How to choose the best incision wheel for your snap tile cutter

Basically you can find 2 main types of tile cutter's incision wheels on the market.
One is very basic (garbage for the professional people), the other one has great performances.

The first low performance incision wheel is the standard Carbide Cutting Wheel (they are grey) assembled on the 99.9% of the cheaper manual tile cutter. This incision wheel is very weak and you will consume it in a few weeks if you use it on extremely hard material like the new tiles made in Gres Porcelain or for cutting glass for example.

The best incision wheels currently on the market are Tungsten Carbide coated with Titanium (they are yellow). Thanks also to the Titanium surface, these professional cutting wheels are extremely durable, versatile and able to cut the hardest porcelain tiles or glass mosaic etc.

Basic low performances Carbide Cutting wheel for tile cutters cost approx $ 12 and professional Tungsten Carbide Titanium Coated incision cutting wheels costs approx $ 20.

Even if you are a Do It Yourself lover, considering the extremely small cost difference, it is recommend to use a Tungsten Carbide Titanium Coated incision cutting wheel.
