Benefits of Using Tile Cutters
Manual tile cutters are a popular choice among tile installers and do-it-yourselfers due to their minimal setup effort and ease of operation. Tile cutters allow installers to keep the cutting close to them, eliminating the need to get up every time a cut is needed. These cutters can be used virtually anywhere since they do not require electricity and do not disperse dust. Manual cutters are mobile, lightweight, and practical for cutting most types of tiles, particularly ceramic tiles. They do not necessitate adjustments in movement, pace, or timing, making them a highly adaptable tool.
The Different Styles of Tile Cutters
In the tile and stone industry, there are many different styles of tile cutters, such as Sigma and Montolit’s single bar system with spring-loaded plates and Rubi Tools dual bar system with separate scoring and breaking handles, along with their innovative TZ system. Each style offers unique benefits and can come in either push or pull variants.
Single Bar Systems: Brands like Montolit, Sigma, and some Rubi single bar and dual bar cutters feature a scoring wheel and breaking foot on the same mechanism. This design allows for quick and easy snapping and scoring in one motion. These cutters typically have a spring-loaded table with a metal bar running between them, ensuring the tile breaks evenly. This feature is especially beneficial for longer, harder tiles that require breaking in multiple spots to avoid uneven cuts.
Push and Pull Variants: Some cutters are available in both push and pull styles, meaning you can score your tile by pushing the scoring wheel away from you or pulling it towards you. The choice between push or pull is a matter of personal preference, as neither style has a performance edge over the other.
At Tile This, we offer an extensive selection of tile cutters to help you complete your commercial or residential project efficiently. Check out our large inventory of tile cutters from brands such as Montolit and Rubi Tools.
