Tile cutter MADE IN ITALY? How to recognize it ? As all people know, the best tile cutters worldwide are made in Italy. Now the real problem is to recognize it because unfortunately on the market there are many and many bad copies of tiling tools from others countries, copy that works quite good for some weeks or months and after break down without any possibility to repair it…! .
In order to recognize it we must pay attention at the following characteristic:
Solidity: normally a good tile cutter has a base aluminium structure very solid, the base is a aluminium metal casting that grants a very good base to work with precision and stability.
But the solidity is not enough to recognize the real Italian tile cutter. You must take it on your hands and try to move the different principal components. In a good tile cutter this component are well fixed each others and, without any type of small movement!. If you have a minimum feeling with mechanics, you will fill immediately if the structure is solid or not.
Another important point is the quality of wheels. Normally with an Italian tile cutter you can cut some km of tiles without any problem. In the bad tile cutter, the wheel breaks after some days.
It is true, it is not easy to recognise a good tile cutter only having a look on picture in internet. If possible, it is important to ask information to another expert tiler or a good reseller that could grant you a warranty.
Obviously I suggest you to try an Italian tile cutters Montolit. I’m sure that you will not change anymore! Have a good day my friend.
