Manual vs electric tile cutting – which tool is right for you?

When it comes time to cut tiles, one of the most common questions among novice tilers is: do I need a manual or electric cutter? Below, we compare the two approaches and provide tips on how to choose the one that best suits your way of working.

Manual tile cutters

Advantages:

  • No need for electricity
  • Quieter operation
  • Less dust
  • Easier handling and portability

We recommend:

  • Montolit Masterpiuma P5
  • Sigma Series 4

They are ideal for smaller projects and working in confined spaces.

Electric tile cutters

Advantages:

  • They precisely cut hard materials like porcelain and granite
  • Suitable for larger formats
  • They accelerate the execution of larger projects

We recommend:

They are intended for professionals who work with larger quantities of tiles every day.

If you're just starting out, a good hand cutter will suffice for most standard tasks. For larger or specialized projects, investing in an electric cutter can save you a lot of time and improve the quality of your work.
