THE TILE CUTTER (my opinion) - TilersForums.com

[Italy]

the tile cutter,
here everyone wants to know which brand is the best.
but are we sure that a brand is enough to solve everything?
as we all know, every day we come across different tiles,
a hard, soft, big, small, long etc.
if I think about it, it would need a different tile cutter every day.
but then a compromise is found and the least worst is chosen.
and with this what I mean ?, I want to say that in my opinion there is no tile cutter for everything, (same discourse of the blades), with only one tile cutter
sometimes you have to use for example the grinder to finish a cut.
I believe that all brands are valid, the segment is always evolving
to keep up with the tiles, the only difference could be the
easy and simple to use and that's it.
I conclude, saying that only the tiler and his style can decide which brand is best for him.
but every day you'll have a box of tiles to open and you'll never know
what it contains.

As I have always said all tile cutters are basically the same, it is
just the breaking system that is different. In my humble opinion it is
what works for you.

That’s why I still have my 30 year old cutter. No in vogue brand, just a well built machine that does a job.

honorary president, do not worry
a cutter of 30 years ago, does not cut a lot of tiles
of 2018.

that’s spot on, once you get acccustomed to a brand it is the best tile cutter in your own opinion.

Drill what drill! Hammer and chisel is the way forward.
I bought a new 2nd hand electric cutter from @Dave 6 years ago and a new 2nd hand small cutter in a red box from @stone tiler 2years ago - both will see me into my box! Can carry both on the bus with my free pass!
