Suggest a cheap/decent Tile cutter?

Hire one

Seems like it would cost to hire one for a week 1/3 to 1/2 of what it costs to buy the tool myself... makes no sense to do that..
Have never ever used tool hire companies because of the prices they charge, except for some very very specific and very expensive stuff which I have needed only for a few hours.

I don't know which company you are looking at but brandon hire are expensive unless you have an account. jewson hire I find are quite good or possibly a tile shop particularly if you got your tiles from them .

You can get a Pocket rubi cutter for about £70, how did you expect to buy a decent cutter for £25 I do not know!

Yeah I just didn't know how much they cost, I have a very old crude russian made small tile cutter which has just worked perfectly for probably over 30+years and has made superb cuts.. had a quick look online how much a larger version that looks similar costs and seemed like some £25 for a manual one, so thought I will just get something like that and be done with it...

Until, I started to do more research and realized that EVERY cheap/average priced tile cutter sold now is a cheap junk, I mean seriously why do they even make those cheap tat items if they aren't even fit for purpose? I'm yet to find 1 good cutter under £60 ( I'm yet to research on more expensive ones) which can do it's supposed job.

Why oh why they flood the market with these nasty tat items and just waste the earths resources making them when they are good for nothing... 🙁

Have you got an angle grinder? You might be better off getting a decent blade for the budget you have and use that.
