There are two main types of tile cutter blades: blades for manual tile cutters and blades for electric tile cutters.

Manual Tile Cutter Blae

• Manual tile cutters use a scoring blade made of tungsten carbide or titanium.
• These blades are designed to create a scratch on the surface of the tile, which allows you to break the tile along the score line.
• When choosing a blade for a manual tile cutter, consider the thickness and hardness of the tile you will be cutting. Thicker and harder tiles will require a more heavy-duty blade.

• Electric tile cutters use a diamond blade to cut through the tile.

• Diamond blades are made with tiny diamond particles embedded in a metal disc. The diamonds are very hard and can cut through even the toughest tiles.

• When choosing a blade for an electric tile cutter, consider the following factors:

  • The type of tile you will be cutting: There are different diamond blades designed for different types of tiles, such as ceramic, porcelain, stone, and glass.
  • The diameter of the blade: The diameter of the blade should be compatible with your tile cutter.
  • The width of the rim: The width of the rim will affect the width of the kerf (the cut made by the blade). A wider rim will create a wider kerf.
  • The continuous rim vs. segmented rim: Continuous rim blades are designed for smooth, clean cuts. Segmented rim blades have a series of notches in the rim, which helps to reduce dust and chipping.

Here are some additional tips for choosing a tile cutter blade:

• Buy a blade from a reputable manufacturer.
• Choose a blade that is the right size for your tile cutter.
• Consider the type of tile you will be cutting and choose a blade that is designed for that type of tile.
• Replace your blade when it becomes dull or damaged. A dull blade will not cut cleanly and can damage your
