Sigma kera cut issues

[Balloo]

Hi guys I bought the sigma kera cut in 2015 with everything that comes with it about £1800. reason for buying was cutting 1800mm stone , I thought it was cheaper than to buy riamondi wet saw and I could use later for large tiles .
Well on a few occasions I've been trying to cut 1500mm -2000mm x10mm tile and with the sigma breaker they just wont break clean . sigma claim they can cut up to 10mm thick but I would dispute that

Why don't you contact sigma and have chat with them . Maybe get your local rep to see you .

 

[Balloo]

Funny thing is the shops that I work with seem to be popularizing the small tile back into fashion

 

[Dumbo]

Maybe sell it then . But see if you can remove this thread first

I personally have no experience of it myself so unable to comment. @3_fall uses one regularly for thin porcelain as does @antonio and a few other people who may be able to offer up their opinion

Yes Geoff I use the Kera cut, Antonio uses the freecut. Sounds similar tho! 😀

Exactly what are you trying to cut @Balloo?

3 fall do you have any issues like this on 10mm

Which breaker are you using with the 10mm. The old type hand plier is no good on anything above 6mm in my experience. You need the wind up breaker for 6mm to 20mm.

What make of tile is it?

 

[Old Mod]

Some 10mm are extremely difficult to break on the length.
I get a higher success rate with two people with two breakers at same time, tightened slowly at same time.
It’s not the system, it’s the tile.
The Raimondi freecut struggles with the same tiles. (Make)

A plank tile?
You’re not asking too much of it with thin cuts are you?
Not trying to be clever, just curious.
Do you break one end and then go to the other and break again?
I think the best you could hope for is around
50-60mm Off cut.

I did 150x20 with freecut,
no problem.
is the same as cutting a 120 cm.
you should not have any problems with casabella,
it is still florim ...
geoff, I'm not the man of the big format. 😉

I have a sigma kera cut ... bought to do 14 bathrooms on XL porcelain, but all the tiles were 3mm and 6mm thick. Never tried to cut 10mm tile with it.
