Description
Sigma KERA-CUT 8AE2 Large Format Tile Cutter is a professional tool built specifically for cutting the oversized porcelain slabs that have become common in contemporary tiling projects. Its sturdy aluminium guide-beam directs a heavy-duty scoring wheel carriage along the tile, recommended for porcelain tiles between 3mm and 10mm thick, and capable of cutting slabs up to 332cm in length — extending to 382cm at 7mm thickness with the optional 50cm beam extension.
The anodized aluminium rail is built from two perfectly straight extrusions that allow quick coupling and decoupling on site, fixed to the tile itself via stain-resistant suction cups that are freely placeable and suitable even on rough tile surfaces. That suction-cup fixing is what makes accurate large-format cutting genuinely practical without a fixed cutting table — the guide travels to the slab rather than requiring the slab to be manoeuvred onto a dedicated machine.
The scoring carriage runs on plastic-coated, wear-resistant wheels with double ball bearings for a smooth, consistent scoring pass, and a two-handed lever thrust action delivers the precise, deep cutting incision a large porcelain slab needs to break cleanly along the score line. All guides and accessories are supplied in practical carrying cases for transport and storage between jobs.
Because large-format porcelain slabs have become a defining trend in contemporary tiling, a cutter genuinely capable of handling their length and weight — rather than a standard-size cutter stretched beyond its intended capacity — is what keeps cut lines straight and consistent across a full slab. The stain-resistant suction cups are a particularly important detail here, since a guide that shifts mid-score on an expensive large-format slab can turn a single cutting error into a costly write-off.
Technical Specifications

Where to Use
- Cutting large-format porcelain slabs for floor and wall installations
- Professional tiling projects requiring long, straight cuts
- Jobs needing a portable guide rather than a fixed cutting table
How to Apply
- Position the aluminium guide-beam — on the tile at the required cut line.
- Fix with the suction cups — securing the guide firmly in place.
- Run the scoring carriage — along the guide to score the tile.
- Apply the two-handed lever thrust — to complete a clean, precise incision.
- Use the supplied separator — to divide the tile along the scored line.
Important Notes
- Confirm slab thickness is within the recommended 3-10mm range before cutting.
- Use the beam extension for slabs approaching the maximum 332cm length.
- Store guides and accessories in the supplied carrying cases between jobs.
