12-Inch Tile Cutter
The Westward 13P554 is a manual tile cutter designed for straight cuts in ceramic and similar materials. It features a chrome-plated steel frame and a steel handle measuring 11 inches. The tool weighs 5.72 units and includes a replacement blade for extended use. Overall length is 19 1/4 inches with a width of 6 3/4 inches.
Suited For And Not
This cutter suits installers making straight cuts on tiles up to 1/4 inch thick. It is not for users needing diagonal cutting capability or those working with thicker stone or porcelain slabs. Buyers requiring powered wet saws for high-volume jobs should look elsewhere.
Maximum Cutting Thickness
The decisive specification is the maximum compatible thickness of 1/4 inch for straight cuts. This limit determines whether the tool matches the material on site. Verify your tile thickness before purchase.

Questions about this item
What surface or base must I already have to use the 12 in tile cutter?
The cutter rests on any flat, stable workbench or table; no special mounting hardware is included.
Will the 11 in steel handle give enough leverage if I keep using my older manual scoring wheel?
Yes, the 11 in steel handle provides comparable leverage to traditional scoring wheels for straight cuts up to 1/4 in thick tile.
How do I verify the chrome-plated blade is cutting cleanly after I install the replacement blade?
Make a test cut on a scrap tile; a smooth, chip-free edge with no visible scoring marks confirms the blade is working as intended.
