Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 30-in Ceramic Tile Cutter Kit

Versatile and well-made

Easy to use. Quality made. Cuts are precise. Mobile. Machine is mostly metal. Has a warranty. Cuts porcelain and ceramic tile. Limited instructions , but easy to figure out.

Scoring wheel not centered

I had high hopes for the Kobalt 24" tile cutter but just returned one. I have two criticisms for the tool I purchased the main one being the scoring wheel was offset from center making it almost impossible to get a clean cut/break. Lost several tile trying. The other thing I did not like was the raised bar for breaking tile once scored was only about 4 inches long, whereas other tile cutters I have used the bar is full length or almost. If Kobalt improves these things I will buy another but ...

Cuts large tiles up to 24 inches.

Worked well.

Poor quality control: offset cutting wheel

I had high hopes for this cutter, but I quickly noticed that the cutting wheel that scores the tile was offset at least 1/16" from the underlying metal bar that is used to snap the tile after it's scored! No wonder there's so many reviews that say the tile chipped or broke unevenly or at the wrong location. It still works if you remember to move every tile over slightly after scoring it, but that adds extra time to every cut.

bad news

this is garbage it destroyed multiple tiles just broke in half if you use any pressure at all and its not level

Very easy to use. Excellent results!

The last time my husband and I tiled, we used a wet saw. But after reading about this, I thought we would give it a try. We are putting in the 12X24 inch porcelain tile and wow, did this make it easy for us. No water, no real mess. We were able to cut all the pieces inside, where we were working. We watched a how to on Youtube, then did a couple of practice cuts to get the pressure right. My first cut was perfect. My husband was too forceful on his first cut so he had to back off. It takes a lig...

Works great

I like the time it saves. There’s a learning curve just practice on scraps first. Clean after each cut. I only wish there was a way to get a new bridge, the 4,inch piece at the top of the piece.

Easy, but not perfect.

I am upgrading a bathroom countertop by replacing the original Formica with 12 x 24 inch porcelain tile. The scoring wheel produces a straight edge on the tile surface, but not necessarily all the way through the 3/8 inch - which means the snapped edge often requires a good deal of shaping using a coarse stone hand block, file, rotary sander, or grinder - especially with narrow grout spacing. Be prepared to do this.

I've used this in about 2 dozen tile jobs

I liked this over Rubi and would buy again if need be. Cutters can be finicky and each tile as well, once you get used to it, it will serve you well. Best cutter for the price, next upgrade would be above $600 and it may not be worth it as this performs pretty well.

Buy 30 in over 24 in you won’t regret it

I am so glad that I went with the 30 in it cuts the 24 in tile that I work with like a dream

Great tool at a great price.

Great tool! Saves the mess and hassle of using water. Can keep it in your work area. Cuts are just as smooth. Easy to work with. Long cuts no problem.
