If you are working on a minor tiling project, you may not need an expensive tile saw. There are many different tile cutters to choose from, so if your project is not a lengthy or large task you may benefit from simply using a manual tile cutter. There are two main types of manual tile cutters: the push type, where you push on the handle to get the blade across the tile; and the pull type, which does the opposite. Here are five of the best Sigma manual tile cutters for small and medium size tiles.

How Does a Pull Type Manual Tile Cutter Work?

Also known as a snap tile cutter or rail tile cutter, a pull type manual tile cutter is designed to work like a glass cutter. A glass cutter has a carbide wheel, which is slowly and forcefully drawn across the glass tile to create a scoring line. Once the score has been made, the excess tile is snapped off with a tool or by hand. A snap cutter works very much the same, except, when the tile is inserted into the machine, the wheel is drawn across it. After the score has been made, the built-in “snapper” moves into place. Pull back on a lever and the snapper will put pressure on the score until the tile breaks in half. Manual ceramic and porcelain tile cutters work best for smaller projects like the bathroom or kitchen. It is ideal for tile edgework that covers baseboards, molding, cabinets, etc. Also, if you are working with tiles sized 4” x 4” and 12” x 12”, the manual tile cutter is the right tool for the job.
