Tile Giant Economy Tile Cutter Review – Tiling our Bathroom Ourselves
Well, it was actually my husband who did all the tiling but he did it himself when we recently renovated our bathroom. We’re so pleased with the result – we now have a modern and stylish bathroom to enjoy! We finally have a bathtub which I’m so happy about and I’m sure it will be great for the kids too. Up until now, we’ve had to use a small fold-up bath tub in the shower for our toddler. Having an actual full size bathtub will make bath time so much easier for us.
One of the tools that we used for this project was the Economy Tile Cutter from Tile Giant. It’s available in 300mm and 400mm depending on the size of your tiles.
It can handle tiles with a thickness of up to 10mm and has a metal base, a measurement guide and a tungsten carbide wheel. It was easy to use and it’s a decent price. The cutter we got was unfortunately not completely straight so we had to offset the tile a tiny bit for each cut but that wasn’t a huge problem.
I wish these cutters came in larger sizes too as we chose big tiles and needed to complement with a bigger cutter to cut the tiles horizontally for the top row of tiles.
Do check if you’ll need to cut tiles horizontally too (if they’re large) before choosing a tile cutter and its size to make sure that it will be able to do all the cuts that you need for your project.
A tile cutter is an essential tool for any tiling job and it’s great to have one available at home for future DIY tiling projects.
