Tile cutter

The tile cutter is the most-used hand tool in the tiler's kit. With a single stroke of the scoring wheel and a short press on the breaking lever you cut tiles straight, diagonally or at an angle — no power, no water and no dust. Our manual tile cutters handle tiles up to approximately 60 cm wide.

Score and snap: the working principle

A tile cutter scores a thin line in the tile glaze with a tungsten-carbide or diamond cutting wheel. You then break the tile along that line using the breaker mechanism. The break always follows the score, provided it is deep enough and straight. The better the wheel and the sturdier the guide, the cleaner and more reliable the break. Most tile cutters allow you to replace the scoring wheel when it dulls — a new wheel is inexpensive and immediately improves the cut result.

Robust construction for daily use

A professional tile cutter has a solid steel frame, a precise guide rail and a powerful breaking mechanism. Cheaper models flex under pressure, causing crooked breaks. For daily professional use it pays to invest in a model with a rigid construction, a smooth-running wheel and an ergonomic handle that remains comfortable during extended use. Keep the guide rail clean and free of tile debris for a smooth scoring motion.

Compact and portable

Replace the scoring wheel on time — a dull wheel creates a shallow score that leads to unpredictable breaks. A replacement wheel costs very little and immediately restores cutting accuracy. Keep the guide rail clean and free of tile debris to ensure smooth scoring motion.

Tile cutters are light enough to carry to every job and take up little space on the work area. They are the fastest tool for straight cuts in standard tiles and form the basis of every tiler's equipment. Compare the models on cutting length, breaking capacity and build quality to find the tile cutter that matches your tile format and work frequency perfectly.
