High performance and excellent cut quality are demonstrated by water-cooled tile cutters. By supplying water to the cutting zone, it is possible to reduce the amount of dust, increase the service life of the diamond blade, and minimize tile waste due to chips. Modern machines allow you to carry out the most complex cuts, grooves and notches. Today there is a wide range of specialized tools for tilers on sale. To find the optimal model, you should heed the recommendations of our experts.

Selection recommendations

Type of food. Water cooled tile cutters use two types of electricity.

1. Network models are the best option for price and performance if there is a 220 V outlet in the room.
2. Cordless tile cutters help out craftsmen in cases where the facility is not yet electrified. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on the hardness of the material.

Types of water cooled tile cutters. Depending on the design, the following types of tile cutters are distinguished.

1. Machines with an upper saw blade have impressive dimensions. Tile cutters with this design are heavy, but at the same time demonstrate high productivity, accuracy and cutting depth. The cutting head moves along a guide, cutting through stationary material.
2. The instrument looks more compact with a lower disk location. The tile cutter should include lightness and mobility, the ability to cut tiles diagonally. The tiles have to be fed into the cutting zone manually.
3. The most affordable and mobile are tableless tile cutters. They are equipped with small containers for storing water or a tube for connecting a hose. The tiler will need to use a household table or chair for cutting.

Performance. Water-cooled tile cutters differ significantly in performance.

1. Professional models are equipped with powerful motors (1000-2200 W) with a disk rotation speed of 2500 rpm. Such models are required for large scale finishes.
2. The amateur tool is equipped with low-power motors (400-1000 W), which spin the disc at a speed of 1500-3000 rpm. This tile cutter is useful for laying tiles in a house or apartment.

Maximum disc diameter. Another important characteristic tilers need to pay attention to when choosing a tool. This is the maximum disc diameter. The cutting depth largely depends on it.

1. Professional models can work with saw blades with a diameter of 200-350 mm. They are able to cut not only finishing tiles, but also stone, marble, granite and concrete materials 40 … 110 mm thick.
2. Tile cutters with a disc of 80-120 mm have a narrower scope of application. Their task is to process tiles up to 30 mm thick.
3. When choosing a tool with a rotary mechanism of the cutting head, one should take into account such a moment as a decrease in the cutting depth as it deviates from the rectangular arrangement of the disc.
