Hi guys, some years ago I remember that everybody used cheaper and bad quality tile cutters produced in China.
At that time it was easy and it was possible to do that because the tiles were very soft and very small so, also a simple and not professional tile cutter was able to cut that tiles.
Now the situation is exactly the opposite. Tiles are becoming hard, long and with difficult surfaces and it is not possible at all to cut them with simple tile cutter made in China.
I’ll give you an example just to understand what is the problem.
I’m now working inside a Hospital, a new area dedicated for the research. The architect decided to use a new crazy tile! 3 meter for 1,5 meter per 4 mm thickness.
I tried to cut it with a standard cutter but it was not possible because with 4 mm tiles it is not possible to use the same system used for cutting the 3 m x 1 m x 3 mm Kerlite tiles because these tiles are very very hard.
The only solution that I found was to cut it manually with an angle grinder and a small diamond blade for gres porcelain and hard ceramic. The result isn’t so beautiful but it was and in USA it is the only available solution now.
By the way, I’ll inform you as soon as I’ll find another solution by myself or on the market.
Have a nice day
