Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just got this cutter for a kitchen project. I'm using it to cut 12" (3/8" thick) porcelain tiles diagonally - straight corner to corner cuts mostly.
One note on using it - I had to sacrifice a few tiles while learning that you don't stick the tile all the way into the 45degree notch at the fence - the corner of the tile must not project further than it would if you were cutting it straight. (obvious now, but that corner cut out just seemed to be screaming to me to put the corner of the tile in there).
After I figured that out and stopped breaking my corners, I found it worked fairly well. But not perfectly. The cut would wander off on the last two inches of every fourth or fifth tile. Enough to bug me, but not enough to make me look for another solution.
I did notice that the cutting wheel on mine is not perfectly in line with the metal ridge that runs under the tile - I'm thinking that a small adjustment here may lower my junk tile rate.
But even as is, for thick porcelain tile, I'm not unhappy with the way it's been working. I think it's more a matter of me getting used to it than anything else.
I'll update this review after I use it more.
For now, I still think it's worth the money. Cheaper and faster than a tile saw, not to mention neater and easier to lug around. I still use an angle grinder for L cuts - but even one of those cheezy tiny wet saws might be a good alternative for that.
This thing is built solidy, feels like it'll last a lifetime. I haven't pushed it to see how thin of a piece it'll trim, but have had no problem trimming 1/2" along the straight edge of 12" tiles.
