Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions about tile cutters:
What is the best type of tile cutter for me?
The best type of tile cutter for you will depend on the size and type of project you are working on. If you are working on a small project, a manual tile cutter may be sufficient. If you are working on a large project or need to cut through thick tiles, a tile nipper may be a better option.
How do I choose the right size tile cutter?
The size of the tile cutter you need will depend on the size of the tiles you are cutting. If you are cutting small tiles, a small tile cutter may be sufficient. If you are cutting large tiles, a larger tile cutter will be needed.
How do I keep my tile cutter sharp?
Inspect the scoring wheel regularly. If the scoring wheel is dull or has a burr, it will not cut cleanly. Replace the scoring wheel when it is no longer performing to expectations. Apply a lubricant to the scoring wheel. Applying a lubricant to the scoring wheel will help to keep it sharp and prevent it from rusting. Store your tile cutter in a dry place. Storing your tile cutter in a dry place will help to prevent it from rusting.
What safety precautions should I take when using a tile cutter?
