For these reasons, we design and manufacture products and tools that are tailored to each type of market and that meet the needs of the professional. The main advantage of tile cutters is their working speed. Cutting a ceramic tile is a matter of seconds when compared to tile saws. The advantages of cutting ceramic tiles with a manual tool also include cleaning, because you can make many cuts with hardly any mess, since you do not need water or create any dust. Another advantage of cutting ceramic tiles with a manual tool is that you do not need electricity. This allows you to work anywhere on the site without needing to have a power point nearby. Unlike power tools, manual tile cutters do not require water cooling. This gives you a great deal of autonomy when it comes to working right where you want to without needing a water supply nearby, and also without making the surrounding area wet or dirty. An interesting point about tile cuttersis the low price of consumables. Scoring wheels are low cost and long life tools with which you can make many cuts, cheaply and easily. Manual tile cutters are very safe tools because they do not contain sharp parts that may come into contact with the body. For this set of reasons we can say that they are always the first choice for professional ceramic tile installers.
