Tile Cutting Nib Pen Dedra DED018 — manual glass and ceramic cutter, spare nib DED018

Dedra DED018 is a replacement nib in a pen-style format designed for manual scoring of tiles, glass and ceramics. The cutting nib provides a precise contact point for tracing score lines on glazed ceramic, porcelain and glass surfaces before breaking or snapping. As a spare part for handheld tile cutters and pen-style scoring tools, it restores accurate scoring performance without requiring a full tool replacement, making it practical for repair shops, installers and DIY users.

Advantages

The pen-style replacement nib delivers a consistent and narrow scoring line that helps achieve straight and controlled breaks. Its simple fitment into compatible handheld cutters makes installation quick and straightforward, reducing downtime. Because it is a dedicated scoring tip for ceramic, porcelain and glass, the nib maintains reliable surface contact and preserves the integrity of the material edge during cutting.

Suitable for

• Manual scoring of glazed ceramic tiles and porcelain
• Score-and-snap cutting of glass sheets and small panes
• Replacement nib for pen-style handheld tile cutters
• Repair workshops, tiling contractors and DIY home projects

Key specifications

• Format: pen-style replacement cutting nib suitable for handheld scoring tools
• Intended materials: glazed ceramic, porcelain and glass
• Function: provides a precise single-point contact for scoring lines
• Compatibility: designed as a spare tip for compatible manual tile/glass scoring pens and cutters

How to use

Insert the replacement nib into the pen-style cutter according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions until it seats securely. Position the scored surface on a stable, flat support and mark the cutting line. Apply steady, even pressure while drawing the nib once along the intended break line to create a continuous score. After scoring, use the appropriate snap or breaking method for the material: for tiles, apply controlled pressure along the score; for glass, use a suitable breaking tool or pliers. Replace the nib when scoring performance declines or the line becomes uneven.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the working surface is clean and free of debris before scoring. Use consistent speed and pressure to avoid double scoring or chipping the glaze. Keep spare nibs on hand for professional or frequent use, and follow safety precautions such as eye protection and gloves when scoring and breaking tiles or glass.
