Sigma tile cutter, tile support arms

[DHTiling]

Can these be added to cutters without them..?

You can buy the arms as parts but they sit on a bracket cast into the body, so would say if you're retrofitting one then you'd need to fabricate some sort of custom bracket for it to attach by.

The support arms are something you can never have enough of, but I think Sigma have missed a trick by not putting them on machines under 750. Have to use a knee pad/shovel/hand etc when cutting 10mm off.

ahh reet.. so only the larger cutter have them as standard..

Yes you can add side supports to the cutters. Their also not expensive if you wanted one.

I already asked Italy about this and say you can add them if you want to. the big cutters do already have them though.

How do they attach? Can you get a mount built on that can just be drilled and bolted?

Same as him

 

[Aston]

they look to me as though you'd have to drill through

I think they come with everything you need for it. I will double check with Italy what you get when you want to fit a new arm but im sure its complete with what you need.

I think you do. I have sent out with orders from Italy some arms and they havent called to ask how they are fitted so all good there. Monday i can confirm this though.

Had a look and seen that the 3 series cutters have a blank fitting in the body that it can just be drilled straight into but the old 4a/5b style have the bracket on the side so looks like it would be easily done on yours Dave, different for the older machines.

I have an arm on the left hand side of the 3DM but if it could be done then I would like one on the other side too but it would mean losing the handle. No biggy, if needed I have used spare tiles on the right of the cutter to rest the tiles on.

No problem. I see if there are any pics i can find about changing them.
