Best Tile Cutters in the UK

The Einhell TH-TC 618 is as mean as these machines come.

Its large worktable incorporates secure support structure for guiding standard tile sizes. The product has an easy-to-read angle scale. You can tilt this machine for clean cuts. Meanwhile, there are these two locks that make sure the steel table is securely fastened.

The robust parallel stop has this scale that enables you to set the cutting width, making the machine well-equipped to perform simple cuts as well as angle cuts and precise longitudinal cuts.

The extra angle stop pretty much guarantees fast and precise cutting at a 45-degree angle.

On the disc side, the diamond cutting wheel that comes supplied with the machine runs in this water tank that not only continuously cools the wheel but also prevents dust spread, enabling clean and cool cutting no matter what.

Apart from that, the tile cutter's tough frame comes fitted with these non-slip feet that provide stability through mobile use.

The guide's somewhat flimsy and fiddly compared to every other component, that's the only negative thing we have to say about this product.

Setting the guide aside, the Einhell TH-TC 618 is this compact, mobile machine that will let you cut indoor wall tiles and floor tiles exactly to the size. Considering the well-thought-out and complete construction, this is easily the best tile cutter on this list.

The Plasplugs Compact Plus XL DWW200 Electric Tile Cutter looks pretty basic. The machine's anything but basic though.

First things first, the water recirculation mechanism enables quick and clean cutting, all whilst making sure that the dust is kept to a minimum. At the same time, the splash guard prevents this mechanism from turning the worktable into a wet mess.

The anti-slip bench stops provide stability and keep the cutting process safe and secure.

On the other side, there's the integral ruler that enables accurate and precise cutting.

Of course, there are these standard facilities too, including the parallel guide that lets you execute accurate straight cuts and non-slip feet that keep the stand slide-free.

The textured handle gives you a firm but comfortable grip, so you'll have no issues carrying this 4.3-kilogram machine.

The high-torque no-stall motor delivers 4600 revolutions per minute, while the high-quality system isolation makes sure that the vibrations are kept to a minimum.

The cutting disc is tiresome to replace though.

Long story short, the Plasplugs Compact Plus XL DWW200 Electric Tile Cutter will let you cut pretty much anything, from ceramic, porcelain, and slate to quarry, stone, and marble. You'll be able to execute shaped cuts, corners, holes, insets, and pipes.

The VITREX 103402 Diamond Blade Tile Cutting Saw is fairly popular for good reasons. Considering its specs and everything that the machine is able to do, the price is almost too affordable.

This universal tile cutter comes fitted with this 110 x 22mm diamond blade. Its continuous rim enables extra-clean cuts.

The relatively powerful 450-watt motor lets the machine gracefully and easily chew through <25mm tiles. As long as you don't force the tiles through the saw, you'll have no issues cutting these tiles, also prolonging the machine's service life.

Pivoting towards construction, the instrument's double-extension tables will let you cut larger format tiles. At the same time, the integral ruler and quick-release rip guide will make sure you're able to achieve ~100% straight cuts.

Of course, the affordable price means the people behind this product had to cut corners somewhere. For one, adjusting the fence will prove fairly tedious because you have to position and clamp both ends for accuracy. Also, the cutter's 3.5-kilogram weight makes transportation particularly easy but also means that you might accidentally move the machine.

Bottom line, the VITREX 103402 Diamond Blade Tile Cutting Saw is as good as these machines get within this price bracket. The cutter's perfect for home use. The wheel guard and the protected on/off switch make this machine especially safe.

The FERM TCM1010 Tile Cutter does not mess around.

Its water-cooling system enables dust-free, high-precision cutting, extending the blade's service life and keeping the machine in an excellent condition for years to come. The reservoir is mounted on the cutter's side, so you'll have no issues refilling it.

You can adjust the chrome-plated from 0 to 45 degrees to achieve precise angle cutting. Meanwhile, the parallel and mitre guides will make sure you're able to make every cut as precise as possible.

Housing this mid-range 600W motor that's able to produce 2950 revolutions per minute, the machine's 34mm maximum cutting width will let you cut various tiles.

The machine weighs 8.7 kilograms. As you'd imagine, carrying this unit won't be the most pleasant experience. On the flip side, the weight makes the machine stable enough on pretty much any worktable. Plus, the product incorporates brackets that let you bolt this unit down to the benchtop for extra stability.

The machine's fairly loud. Fortunately, the manufacturers supply you with earplugs as well as safety glasses, so you won't have to purchase these necessary accessories separately.

In closing, the FERM TCM1010 Tile Cutter is good enough for small-time professional use and more than good enough for DIYers. You'll be able to do solid lapidary work on a modest budget.

The KATSU Tools 101813 Tile Cutting Saw is somewhat weird. In some ways, this is an excellent machine. In certain ways, the product is poorly balanced.

For example, drawing 450 watts, the cutter's motor is able to produce 5400 revolutions per minute, so you'll have no issues cutting through anything, from marble ceramic to quarry, stone, and porcelain tiles. On the other hand, the 23mm maximum cutting height means that you won't be able to comfortable cut those fancy massive tiles that are becoming more and more popular these days.

Again, on one hand, the water-cooling system is great, keeping the worktable dust-free and aiding high-precision cutting. On the other hand, it is somewhat poorly thought-out because the water reservoir is inconvenient to access, so pouring the water out and refilling the reservoir when necessary is a hurdle.

Having said that, these relatively small issues don't negate the product's many selling points, including the standard mechanisms like the parallel guide that lets you make accurate straight cuts and the wheel guard that makes sure you don't accidentally chew through your fingers.

All things considered, the KATSU Tools 101813 Tile Cutting Saw has its flaws but the product's advantages outweigh these flaws. Its speed and precision will enable you to saw different tiles with ease and efficiency.
