Porcelain tiles are beautiful but challenging to cut. They’re harder, denser, and more brittle than ceramic tiles — which means using the wrong tools can lead to chipping, breakage, and costly waste. For U.S. contractors, the solution lies in professional-grade electric tile cutters.
1. Choose the Right Blade
Porcelain requires diamond-tipped, water-cooled blades for smooth, chip-free cuts.

2. Use Water Cooling to Reduce Friction
Wandeli’s water-cooled systems reduce blade heat and friction, ensuring a clean finish on every cut.

3. Stabilize the Tile During Cutting
Even the best blade can’t help if the tile shifts mid-cut. Wandeli’s stable aluminum frames and smooth rail systems prevent movement.
4. Cut at a Consistent Speed
Avoid rushing — a steady feed rate ensures the blade works evenly across the tile.
5. Consider Upgrading to Automatic Models
For contractors handling large volumes of porcelain tiles, automatic tile cutters like the QX-ZD-1200 save time and deliver flawless edges.
