A worksite tile cutter is a portable tool used to cut tiles accurately, commonly used in construction or remodeling projects where tiles need to be cut to fit around corners, edges, or other obstacles. There are two main types:
-
Manual Tile Cutters: These are handheld devices with a scoring wheel that scores the tile’s surface. After scoring, you snap the tile along the scored line. Manual cutters are often lighter, quieter, and more affordable, but they require physical effort and might not work well for very large or thick tiles.
-
Electric Tile Cutters (Wet Saws): These cutters use a diamond blade powered by a motor, often with a water cooling system to prevent overheating and to reduce dust. Electric wet saws are better for larger tiles or more intricate cuts and are typically used by professionals. They’re generally more expensive but offer greater precision and efficiency for tough materials.
Both types typically feature a stable platform to hold the tile securely and ensure a clean, straight cut. The choice between the two depends on the scope of your project, the materials you’re working with, and how often you’ll use the cutter.
