Hello,
Can anyone tell me if they use an electric tile cutter?
I would think that for cutting tiles in a straight cut all across that a "score and snap" manual cutter would be quicker and cleaner.
However for cutting L-shaped pieces from tiles to fit around electric sockets, I think a saw could be useful.
I know they use a circular diamond blade. Is this different to a 4 inch angle grinder blade? Is it thinner perhaps? I'm just wondering what the advantage of a tile cutter over an angle grinder is, other than the cutter has a platform to mount the tile on.
I find if I cut tiles with my angle grinder that using a diamond blade gives a rougher cut, with some fine chips along the edge. These are ok if they will be hidden under a light switch. I find if I use a stone cutting disc, the cut is cleaner and the tile does not chip and the cut can be left on display. Are the cuts with a tile cutter clean?
Thanks, Stephen.
