Updating the floor or wall tiles in your home can give it a whole new look, but getting your space to look exactly as you imagined it would takes time and the right tools. It's best to be as prepared as possible to prevent your project from really looking like a DIY project rather than a professional job. Of course, you will need a plan from start to finish, and it starts with buying the right tile cutter or saw. This guide to buying a tile cutter will help you understand what options you have and which professional tile tools are right for your project.


The difference between a tile cutter and a tile saw


When starting your tile cutting project, you may be wondering whether you should choose a tile cutter, or a tile saw. A tile cutter is a manually operated tool that is simple to use and does not require a power source. It cuts a straight line across the surface of the tile and the pressure on either side of the breaker helps to break the tile. Tile cutters come in various sizes and are very light.


Tile saws, on the other hand, use diamond blades to cut tiles. They generate a lot of heat when running and have a water tank for spraying the blades and tiles to keep them cool and reduce the amount of dust generated. Tile saws are better suited for miter cuts on thick marble tiles or porcelain.

Choosing the right type of tile cutter


The first thing you need to consider when starting a tiling project is which type of tile cutter you should use. There are two options: manual and electric.


Manual tile cutters


If you are doing a smaller tiling project, a manual tile cutter is probably the best piece of equipment to use. These tools tend to be more affordable than electric tools and they are not burdened with the strength and reinforcements that are needed on larger projects. Smaller projects are more focused on precise cutting and a manual cutter can be very good at achieving this. Smaller projects may also require more delicate tiles, which require a gentler touch with hand tools. Manual tile cutters are usually made from steel and tungsten carbide cutting wheels. Manual tile cutters are perfect for home DIY projects, but may not be suitable for larger projects using heavy, large tiles.
