How do tile cutters work?

Tile cutters score the tile's surface with a hardened steel wheel, creating a shallow groove. The tile is then snapped along the line by applying pressure with a lever or handle. This method gives clean, straight cuts without chipping. Many cutters also have adjustable guides for accuracy and consistency.

What size tile cutter do I need?

The size you need depends on the largest tile you plan to cut. Measure your tiles and choose a cutter that can handle them. Check specifications to make sure it suits your needs. If you need angled or intricate cuts, choose a versatile cutter with adjustable guides.

How do I use a tile cutter correctly?

Mark the tile where you need to cut, then place it on the cutter base and align it with the guide. Apply even pressure with the wheel to score the tile, then snap it along the line using the lever or handle. For curves or intricate cuts, make several scores and snaps. Always wear safety glasses and gloves.

Can a tile cutter cut laminate or wood?

Tile cutters are made for ceramic and porcelain tiles, not laminate or wood. These materials need specialised tools such as a jigsaw, circular saw, or laminate cutter. Using a tile cutter on wood or laminate can damage the tool and give poor results.

How can I change a tile cutter blade?

If the cutter is electric, unplug it first. Find the blade release (usually a lever or screw), loosen it, and remove the old blade. Insert the new one, align it properly, then tighten the release to lock it in place. Always wear gloves and safety glasses when handling blades.
