Description
Sigma Art. 4DU is classified as a ‘Large’ tile cutter, built on a robust frame manufactured from light hardened aluminium alloy that reflects Sigma’s many years of tile cutter development. Its push handle with cushioned scoring runs completely on stainless steel runners, giving a smooth, consistent scoring action rather than the binding or drag that a lesser cutter can develop over repeated use.
Capacity is genuinely substantial for a manual cutter — square or rectangular cuts up to 103cm in length, and diagonal cuts on tiles up to 72.8cm x 72.8cm at a maximum thickness of 17mm. An optional front measuring scale assists with precise parallel cuts, and the main measuring scale pivots freely between +45° and -45°, covering the angled cuts a genuine tiling job regularly requires without needing a separate tool.
Precision over the cutter’s working life comes down to its bearing system: the handle couples to the sliding carriage via two thrust bearing ball-bearings, and the carriage itself runs on three double crown ball bearings that stay wear-free without maintenance. A CNC-milled wheel holder, roller bearing and anti-friction metal shell keep the scoring wheel running smoothly, while rubber-padded feet provide stable, anti-slip footing during the cutting stroke itself.
For a trade tiler working with large-format tiles regularly, the difference between a large-classification cutter like the 4DU and a smaller domestic-grade cutter shows up in cut consistency across a full working day — wear-free bearings and a properly hardened frame keep scoring quality steady rather than degrading as the session goes on. Its optional accessories, including the TIN-coated scoring wheel and front measuring scale, let the cutter be configured to match the specific demands of a job.

Where to Use
- Professional tiling of large-format square and rectangular tiles
- Jobs requiring accurate diagonal or angled cuts
- Trade tilers needing a durable, low-maintenance cutter
How to Apply
- Position the tile — on the cutter bed against the fence or measuring scale.
- Set the angle if required — pivot the main scale between +45° and -45° for angled cuts.
- Score the tile — pull the handle to run the cushioned scoring wheel along the tile.
- Snap the tile — apply the two-handed lever thrust action to complete a clean break.
Important Notes
- Confirm tile thickness is within the 17mm maximum before attempting a cut.
- The scoring wheel is also available with a TIN coating for extended service life.
- Store and transport in the supplied carrying case to protect the guides and accessories.
