BIGFOOT XXL – Maximum Flexibility
The BIGFOOT XXL is designed for installers who need flexibility across different tile sizes and slab formats.
With an adjustable width from 100 cm to 150 cm, the workbench adapts to each job while maintaining full stability. The legs automatically reposition as the width changes, ensuring proper balance and support at all times.
This makes it ideal for handling oversized slabs and changing jobsite conditions without compromising accuracy.
Best for:
- Large slab work
- Variable tile sizes
- High-production environments
BIGFOOT XL – Simple & Efficient
The BIGFOOT XL offers a fixed 125 cm width, creating a consistent and reliable workspace for everyday large format tile work.
It provides the same structural strength and capacity as the XXL but without the need for width adjustment. This makes setup faster and more predictable, especially on repeat jobs.
The XL also includes additional support for tiles up to 160 cm wide, making it well-suited for standard large-format installations.
Best for:
- Consistent tile sizes
- Fast setup jobs
- Everyday professional use
Why Workbench Choice Matters
A proper large-format tile table is critical for accuracy and efficiency.
- Stability improves scoring and cutting precision
- Full tile support reduces breakage risk
- Open aluminum profile design allows safe grinder cutting without damaging the table
Both XL and XXL models are built to handle these demands in professional environments.
Accessories That Improve Performance
Tile Support Cylinders
Create a gap between the tile and work surface, allowing safe angle grinder cuts in any direction without damaging the table.
TSE180 Tilting Extension
Supports the tile during scoring and breaking, allowing one-person slab splitting and preventing material from falling.
Final Decision
- BIGFOOT XXL = Maximum flexibility for professional slab work
- BIGFOOT XL = Reliable, fixed setup for everyday large format tile
