It’s always baffled me tbh, I appreciate the beds need to flex, but why they could never seem to get height of the arms right is a mystery.
Hopefully now, it’s not such a concern.
I have had a go with one before, and was suitably impressed.

Yes arm height seems really stupid . I think those extra bed plates down the end should be good as I have tiles chip when they have snapped then fallen of the spine .

Yeah they are useful Jerry, especially with the thin tile, catching an edge on the thin stuff generally has far more risk of shelling than with something of 12mm.
I have had about a day’s use with one, and became more cofident putting oversized pieces thro.
There are plenty of times when I’ve used them to cut the top off of something fairly narrow like an 800, but it’s been 2.4 in length.

I'm thinking about doing some sort of mod on my 3e3m

Well looking at new version, it would really easy to adapt the 3m tbh mate.
There’s nothing complicated about new set up.
I’ll try remember to take some images tomorrow and show you.
Remind me if I forget.

I use makeshift platforms of foam core backer board with my 3e3m to stop the tiles slipping off of the bed. The new purpose made cutter looks good

The biggest issue I have with my 3e4m is space to set it up and creating a platform to use it on as I can't stand using it on the floor

I use mine on a keter table

God knows how you fit it on that table as my 3e3m goes on one but over hangs, must be a bit unstable. You need a spare room just to set it up ?

For planks one table is fine. For 600x1200's I use 2. 2 was fine for 1500x750 too

sorry if I interfere, but me
if I need a sigma for large formats,
I would have no doubts about choosing XL12c1 up.
I've never tried it, but it gives me a strong impression.
even if for now, I'm enough and advances my battipav 160
with its 20kg
(as you know I like to explore and not listen to others)

Why don’t you try an aluminium foldable hop up.

I'm not sure they're big enough are they? Well at least to use the support arms as well.. I may have to buy another Keter so I can use 2 side by side like @hmtiling
