Was just getting my tools out of the garage ready for tiling to start this weekend and I'm embarrassed to say that I've discovered my manual tile cutter isn't big enough to cut the 300x600 ceramic tiles I've got. I can't quite believe I've now got to go and spend even more money on this project, it's getting ridiculous now. Anyway, I need to get something big enough to cut them and also some 330mm floor tiles on the diagonal, but don't want to spend loads. Do you have any suggestions?
I saw a wet tile cutter on Amazon for £39.99 (Vitrex 103402 Diamond Blade Tile Cutting Saw) which is cheaper than some of the manual ones and has good reviews but doesn't say its maximum size.It looks tiny in the pics though.VITREX 103402 Diamond Blade Tile Cutting Saw: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools
Otherwise there's a manual one at Wickes for £49.99 that looks like it might do the job. Wickes Tile Cutter 600mm | Wickes.co.uk
Or a hand held manual contraption here. Vitrex 10 1500 Pro Series Heavy-duty Tile Cutter, VIT101500 at Tool Shop Direct I don't know whether that would do the job though of course.
Or perhaps to be on the super cheap I could just use a tile scribe and some matchsticks. Would that even work on a 600mm length?
What do you reckon? I want to not spend much money but also not have loads of fails on my tile breaks. My wife says I have Champagne tastes with beer money.
