Cutting tiles has become a child's play with the tile cutter

Automatic translation

There is nothing better than the tile cutter for cutting tiles. You may be tempted to use other tools, but the most practical, the most precise and the fastest is the tiling. Whether it is a manual tiler or an electric tiler, this type of instrument has been specially designed to simplify the tasks of tilers and DIYers. The tile can be your best ally if you want to successfully lay your tiles, since it mainly allows you to adjust your covering to the dimensions of the surface to be covered. Close-up on the tile.

Manual tiling

By definition, the manual tile cutter is an instrument used to cut tiles. It is generally composed of a metal or wooden base, a mobile carriage placed on a rail and a wheel. To use it, you have to move the wheel on an axis in two stages: first to scratch the tile and then to cut it by raising the handle. What is advantageous with manual tiling is the fact that it does not require electricity, plugs, cables or extension cords. It is also light and easy to transport, and it produces only a tiny amount of dust. It is the most affordable tile cutter in terms of price. In addition, it is effective for cutting a tile ranging from 10 to 30 cm in length and also for making straight cuts in the width or in the diagonal of the tiles. To make it more efficient, it is even possible to equip it with a quick change system, an anti-rotation and anti-vibration wheel or a double rail.

The electric tile

As for the electric tile, it is a tile that works with electricity. It's kind of messy, noisy and slow, but it performs better than a manual tiler. It makes it possible to make more precise cuts, straight, diagonal or at 45° for finishing angles. As we speak, the electric tile cutter comes in different models, including: the tabletop tile cutter, the radial electric tile cutter and the electric pendulum tile cutter. The tabletop tiling is distinguished by its cutting thickness, which is much greater than with a manual tiling. And the radial tile is ideal for cutting large size and thick tiles. Finally, the electric cutter with pendulum function is perfect for adjusting the cutting height and for cutting very thick tiles.
