Tile cutter to make curve cuts in tiles!

Tile cutter to make curve cut! This tile cutter exist! I found it in Bologna fair. The name of this spacial hand tool is Combi Slalom. I asked to Montolit team to explain me more about this tile cutter to make curve cut and they showed me some test with all type of tiles. It was incredible because with only one tile cutter machine I can create special works with special complex drawing: this tile cutter is very easy to use and when necessary, you can use it only to cut in a normal way. I found more information on Montolit Website:
Main proposal:Covered by international patent, this special tile cutter is the only one of its kind, and is capable of making curved cuts on the majority of tiles on the market. Thanks to the mobile slider, incisions can be made in tiles according to the desired trajectory. As well as solving the problem of cutting tiles in the vicinity of round columns, curved walls and circular shower trays, this tile cutter opens up an infinite range of possibilities for tilers to create imaginative and artistic work.
Utilization:The handle of this special tile cutter is easily guided by the operator, thus ensuring execution of the incision as desired. For special decorations or repetitive cuts, the combi slalom tile cutter can be equipped with a variable template (optional art.SR000B). Fluidity and precision are ensured by special slide bushes and ground steel rails. Tiles are split with the aid of the special screw-type cut-off device mounted on the machine; to facilitate operations, we recommend the use of the specific separate cut-off device (Art. 57). The machine is also capable of making straight and diagonal cuts, by fixing the slider with the respective locking screw.
Peculiarity:Incision wheel with oversized diameter (Ø 20 mm) in hard metal and special titanium coating to ensure better fluidity and long life, even when used on increasingly hard, new materials (porcelain tile, klinker, etc.). Millimetric square in nickel-plated metal, for linear and inclined cuts. Tile support table in phenol-glued plywood. Non-slip feet.
