Bore diameter
The diameter of the mounting hole on the cutting disc that the tile cutter is compatible with. This parameter is important when searching for and purchasing interchangeable working nozzles: the diameters of the mounting hole on the tile cutter and on the disk must match.
Cutting length
The longest cut that can be made with a tile cutter.
This parameter is relevant primarily for manual tile cutters, as well as for electric stationary units with a top disc feed. In such tools, the cutting element moves along the guide rail and has limited space for movement, and the length of the cut is, in fact, the length of the stroke of the cutting tool from one extreme point to the other. In fact, this is the maximum width of the material that can be cut with a tile cutter.
Cutter diameter
The diameter of the cutting tool in a manual tile cutter (see "Type"). Since in this case the cutter should not cut through the tile, its diameter practically does not affect the performance of the tile cutter — information about the diameter of the cutter can be useful only if it needs to be replaced.
Max. tile thickness
Thickest tile thickness that a manual tile cutter can handle (see "Type"). Since in such tools the tile does not cut through, but breaks along a pre-drawn line, the characteristics do not indicate the depth of the cut, but directly the thickness of the material. This indicator is directly related to the pressure on the fault (see below). Also note that it is quite approximate — the actual capabilities of the tile cutter depend on the characteristics of the material from which the particular tile is made, as well as the physical form of the user.
