Marshalltown 17" (432 mm) Tile Cutter,Multi,One Size,TC17

Easy set up and didn’t take too many tiles to get it to cut what I needed. I was afraid that it wouldn’t cut 1/2 in ceramic Mexican tiles (and to their credit I emailed Marshalltown to confirm if it could handle 1/2 inch and they replied to give me some help in making the experience not so frustrating.). The manual and most resources I found didn’t really say if cutting was better on the front or back of the tile but for me cutting the 1/2 inch tile worked fine (with some added careful pressure) scoring on the back of the tile and could snap the tile at either the top or the bottom of the score. Where scoring on the front of the tile did nothing. Sometime I score more than once which helps a little. The little cutter is solid but pressing hard to snap thick tiles can cause the rails to flex, otherwise it stays pretty solid. I’m confident I’ll get better and will have no problem finishing my project and that for the low price I paid, the cutter will last for a long, long time. Highly recommended!

Does the job

I used it on wavy subway tiles. Worked perfectly for an entire kitchen backsplash. My first attempt— so don’t judge it’s ability to cut straight on my cuts, ha! But it really cut easily, and I got narrower than I thought— see below the vent.

strong, well made product, a pleasure to use.

Very easy. Quick no mess and you don’t have to go outside to cut like a wet saw.
