A clean, millimetre-perfect cut isn’t a luxury in tile installation – it’s a necessity. The Ideal tile cutters from Karl Dahm deliver exactly that: reliability, precision, and flexibility – every day, with every cut. Whether on small renovation jobs, bathroom upgrades or demanding construction sites – these manually guided tile cutters are perfectly suited to the needs of professional tradespeople.
With cutting lengths from 370 mm to 1000 mm, they cover a broad range of applications – from small-format wall tiles to large floor slabs. Their clever engineering proves itself time and again in daily use.
Professionals who regularly cut tiles know how demanding the task can be. Inaccurate cuts, unstable guides or tiring operation waste time and energy. This is exactly where Ideal tile cutters come into play:
Solid construction for vibration-free operation
Precision guide rails for clean cuts – including diagonals and repeat work
Smooth gliding cutting carriage with ball bearings for efficient handling
Height-adjustable guide rail for optimal pressure depending on tile thickness
Tungsten carbide cutting wheel with special grind – ideal for porcelain stoneware and tough materials
Every detail is engineered for real-world use – for clean results without reworking.
A tool is only as good as its ease of use. That’s why Ideal tile cutters are designed to ensure efficient power transfer and remain comfortable to handle, even during long periods of use:
Ergonomic handles for controlled cutting pressure
Non-slip work surface for secure tile positioning
Sturdy angle stops for repeatable, millimetre-accurate cuts
Easy-to-read scale for precise measuring directly on the tool
Even with tough materials like porcelain, you stay in full control.
With models offering cutting lengths from 370 mm to 1000 mm, you can handle both compact and large tile formats efficiently. This saves time on retooling and guarantees flexibility on ever-changing job sites.
The cutters are suitable for porcelain stoneware, earthenware, ceramic tiles, glass mosaic, terracotta and clinker bricks. Even delicate surfaces are safe thanks to the rubber-coated guide rail.
Every professional knows: tools must be cared for. Ideal tile cutters are easy to clean and maintain:
Replaceable cutting wheels for consistently clean results
Accessible guides for quick lubrication
Durable components minimise upkeep needs
Waterproof bonded birch plywood baseboard prevents warping
Galvanised metal parts resist corrosion and weathering
