We did notice that we sometimes got an uneven break at the far end of the tile with larger tiles, so we’d recommend only using these cutters with smaller tiles. We found the instructions on the box extremely clear (probably the best of all the cutters we tested) and the cutter produced a clean cut repeatedly. However, it could benefit from slightly better-oiled runners, and it didn’t feel particularly substantial. You can also do diagonal cuts up to 230mm at a 45-degree angle, and the cutting wheel and breaker bar are both replaceable. Cement – Cement tiles have been around since the 19th century and are extremely versatile. Unfortunately, they’re not easy to lay and need to be resealed at least once a month.

Glass – Glass tiles offer a clean aesthetic and are extremely stain resistant. However, they are far more fragile than ceramic and porcelain, and can easily chip along the edges. This is one of the noisier tile cutters we’ve come across, but it does its job extremely well. Do make sure to keep water in the reservoir and clean the bed from time to time to ensure its smooth running.Granite – This is another natural stone, though one that’s cheaper than marble. However, it’s also prone to staining and needs a penetrative sealant to protect it. There are two types of tile cutter – manual and electric. But which should you choose? Choose a manual tile cutter if: A few users have noted that the breaker bar can lightly mark tiles, so we would recommend using masking tape to protect the tile before cutting. Not only does our Replacement Wheel guarantee accuracy and precision, but it's also incredibly easy to install. Simply remove your old wheel and insert the new one in its place - it's that simple! Plus, with its affordable price point, you won't have to break the bank to achieve professional-grade results. We found that this cutter produced smoother cuts than any of the manual tile cutters. However, despite the claim that the water re-circulation system ensures a clean workstation, we found that the cutter did produce a fair amount of mess. We’d therefore recommend using it either outside or in an area that’s easy to sweep up.

Using the cutter is simple: using a metal ruler to keep things straight, mark the tile with the scorer. Then insert the tile in the jaws of the cutter, aligning the scored mark with the centre of the tool, and squeeze to snap the tile in two. You might hear these types of cutters also referred to as ‘snappers’ for obvious reasons! No matter what type of tile you're working with, our Replacement Wheel has you covered. Its durable construction ensures that it can handle even the toughest of materials with ease, making it a reliable choice for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts alike. Features & Benefits: Heavy Duty Tile Cutter 500mm Replacement Wheel One of the most useful features of the QEP cutter is a fixed extension table that allows you to keep your tiles in place while you’re cutting them. We also really liked the mitre and parallel guides – these made this a particularly easy cutter to cut straight lines with. The finish is extremely clean and it’s also easy to cut angles and bevels. Along with straight cuts, the cutter is capable of cutting diagonally as well as producing bevels (20mm maximum cutting capacity at a 90-degree bevel). It also has a 45-degree mitre guide for internal and external corner joints. The cutter has a foldable carry handle that’s probably most useful for smaller hands and a cleverly designed magnetic safety switch to prevent the machine accidentally turning on when you plug it into a power source. You may also come across other types of tiles, including limestone, terracotta, travertine, quarry, slate and metal.
