Background
The QEP 10552 20 Inch Professional Tile Cutter is a tool used for cutting various types of tiles. This tile cutter is capable of cutting ceramic, porcelain, and glass tiles up to 20 inches in square or up to 14 inches diagonally. It is made with materials such as aluminum alloy and rubber.
The tile cutter is equipped with a 7/8 inch tungsten carbide cutting wheel and a linear ball bearing system, which allows for a smooth sliding action during operation. It also includes chrome-plated steel guide rails with rubber bumpers. The cutter provides an adjustable rip guide for making cuts at different angles. It has rubber pads used to protect the tiles during the cutting process. The device is designed to be compact and lightweight. To use the tile cutter, the tile is positioned on the rubber pads and the cut line is aligned with the cutting wheel. The lever is then pulled down smoothly to score the tile. Increasing downward pressure will snap the tile along the scored line. When necessary, the cutting wheel and guide rails can be removed and replaced.
