
Thanks in advance for your time
Lex

Get a sigma that cuts 700mm, makes it bit more of an all rounder.

Welcome to the forum.

As for that cutter...... Here it is-
Sigma 3B3M MAX Manual Tile Cutter - 605mm (push to score) - previously 3B2M £209.95 in stock - next day UK delivery plus Tile Cutters and Tiling Tools

It says that the maximum straight cut length is 605mm, the maximum length of tile on bed is 650mm (can only score 605mm) and that the largest tile cut diagonally is 425mm x 425mm

Hope this helps

Thanks, I was looking at the 700 but the budget did not allow me. I was trying to kerb my spending, I'm terrible with tools and I've run out of room in the house to keep them. I recently purchase the rubi wet saw thinking that's all I'll ever need manual cutters save so much time.
I may have to bite the bullet and go for 700. Unless anyone can recommend another cutter for around the same price below £250.

If you change the model of sigma to a pull handle , the scribe length is greater than the max series on a 600 cutter.

So a 3b.

Many thanks for replies I decided to not be cheap and go for the 700 sigma.
Many thanks
