What is slabcores
So, the manual stoveture is a simple mechanical tool (acts with the help of human hand) for cutting different types of tiles. The main part of its design is a cutter, which conducts on the front side of the tile, and gently knocking on it, the tile is blocked along the cut line.
It is easy to handle it and conveniently work without dust and noise. But choosing a manual stovetur, think why you need it: for rare, home use and for long, frequent professional use. Pay attention to the tile thickness with which you work, that is, to the depth and length of the cut.
Choosing a slab in the store, do not look at the price, and on its characteristics and quality. If it is needed for long-term use, then buy a high-quality professional tool.
Properties of high-quality manual slab
When choosing tool, pay attention to:
- The strength of the frame is that it does not quickly fail, it should have a thick, durable, hard frame. Check the handle and lever. It should have a strong handle and a powerful lever. This is very important, especially if you cut fear stonewares.
- Tool length. Since the length of the tile cut can vary from 100 to 750 mm, respectively, the tiles should have this length. Do not save, buying short plates. Better overpay and buy a universal tool. With it, you can easily achieve the depth of the tile cutting from 3 to 30 mm, for walls and for the floor, or when you need to cut diagonally. Of course, you can break the tile using the grinder, but it is very dusty and noisy.
- Smooth stroke. In fact, all the strong plates have in their device bearings that contribute to the smooth slide of the cutter during operation. Before buying, will certainly test the tiles. Cut multiple tiles to make sure that the mechanism runs smoothly and clearly, and the tile is blocked strictly along the cut line.
- The base should be attached to the desktop and not slide.
- It is desirable that it was equipped with a tilter, and allowed to strengthen the tile at any angle in the direction of the cutting roller movement.
Technical characteristics of manual slab
The basic part of each tile cutter is a cutting roller made of solid fused steel. The cutting quality becomes worse as the roller is blown off. It cannot be sharpened as an ordinary knife, but only replace. A more expensive tool is equipped with a roller with a diamond coating. It is more durable and allows you to do a long-term res.
There are also plates having a swivel line with which, you can make a cut under the necessary angle. High-quality plates of different well-known firms manufacturers have all sorts of options:
- mOCELLATE MATERIALLY MODE,
- restrictions on the movement of the rolling paws,
- preventing edge crumbling.
One disadvantage of almost all stovetures is the fact that they do not cut off about 4-5 mm from the edges of the tile. And then you have to use special nippers or a grinder.
Platekores are three types:
- which make an incision, and the master cleans the tile by hands;
- fully cut the material;
- blinking small pieces from the edge.
And:
- nippers, with which, you can make curly cuts in the tile up to 8 mm;
- separately cutting roller for performing direct or curly cuts up to 15 mm.
- the electric stoveture allows you to interture to the exact parts of the tile with a thickness of up to 40 mm.
Summing up a small result, we can say that for laying the houses of the house in the kitchen or in the bathroom you will be suitable for hand tiles mechanical for cuts up to 15 mm, and if you are going to work professionally, then you will need an electric stovetur for cuts with a depth of up to 40 mm.
And one more advice: before deciding which manual tiles to buy, view all the available photos and videos on the Internet about the possibilities and methods of work of each type of existing tiles.
