Tile Cutters

Tile cutters are tools that are used to cut tiles into different shapes and sizes. They can be manual or electric, depending on the type and thickness of the tile. Manual tile cutters are usually cheaper and simpler to use, but they may not be able to cut very hard or thick tiles. Electric tile cutters are more powerful and precise, but they are also more expensive and noisier.

• Glass cutter: A handheld tool with a sharp wheel that scores the tile along a straight line. The tile can then be snapped along the score line. This is suitable for cutting glass, ceramic, or mirror tiles.
• Multi-tool: A power tool with interchangeable blades that can cut through tiles using an oscillating motion. This is suitable for cutting small or irregular shapes, such as around outlets or pipes.
• Snap tile cutter: A manual tool with a base and a lever that snaps the tile along a straight line. The tile is placed on the base and scored with a cutting wheel. Then the lever is pressed down to break the tile along the score line. This is suitable for cutting ceramic or porcelain tiles.
• Wet tile saw: An electric tool with a water-cooled blade that cuts through tiles with minimal dust and chipping. The tile is slid along a guide rail and pushed against the blade. The water helps to lubricate and cool the blade, as well as wash away the debris. This is suitable for cutting any type of tile, especially large or thick ones.

• Cutting wheel: The part that scores the tile along a marked line. It can be made of metal, carbide, or diamond, depending on the type and hardness of the tile.
• Pressure pad: The part that presses down on the tile after scoring to snap it along the score line. It can be a lever, a handle, or a foot.
• Platform or base: The part that holds the tile in place while cutting. It can have a guide rail, a measurement bar, or a rip guide to help align the tile with the cutting wheel.
• Water pan: The part that collects water and debris from the wet tile saw. It can have a pump, a hose, or a valve to circulate water to the blade.
• Blade: The part that cuts through the tile with a rotating motion. It can have different diameters, thicknesses, and materials, depending on the type and size of the tile
