Sigma Series 4 NEX Pushing Incision Tile Cutter – 61 in. Cutting Capacity
Sigma Series 4 NEX Pushing Incision Tile Cutter – 61 in. Cutting Capacity
The Sigma Series 4 NEX 4FN is a manual tile cutter with a 61 in. (155 cm) cutting length that scores on the push stroke for cutting ceramic and porcelain tile.
It is the longest machine in Sigma's Series 4 NEX range, above the 125 cm 4EN, and is built for the panel formats that no other manual cutter here reaches. Sigma's pushing incision is described as easy and deep with minimum effort, and recommended for rough, thick and large tiles.
Key Features
- 61 in. (155 cm) cutting length — the longest rail in the range stocked here
- Pushing incision — Sigma's recommendation for rough, thick and large tiles
- Series 4 chassis, shared with the pulling-action UP models
- Unpowered score-and-snap: no water, no power feed, no slurry
Who Is This For?
Installers handling large porcelain panels and 60 in. plank formats who need to cut dry on site. For anything under 24 in. this is far more machine than the job needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long a tile will the Sigma 4FN cut?
Its cutting length is 155 cm, which computes to 61.02 in., so it scores panel and plank formats up to 61 in. in a single pass.
Is this too much cutter for standard floor tile?
For tile under about 24 in. a shorter rail is easier to handle and cheaper: the Sigma Series 4 NEX 4BN cuts 24.4 in. (62 cm) in the same pushing action, and the 4EN covers 49.2 in. (125 cm) for 48 in. planks.
What does pushing incision mean?
The scoring head is pushed away from the operator across the tile rather than dragged back. Sigma states this gives an easy, deep score with minimum effort and recommends it for rough, thick and large tiles.
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.
