Walmer MGM800 — manual tile cutter with an 800 mm maximum cutting length and flat 20×10 mm guides, designed for scoring and snapping ceramic and porcelain tiles. The tool combines a rigid carriage and guide system that keeps the cutting wheel on a straight path and provides repeatable, accurate breaks without power supply. The compact design and manual operation make it suitable for on-site work, renovation projects and installations where electrical tools are impractical or unavailable.
Advantages
The Walmer MGM800 offers a robust guiding system with flat 20×10 mm rails that reduce play and improve straightness of the cut. Its 800 mm cutting capacity supports standard sheet sizes and larger formats commonly used in floor and wall tiling. The rigid carriage ensures consistent pressure during scoring and snapping, which helps achieve clean edges with minimal chipping. As a manual tile cutter, it requires no electricity, making it portable, quiet and safe to use in confined or remote locations.

- Operation type: manual scoring and snapping
- Material compatibility: ceramic and porcelain tiles

How to use
Position the tile on the cutter bed, aligning the desired cutting line with the scoring wheel and guides. Hold the tile firmly against the front stop or fence, then run the scoring wheel along the tile once with steady pressure to create a clean score line. After scoring, apply downward pressure on the breaker handle or carriage to snap the tile along the scored line. For thicker or denser porcelains, make a firm, continuous score and ensure even pressure when snapping to reduce chipping.
Usage recommendations
Use an appropriate tungsten carbide scoring wheel for hard porcelain and replace the wheel when scoring quality decreases. Always secure the tile and wear eye protection when snapping. For accurate long cuts, support the tile fully along its length and perform the score in a single smooth pass.
