Electric tile cutter vs Manual tile cutter. What's the best cutter for professional tilers?

 

[WetSaw]

Depends what you're cutting! You want the right tool for the job.

Don't forget the grinder. Saves having a bath from the wet cutter too....

 

[Andy Allen]

You can only use a grinder outside.....what if it's raining...still get wet and electrocuted...lol

I use both....should imagine every tiler dose.....would take ages cutting every tile on a wet cutter.....straight cuts manual cutter...L shape cuts wet cutter or grinder.

Umbrella and a cordless grinder, it's then only like licking a square battery!!!!!!!

Before these manual/electric cutters it was a pin hammer and cutting chisel.
You'd score the front with the hammer and chisel then tap the back along the line with the hammer. Back edge the sides to mitre. Those were the days ...
Used to get up at 4 and cycle 30 miles to the site, break the ice off the soaking drum and get your tiles, lay 10 yards of quarries onto a sand/ cement bed and rub the grout off with sawdust. Then 30 miles back home to a cup of tea and slice of Hovis!
