MK Tile Cutter and others ... just how to choose one that's right for you

If you are about to install flooring tiles, then a tile cutter would possibly be one tool that should be in your toolbox. But choosing just any tile cutter for the job may not be the right thing to do ...

Tips for selecting the right tile cutter

You may want to start by asking what tiles are you about to install. Some tile cutters may be able to cut only ceramic tiles and not stone tiles or metallic or steel tiles ... and if you are about to install stone tiles or metallic tiles for a kitchen backsplash, then you may want to select a tool that's good for the job.

You may want to see the type of lubrication the tool provides for the blade. If the tool provides no lubrication, then the blade may not last as long as it otherwise would.

The depth of cut might be important if you are using non-standard tiles.

If you intend to use the tool to cut slabs then you might want to choose one that has a cutting head that's rail mounted and can slide.
