About this product
How the Manual Tile Cutter works
Cutting tiles with a saw is slow, dusty and noisy. A manual cutter makes a straight cut with no power and no dust, which is why professionals use one for most straight cuts and keep a wet saw for curves and difficult shapes.
The unit has a flat yellow steel base for the tile, a black guide rail running along the length of the tool, and a carriage with a tungsten carbide cutting wheel. A long handle on the carriage lets you push the wheel along the line, then press down to score. A breaker foot on the same handle snaps the tile.
Cutters are made in various lengths to take larger tiles. For the best result, score once with firm pressure, then snap. Wall and floor tilers, home builders and contractors all use them, and spare wheels are inexpensive and easy to fit. We confirm the maximum tile size for each model.
Before you buy the Manual Tile Cutter
A manual cutter is quiet, dust-free and does not need power, so it is excellent for straight cuts on ceramic and porcelain tiles. For L-shaped cuts, curves or very thick stone, you will need a wet saw or an angle grinder instead.

Questions about the Manual Tile Cutter
Yes, but dense porcelain needs a good wheel and firm scoring. Larger or thicker tiles may need a wet saw.
