I used the new sigma 3E4M the other day,
and it is actually better than the 3M surprisingly.
It felt lighter, not checked spec tbh.
But the larger formats were definitely more stable on the machine with the addition of the two extra plates 2/3rds of the way up.
The tile doesn’t want to fall off as before which makes getting a true straight cut easier off the rear fence.
I find with the 3M that all too often where the tile wants to lean to one side this makes the scribe go off line a little if not supported properly.

A few good ideas I think, they seem to have looked at Raimondi quite closely, and overcome one or two of their irritations.
The table top wedges I think are good to lift work piece up off table, I’d want a few more tho I think.
The clamps are very good and simple, and should be inexpensive in comparison.
The best idea for me tho is the two different size tables, I think that should be a great way to keep costs down. (Hopefully)
Nothing to increase the width yet tho, although I think 100cm is better than Raimondi’s 900.
I’d happily work on a 120 with a 100 table.

I do not see anything new ...
I'm still a beginner
and I do not understand much about tables.
after a month I bought mine, they did
the version with folding legs ... every month there are news
I struggle to chase.
the large plate market has not yet reached the impact
that must have here in Italy, so I prefer to wait for retirement. 😉
before it reaches its peak.
haha
 
All that stock, and you can’t get Sigma gear in the U.K. at the moment for love nor money!

Must just be empty boxes. 😀
 
I think with all the tile cutter models they do,
they will be a dozen per model, even less.
usually in video advertising, they show many pieces available.
if that is the maximum available, I understand the long waits.
but sigma montolit and raimondi, are more artisan realities
rather than industries, a wrong patent with the
warehouse full .... and goodnight sigma,
 
Which of you recalls?
We are in 1968 and the first version of the art. 6.
Thanks to its 30 cm cutting capacity, it was at the forefront of the era, today simply one of the smallest in the range!
this did not have a cardboard box

I think rail systems are the eay to go at that size . Lifting a large tile into one of these is awkward i find it difficult putting 1200 x 1200 in to 3e3m
Can’t disagree, esp as some numpty asked me other day if I thought it was a good idea to cut a 2400 x 1200 on the width using an 1500 sigma.
I didn’t reply! 😛
Who here would like to pass a 42kg tile under a sigma rail 1200 mm to score and snap it? 😱
