Tiles often need to be cut to the precise size in order to fit a floor, wall, or countertop. For instance, the tiles next to walls often have to be cut to fit correctly. The tools available to cut tiles, though, vary in effectiveness, power source, and injury risk. Ceramic tile cutters are used by tile setters, tile contractors, tile layers, kitchen and bath remodelers, and other construction workers. It is important for all supervisors and general contractors to make sure that each worker is properly trained on how to use ceramic tile cutters and other tools that cut tile. Contact an Orange County ceramic tile cutter injury lawyer if you have been hurt on the job.

Ceramic Tile Cutter: Definition & Types

By definition, different tile cutters are used for different types of tiles and situations. Ceramic tile cutters are used to cut ceramic tiles that are medium or soft grade. Depending on the thickness of the tile, the location, the situation, and your needs, different types of tile cutters and tile saws will work. Most ceramic tile cutters use carbide or tungsten-steel wheels to cut with. Hand tile cutters use a metal wheel to score the tile and then snap the tile along that line by applying pressure on both sides along the score. Tiling snips or tiling nips are also effective at cutting or breaking off small pieces of tile. For deeper cuts or a larger quantity of cuts that need to be the same, twin beam and single beam score cutters can be used. It has a fence that is used to keep multiple cuts the same and all beam scoring cutters have very effective scoring wheels. For harder tiles, power tools can be used like a tile saw that utilizes a diamond blade for cutting and a stream of water to keep it cool.
