Ingco PTC8001 Tile Cutter(PTC8001)

The Ingco PTC8001 appears to be a table-mounted tile cutter designed for precise and efficient cutting of ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, and other fragile materials. Here’s a breakdown of its features and what to consider before buying one:

Possible Specifications 

• Power: Not applicable; the PTC8001 is a manual tile cutter and doesn’t require a motor.
• Rip Cut Capacity: Up to 620mm (information found on retailer websites and user manuals). This refers to the maximum length the tile cutter can handle for straight cuts.
• Diagonal Cut Capacity: Information might be limited online, but some tile cutters have a diagonal cutting capacity less than the rip cut capacity.
• Cutting Depth: Up to 36mm at 90 degrees and 29mm at 45 degrees (information found on retailer websites and user manuals). This indicates the maximum thickness of the tile that can be cut at a 90-degree angle (straight cut) and a 45-degree angle (diagonal cut).
• Table Size: Around 890x394mm (information found on retailer websites and user manuals). This provides a stable platform for maneuvering tiles during cutting.
• Material:
  • Table: Likely made of steel or aluminum for durability (information not always available online).
  • Cutting Base: Could be steel or a combination of materials for sturdiness.

Features:

• Mitre Gauge: This adjustable guide allows for making precise angle cuts up to 45 degrees (information might need confirmation from retailer descriptions or user manuals).
• Water Tray: Some models might have a water tray to capture water used for lubrication during cutting, reducing dust and keeping the cutting line cool (information might need confirmation from retailer descriptions or user manuals).
• Portable Design: The table-mounted design allows for portability compared to larger stationary tile cutters.

Things to Consider Before Buying:

• Project Needs: Consider the size of the tiles you’ll be cutting and the frequency of use. If you’ll be cutting large tiles or working frequently, a more robust tile cutter might be preferable.
• Diagonal Cutting: If you need to make frequent diagonal cuts, confirm the diagonal cutting capacity of the PTC8001 and compare it to your tile sizes.
• Water Tray: If dust control is a concern, look for confirmation of a water tray in the retailer description or user manual.
