Can the Sigma 600mm tile cutter from Hire Shop cut porcelain tiles?

Hi everyone,

I am planning to hire the Sigma 600mm manual tile cutter from the Bunnings Hire Shop for an upcoming tiling project.

Before hiring, I would like to check if this specific model is suitable and powerful enough to make clean cuts on porcelain tiles (10mm thick), or if porcelain requires a wet saw instead.

Any advice or experiences using this hire tool for porcelain would be greatly appreciated!

Hello @fsj117

Thank you for sharing your question about the Sigma tile cutter. Yes, the Sigma 600mm tile cutter can cut a 10mm porcelain tile, it falls well within their structural breaking strength. Standard Sigma manual cutters handle material thicknesses up to 15mm–20mm depending on the specific series and model specifications.

I suggest having a quick look at this guide - Easily cut hard porcelain tiles with a Sigma Tile Cutter.

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when cutting tiles.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
