Power

Rated motor power of the electric tile cutter. The more powerful the engine — the more force it can give to the cutting tool, the higher the rotation speed and disc diameter can be. Accordingly, a more powerful tool is better suited for larger jobs and hard and/or thick materials. On the other hand, high power significantly affects the price, dimensions and weight of the tool, despite the fact that there is not always a real need for it.

In light of all this, it is necessary to choose a tile cutter in terms of power, taking into account the specifics of the intended use. So, in the case of a hand tool for simple household work, a power of 700 – 800 W is enough, more solid indicators may be required mainly for professional use. But in stationary units, where compactness does not really matter, you can not save on power — especially since such devices are usually used where performance is important.

Bore diameter

The diameter of the mounting hole on the cutting disc that the tile cutter is compatible with. This parameter is important when searching for and purchasing interchangeable working nozzles: the diameters of the mounting hole on the tile cutter and on the disk must match.

Cutting depth

The greatest depth to which the tool can cut through the material being processed, in other words, the maximum thickness of the tile that the tile cutter is guaranteed to be able to cut.

It is worth choosing a tool for this parameter taking into account the thickness of the material with which to work, plus some margin “just in case”. But this margin should not be too large: for a deep cut, large discs and high power are required, which accordingly affects the price, weight and dimensions of the tool.

Disc/cutter feed

This parameter describes from which side the disk or cutter of the tile cutter is fed to the tile.

- Upper. The top position of the cutter is standard for manual as well as portable electric tile cutters (see "Type"). Stationary electrical units with this arrangement are more bulky than the "lower" ones, and have restrictions on the length of the cut. On the other hand, they are more convenient and accurate.

- Lower. The bottom feed of the disc is found exclusively in stationary electric tile cutters. The design of such a tool resembles a classic circular saw: it has a tabletop, from which the edge of the cutting disc protrudes. Such units are considered less accurate than top feed models, but they are more compact, and the length of the cut is limited only by overheating of the disk.

Table dimensions

The size of the working surface of the stationary tile cutter (see "Type"). The larger the table, the lower the likelihood that the tiles will hang from it during operation.
