Tile cutting is a process that demands precision, attention, and the right tools. Even the most seasoned professionals can make mistakes that compromise the final result. In this article, we break down the top 5 tile cutting mistakes and provide practical tips to avoid them, ensuring flawless results every time.
Using the wrong tile cutter
Every project is unique and requires the appropriate tool. Using a manual tile cutter for thick tiles or an electric model for small refinements is a common mistake that can lead to inaccurate cuts or breakage.
How to avoid it:
- For standard-thickness tiles, rely on a manual tile cutter like the Sigma 2B3. This model is perfect for precise cuts on ceramic and porcelain tiles.
- For more complex cuts or thicker materials, choose an electric model.
Neglecting tool maintenance
A dull blade or worn cutting wheel can compromise cutting precision and lead to chipping. Ignoring maintenance is a mistake that increases costs over time.
How to avoid it:
- Regularly inspect the blade or cutting wheel and replace them, if necessary, with accessories like the Montolit 241 Wheel.
- Use original accessories, such as those available for Montolit products, to ensure optimal performance.
Failing to mark the cutting line correctly
A poorly marked cutting line can result in imprecise outcomes or the need to redo the work, increasing time and costs.
How to avoid it:
- Use a specialized pencil or high-precision marking tools.
- For perfect results, pair a high-quality tile cutter with accurate measuring tools.
Applying too much or too little pressure
An often-overlooked mistake is applying inappropriate pressure during the cut, which can lead to breakage or incomplete cuts.
How to avoid it:
- With a manual tile cutter like the Sigma 7F, apply steady and moderate pressure—perfect for small and medium-sized tiles.
- For electric models, ensure the speed and blade are set correctly for the material. Try the Montolit Masterpiuma 93P3, designed for effortless professional cuts.
Ignoring safety precautions
Skipping protective gear or not using the tool correctly is a mistake that can lead to injuries.
How to avoid it:
- Always wear safety goggles, gloves, and, if necessary, a mask.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for every tile cutter.
