{"product_id":"sigma-max-tile-cutter","title":"Sigma 12 XL Tile Cutters","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSigma 12 XL Tile Cutters — Score and Snap the Biggest Formats, No Saw Required\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge-format porcelain and gauged panels are the future of tile — and a nightmare to cut if all you have is a wet saw and a helper. Dragging a 10-foot panel across a bridge saw is slow, messy, and takes two people. The Sigma 12 XL does it the fast, clean, one-person way: a manual push-bar cutter long enough to score and snap oversized tile in a single stroke, with no water, no cord, and no dust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole machine is built to keep a very long score dead straight. A rigid aluminum frame and guide rail ride on stainless steel tracks, and the scoring carriage glides on ball bearings so a full-length pass takes almost no effort — you can score push or pull, whichever suits the panel. Then the breaker does the hard part: a superior breaker mechanism with a double-sprung, cushioned break and a wide breaker foot delivers the concentrated, even force (roughly 1,700 lb of it) that snaps big, thick tile clean along the score instead of wandering off it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe details are what make it a production tool. Sprung-loaded base plates hold the tile steady while you work, double measurement bars let you set up repeatable parallel cuts fast, and the support arm pivots the full +45° to -45° for diagonal and angled cuts. It handles tile up to 3\/4\" (19 mm) thick, and despite its size it's built light with transport wheels so one person can move it around the shop or roll it to the work. Pick the length for your work: the \u003cstrong\u003e12D2\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts up to 81\" straight (57\" diagonal), and the \u003cstrong\u003e12E2\u003c\/strong\u003e cuts up to 96\" straight (70\" diagonal).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Tile Pros Choose It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuts the biggest formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 96\" straight, 70\" diagonal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne clean stroke:\u003c\/strong\u003e Score and snap, no saw, water, or cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDead-straight scores:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum rail on stainless tracks, ball-bearing carriage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSnaps thick tile clean:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double-sprung cushioned break, wide breaker foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFast, repeatable setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double measurement bars and 45° angle cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-person tool:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightweight build with built-in transport wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo lengths:\u003c\/strong\u003e 81\" (12D2) or 96\" (12E2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurns a two-person saw job into a one-person snap:\u003c\/strong\u003e Your back will notice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePro tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Support the full panel flat and level before you score, and make one smooth, continuous pass at steady pressure — stopping mid-score leaves a witness mark that can throw the break. Keep the rail and tracks clean so the carriage glides true, and remember that on very thick or extra-dense tile (much past 5\/8\"), even a great manual cutter has its limits.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sigma","offers":[{"title":"81\"","offer_id":48782156300533,"sku":"12D2","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"96\"","offer_id":48782156333301,"sku":"12E2","price":3065.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0316\/2731\/3284\/files\/Sigma-12D-XL_1.jpg?v=1790347413","url":"https:\/\/www.tileprosource.com\/products\/sigma-max-tile-cutter","provider":"Tile ProSource","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
