Customer Reviews for QEP 28 in. Ceramic and Porcelain Professional Tile Cutter with 7/8 in. Scoring Wheel with Ball Bearings

Actually I was surprised at how easy it was to use. For a small, inexpensive cutter it was very efficient. A slight pressure was required to ‘score’ the tile. Then, following the instructions you use the cutter to clamp down on the scored area and break it off. This item is for ceramic wall tile. Safety glasses should be worn.

So, I thought it was just me but i had multiple people try this and regardless of the intensity of the scoring line, everytime we tried to snap the line it would shatter the ceramic tiles. Waste of money, waste of tiles.

Picture is not what you receive. The overall construction is not consistent with photo.

Looked everywhere for an affordable 36" tile cutter. Great news this unit will cut 36" tiles no problem. The box says 35" but don't let that throw you off. I've done about 100 hundred cuts and clean cuts every time. Just make sure don't apply too much pressure while cutting. One quick snap and breaks clean.

Professional grade, easy to use, and came already assembled. I wish I had purchased this earlier in my fireplace remodel. I was using a Dremel to saw through the tile. It left a whole lot of dust all over the place, the blade overheated, and I ended up chipping my tile. My cuts were not accurate. Once I purchased this QEP 35 in. Rip and 24 in. Diagonal, Porcelain and Ceramic Tile Cutter the going was accurate and smooth! This is highly recommended. In m opinion, the price was appropriate and the quality high-end.

Great option if you're not looking to break out the wet saw. Much quicker to get setup and obviously less messy. You just need to have some patience and be sure you're applying even pressure as you score the tile. I only had one instance were I ruined a cut and it was because I was trying to go too fast. I recently used this and a set of tile nippers to finish a smaller bathroom and felt like it went much quicker than previous jobs when I would have to go outside to cut on the saw. Another plus is that replacement parts are readily available should you needed them.

The best tile cutter for the money! Very easy to use and built sturdy. So many features and details that allow for precise cuts. The cutter can handle tile up to 24" wide. Larger tiles can be supported by the fully adjustable extension arms on both sides of the aluminum alloy base. The padded extension arms adjust to any angle which came in really handle when I had some odd sized tiles. I was able to adjust the arms to different angles to support the tile. There's an adjustable edge guide with preset rulers and angles to make alignment easy. The angle guide goes up to 60 degrees and adjusts easily by loosening and tightening one lever. Centering the cut is very easy as well when you use the 2 different rulers on the cutter. One ruler is along the top of the table's tile edge guide. The second ruler is along the sliding angle arm. Measure twice - cut once. Always perfect! The base is very stable and includes rubber feet. The handle is comfortable and the perfect size for a firm grip. Scoring the tile doesn't take much pressure. They recommend medium pressure but I find a light scoring did the trick. I've used it to cut small tile to large tile and its been spot on. The edges are clean, precise and even. The pre-set angles are spot on right out of the box. The cutter glides easily over the 2 chrome-plated rails due to the ball bearings. Low maintenance too. No oil required on the bearings or bars. One small complaint, the instructions don't tell you how to adjust the cutting wheel height or how to remove it. Otherwise, huge time-saver next to a tile saw and amazingly precise!

Didn't cut not one tile. This item was returned with sheer disappointment.

A piece of junk...don't waste your money. The scoring wheel does nothing and only 1 of 4 tiles cut as measured.

It worked ok, I had a 8x2 inch ceramic tile. I needed to make a straight cut, it veered off a little on the ends. Not sure if I could have filed it straight-I didn’t try. Decided to rent a wet saw.

The cutter worked as expected and arrived quickly

Perfect tool for small tile jobs, in my case, the border on a fire pit.

The product worked well for our project of cutting a long tile.

Barely scored the tile , when we went to snap the tile it would break tile.

It did not work for me. I bought it for a very small project, and it didn't help to cut anything. It was a waste of time and money. I will definitively will return it to the store.

The rubber piece broke on the first tile. The cutting wheel barely scratched the surface. The tile was ceramic but too hard for the cutter.

I do not even give this tool a one star rating. Do not buy this tool. It failed on the second tile I tried to cut. The tool is not robust enough to cut tile. The score disc is not robust as well as the plastic bottom to apply pressure when breaking.

The tool was too cumbersome and difficult to use.

I used this to install a subway tile backsplash in my small kitchen. For 3x6 subway tile this worked pretty well, especially when cutting a tile in half vertically (which is what I did the most of). This didn’t work as well for horizontal cuts (lines would be wavy instead of straight), or for when a small amount (an inch or less) needed trimmed off a piece. I only had a handful of tiles break while trying to cut them. This tool was also significantly cheaper than buying or renting a tile saw

This handheld tile cutter surprised me. It was very easy to use and made pretty even cuts.

No issues we able to cut the tile without any failure or issues

Difficult to use didn’t cut the tile very well
