    Very good tile cutters made easy work of 600x 300 Porcelain tiles. Nice clean cuts too first time. Solid and well made.

    I finally got it working.
    It’s good to double check if blade cut the tile especially when cutting the very long one.

    Great tile cutter works fine easy to use not messy like with a water tile cutter. Cuts up to 600mm tiles. The only thing I would say is it would be good if it was supplied with a spare cutting wheel

    Used for tiling my bathroom with 60x30cm gloss white tiles. Cuts easily, great purchase.

    Product very good at cutting . Only thing is maximum thickness of tiles should be 5mm . I tried cutting 9mm thick tiles not so good on cutting . But on thinner tiles perfect.

    This is a great tile cutter for a DIYer, I used this to cut a dozen tiles which were fairly thick and ceramic and it scored and snapped them with ease.

    Bought this as it was cheap. Needed to tile my utility room and the cutter i had was too small, needed a 600mm one, seen this for 30 and I am SO glad I got it.
    Im only a DIYer, (and actually 5 months pregnant) cuts are effortless I wish I had this when I did my first tile project, wow, what a difference. worked amazing and trumps the other cheap one i have. 5x easier to use and cut!!
    For little jobs, its brilliant. Im no expert but compared to the other one “magnusson” I got last time.. that old one is probably gonna go in the bin. This one is ace glides a dream and I had 1 breakage in the whole room which was my fault for not supporting the tile properly

    Excelle

    I brought this to cut 10mm porcelain tiles. The tiles were 600×600 so this cutter being 630 was ideal. I had 35 sq mts to tile and the cutter gave me good cuts every time.

    Great cutter for porcelain tiles

    I needed a tile cutter for some 60cm tiles;
    This did the job well. It’s a little bit awkward to align for a spot on cut especially if your eyes are not good but at this price point it’s a good product.

    Brilliant tool and great price too. We found that the blade was a little tough to push and also it is best to use with 2 people as you need to hold the tile level to score and break. Great though – would REALLY recommend practicing first though!

    I have just retiled a bathroom in our house and regard myself as a competent DIYer. I needed to cut 10mm thick, 600mm x 300mm porcelain tiles and this tile cutter was just the job. I believe that there are cheaper versions available but I would recommend this cutter as it did the job with ease and very little wastage. I would suggest a couple of trial cuts beforehand as I definitely pressed harder than I needed to on my first couple of cuts.

    Made the job of cutting 600mm2 tiles very easy even on the diagonal. The side tile supports are a great addition and all for a great price.

    Gives a nice cut and breaks the tile easily. Needs very little pressure to score the tile unlike my previous machine. Broke a couple of tiles in lerning that. Like the legs that stabalise the platform and act as a rest for larger tiles keeping them level whilst being scored.

    Good bit of kit for the money, I’m a professional tiler and have smaller cutters by rubi but, needed a bigger cutter for one off job, this surprised us on how good it is and we use it way more than expected

    I bought this to do 3 cuts on 9mm thick 600×600 tiles. I’d never cut tiles before but found this to be simple to use. I found that I needed to score the tile 5 or 6 times to make sure the tile would cut. I managed to do what I needed to do without any disasters.

    If you take 10 minutes to set it up and square it first it is a good machine. Cut tiles with one hand on lever and other hand on top of part that slides on rails with a small amount of pressure and it cuts fine.
    Good value for money and you get what you pay for. If you want a top class machine you pay top class money.
    Take your time with this and it’s not bad.

    Bars for the cutter are flexible so caution is required as tiles can be cut out of square, probably could have been constructed stronger but price would be more.

    came ready to use cuts like a knife through butter on the porcelain tiles. Only problem I had was it is so sharp I was leaning too hard on the tile and it was breaking along the line before I completed the cut. Practice on some off cuts and it the business cuts a clean line along the hardest of tile brilliant once you get the hang of it as with all tools

    Excellent value for money. Had a little difficulty cutting long tiles over. 600 mm. Tended to go off line at end of tile. Scoring the end first helped a lot. Would recommend. Hiring a cutter would cost as much.

    I was really impressed for the first 20 or so cuts after that the blade began to blunt and by the time I came to the end of tiling my small bathroom it was un-useable. Great product but if you’ve more than a few cuts to do buy extra cutting wheels.

    Easy tool to use , if you have never cut a tile or used a similar tool , expect a few broken tiles as you get used to it. We were putting up 300x600x11mm tiles in the bathroom, when I say we I mean my son , who was tiling fir his first time as my disability meant I can no longer do DIY,. My son broke his first tile, but we then used that tile to practice scoring and snapping the tiles. It only took that one broken tile for him to get the right pressure to score with and the short sharp snap to break the tile to its desired width.

    Very good tile cutter. I was using 900 x 600 at 12mm thick porcelain and it would even cut 15mm off a tile along the 900 length which was just brilliant. Needed to be set sqaured to get it straight as it was about 5 mm out. Also the when doing larger tiles it needs some tile rests either side to keep them stable, I just used off cut pieces of wood.

    Golden Review Award: 35 From Our UsersI used this cutter for 78 Porcelain Tiles from Wicks. Tiles were 600mm x 400mm. Just to set expectations you are not going to cut a slim slither off of a 600mm tile with this type of device, if you need to or have planned to cut a shaving then the only way is to get a diamond wet tile cutter. What this tile cutter does really well is cut tiles that have a reasonable 50mm or more cut off from the tile. This is because you need a reasonable amount of tile each side of the cut, both to keep it strong enough and to have sufficient tile to press onto when breaking it. This cutter did at first produce slightly curved cuts until I realised that I needed to push the scoring handle straight without side force as it glides across the tile. Also, you must score from the edge to edge and not mis the start or stop early. Do not score more than once so get it right first time with enough pressure to ‘actually score it’, it should make a hard scratching sound as you do, but don’t press so hard it’s difficult to move forward across the tile. Always score by pushing the cutter away from you and not pulling towards you. I used the heal of my hand to minimise the side force for straight scoring and managed to get it within a millimetre of my Sharpie marked line. The breaking of a 600mm tile takes a fair amount of force and I found a hard bang down on the handle after making sure the tile was still centred over the ridge of the base. One thing that did happen once or twice was the cutting wheel struck the tile when snapping, chipping the corner a little, this was because I had the handle moved forward towards myself and it should be all the way away from yourself, so the Y shape presses down either side of the ridge in the base and the cutter wheel is out of the way (off of the edge of the top of the tile). I did not have any waste tiles making 18meters worth of linear cuts on floor tiles. I was surprised how much force was required to break the tile along the 600mm length. I also cleaned any tile debris from the bed for each cut (thanks Henry cleaner), so the next tile did not rest on any hard bits from the previous cut. To avoid too much rocking of the tile when scoring I used some corrugated cardboard to support the tile off the edge of the cutter bed as with big tiles this can be a little wobbly. I used a Vitrex electric tile cutter for cutting small amounts like 10mm off an edge, but these machines are slow, noisy and messy, so I maximised my use of the score and snap of the Vitrex 102371 600 mm Manual Flat Bed Tile Cutter. Looking forward to the next tile job in the bathroom now. Tile bits in bucket are from the wet cutter all tiles cut by the Vitrex 102371 600 mm Manual Flat Bed Tile Cutter were used on the floor as per pictures.

    It works briliantly! (if you use it correctly)

    Good for the money,,i use a rubi star for most of my work but this was fine to make the longer cuts and it snapped 30mm off a 600mm long tile

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersNever really leave feedback for items that I’ve purchased but felt compelled to write something for this.
    I’m a general builder encompassing pretty much all trades and have done a fair bit of tiling before, but never large format tiles.
    So when the need arose for a large format tile cutter I did a bit of research and came across the Vitrex Pro Tile Cutter 900mm.
    There’s a lot of good feedback for this item, even from tradesmen that have used ‘Top End’ kit that costs a lot more money.
    I’ve used a number of tile cutters before 300mm, 600mm and even the same brand as this before, but was amazed how much easier and less effort is required in both scoring and and snapping the tile.
    Maybe it’s missing a few of the extras or add ons that you might get with the more expensive models but It’s great value for money and does the job well.

    Excellent tile cutter. My first few cuts were crap as I needed to get a technique for how much pressure to put on scorer wheel and where to press the tile. Make sure you score all of the tile and don’t skimp on the very start of the tile. Also make sure you slide the metal guide out of the way and don’t try press with that underneath the tile. The fact that once you get technique right it’s perfect every time proves it’s a quality item. Would highly recommend.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tile cutte

    Read a few negative reviews and am only writing this as I found this cutter to work perfectly. I’m using 600x600x9.5mm porcelain tiles and it’s cut every one perfectly. I’m a DIYer and have never used such a cutter before but it’s simple and effective. Nuff said.
    P. S. OK so after a lot of use a few haven’t cut perfectly. I’ve tried different ways to ensure a good break and my top tip… moderate pressure and a fairly fast score. Speed of score seems to bey key.

  29. TerrellL19 says:

    Score once end to end across the tile – and short, sharp ‘snap’ pressure to get (mostly) clean breaks. Recommend watch a couple of YouTube vids if unsure. Destroyed first tile by applying too slow a pressure – which shattered the tile!
    Used on 300x600x9 thick ceramic floor tiles. Generally very good clean breaks on whole tiles – learnt quickly that you can’t really lengthwise snap a floor tile more than once. Would recommend.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI used this cutter to cut 60 600×600 porcelain tiles 10mm thick and it works brilliantly. It takes practice to score the tiles well and it is vital to do it right or you will get poor results. Score once, smoothly, pushing away, with firm pressure, adding a bit of WD40 to the wheel every now and again helps, then break the tile with smooth pressure.
    When cutting angles or rakes make sure the tile does not go off the cushioned bed and stray on to the end stop.
    Lastly, mine was about 1mm out, the scoring wheel was not directly above the breaking bar, once you know it’s easy to deal with but you’ll probably make a couple of duff cuts when you start.
    So, this is not a top of the range tile cutter but for the price it is good enough and if you practice you can do a brilliant job with it.

    Having never tiled before or used a tile cutter I was a bit worried. But it’s fine and is very straightforward to use for a non diy expert. Have used to tile a fireplace hearth and it cut rather thick 20cm by 20cm ceramic tiles quite well. One thing to note – if you need precision and small pieces this cutter isn’t great for cutting small strip of tile as it crushes the tile if you try to cut small strips with it, but is great for cutting in half for instance or for slightly bigger pieces. It now struggles to score properly and I needed to rescore (it’s the same type of tile as was for my first project). Maybe it got blunter after just one use, not sure …

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersWas worried due to cost and already bought a few others. When it first arrived I didn’t put the side tile holders which is needed. When I cut I did it from the top to bottom so furthest away and cut towards me. I then tried to break it but it broke the whole tile. Second time I put everything on that it came with. Then I cut starting closest towards me and then once I reached the end with the numbers making sure it’s right at the end and the cutting wheel not touching the tile now I applied little pressure and it came off perfectly. Since then every cut is perfect. Tiles are wicks 605×605 porcelain tiles 10mm. It cuts it with ease. When cutting I don’t press down too hard as no need and you will only damage the wheel quicker! Well worth it as I don’t have to use a wet saw or grinder. Makes the job far easier.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersGreat for cutting big tiles. Looks to be very solid and well made. My only gripe is the difficulty of seeing the exact position of the cutting wheel when lining-up a tile prior to cutting. The sliding mechanism that carries the wheel is big and bulky. The manufacturer claims that it’s easy to see the wheel…… Not true, in my opinion. I found myself having to peer end-on down the line of the cut in order to see if the wheel was exactly over my cut line. It is possible to see the wheel from the side, but that’s not good enough for accurate cuts – you need to view the wheel end-on at both ends of the proposed cut, and this is not particularly easy to do.
