The Carbide Tipped Tile Cutter 130mm is a handheld scoring and snapping tool designed to cut ceramic, porcelain and quarry tiles quickly and accurately. Its primary use is to score the glaze and body of a tile along a straight line so the tile can be snapped cleanly, offering a compact alternative to larger wheeled cutters for on-site trimming and finishing work.

Construction combines a tungsten carbide (WC) tipped scoring wheel with a robust steel and aluminium body. The carbide tip provides superior wear resistance compared with tool-steel cutters, retaining a sharp edge for longer and reducing the need for frequent replacement. The main body is fabricated from die-cast aluminium and hardened carbon-steel components with a corrosion-resistant plated finish to withstand workshop and site conditions. The product is manufactured under ISO 9001 quality management systems and to recognised DIN and BS hand-tool fabrication practices; as a hand operated scoring tool it has no threads, head or drive type applicable.

Typical applications include trimming wall and floor tiles around bath fittings, sockets and doorways, template cutting for mosaics and sanitaryware adjustments, and small-scale restoration work where power tools are impractical. Trades that commonly use this tool are tilers, plumbers, bathroom fitters, landscape contractors and maintenance engineers. The 130mm cutter is particularly useful for narrow cuts, offcuts and when working in confined spaces.

Key benefits of the carbide-tipped design are extended tip life and consistent scoring performance, which reduce the risk of chipping and give cleaner snap lines. The plated steel parts provide everyday corrosion resistance while the lightweight aluminium body improves manoeuvrability. The tool is compatible with standard replaceable carbide scoring wheels available from Duchy Fasteners, making ongoing maintenance straightforward.
