Sigma Series Tecnica – 66 cm Cutting Length, Pull-handle Scoring
Sigma Series Tecnica – 66 cm Cutting Length, Pull-handle Scoring
The Sigma Serie Tecnica 2B3 is a manual tile cutter with a 26 in. (66 cm) cutting length and a pull-handle scoring action for cutting ceramic and porcelain tile.
It works in two movements: the scoring wheel is drawn across the glaze on the pull stroke, then the breaker foot snaps the tile along the scored line. Sigma rates the machine for tile from 0.12 in. to 0.75 in. thick (3–19 mm) and builds it compact for work in restricted spaces.

Who Is This For?
Tile setters and remodelers cutting ceramic and porcelain up to 26 in. on site, in occupied rooms or in tight spaces where a wet saw cannot be set up. The 0.12 in. to 0.75 in. (3–19 mm) thickness range covers standard wall and floor tile.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size tile will the Sigma 2B3 cut?
It has a 26 in. (66 cm) cutting length and Sigma publishes an 18.1 in. (46 cm) diagonal capacity, with a tile thickness range of 0.12 in. to 0.75 in. (3–19 mm).
Will it cut a 24 in. x 48 in. porcelain plank?
No — a 48 in. plank is longer than this cutter's 26 in. (66 cm) cutting length, so it cannot be scored in a single pass. For 48 in. planks step up to the Sigma Series 4 NEX 4EN at 49.2 in. (125 cm) or the 4FN at 61 in. (155 cm).
Can a manual tile cutter make curved or L-shaped cuts?
No. A manual score-and-snap cutter makes straight and diagonal cuts only, because the tile breaks along a single scored line. Curves, L-notches and holes need a diamond blade on an angle grinder or a wet saw — the SLAYTEC Wasteland Ripper Diamond Tile Blade covers that work.
Is this a pulling or a pushing cutter?
This is a pull-handle machine: the scoring wheel is drawn toward the operator. Sigma's Series 4 line offers the same score-and-snap principle in both actions — the 4BU is the pulling version and the 4BN is the pushing version, which Sigma recommends for rough, thick and large tiles.
