Hi, thanks for this fantastic video! I just picked one up mainly because the ones I had in the past would always curve at the far end on harder porcelain , especially textured. I have found that it has a lot to do with me as I still experience this albeit a lot less but I still do on the long cuts even with this P3. What is the remedy for this? I’m told not to put too much pressure etc , the Only way I can consistently rid of the curve is to go over the far end a few times but you make it look so easy I have to be doing something wrong. You also don’t seem to be putting a ton of pressure as well. How much pressure is correct?? Thank you!!
Thank you for your comments on the video. The pressure applied for cutting porcelain tiles with this cutter will vary from tile to tile, but the lighter the pressure used to create the score, the more likely you will be to achieve a crisp cut edge. All tiles will behave differently so you may have to cut a few before you will get the best cuts. Before snapping the tile, the ideal aim is to have a continuous score line across the face of the tile, from edge to edge, consistent all the way across in depth and without any interruptions. Generally this is easier to achieve on polished or smooth faced porcelain and more difficult to achieve with textured tiles. For very heavily textured tiles it may not be suitable to use a manual cutter at all and turn to a bench cutter or angle grinder with diamond blade, depending on what you have access to. If you are getting a curved cut, too much pressure may be an issue, but we would also recommend ensuring there is no play/ movement in the scoring wheel (maybe a new pin and wheel needed?) and to check the guide bar is also straight. If you are local to an N&C store, we have a demonstration Montolit Masterpiuma P3 at every one of our stores and all of our staff are trained on how to use and demonstrate this machine. Please feel free to drop in to one of the stores and ask for a demonstration, where the team will be able to demonstrate and discuss cutting porcelain.
Omg this is an awesome tool.just love it .
Congratulations nice tile cuter
Wow!
Thanks for the presentation. Is it possible to cut 45 deg at cross section edge for joining 2tiles at 90deg.. where I can buy the device?

I have porcelain tile that's 0.5 inch thick and very hard. Will this tile cutter work? tile is 12x24 and I need to cut lengthwise.
