Demonstration of Montolit Masterpiuma P3 score and snap tile cutter. This is a very capable and very versatile tile cutter. In this video I demonstrate how I cut tile with very little effort. Professional quality tools will perform much better and move the job along, the ability to reliably cut tiles by just scoring and snapping will save a lot of time and effort. This is a very high quality snap cutter, very well designed and made to cut all types of available ceramics, porcelain and glass tiles, including glass mosaic.

The montolit masterpiuma P3 is a top notch professional rail cutter in my opinion. Great video Sal!

[@michaelarredondo30]

Very nice breaks its ability to cut down that small is imprssive. Thanks for all you do Sal.

[@thomaskelly2572]

sigma seem to have the edge on durability , I bought the 1500cm maxi cut sigma which is the new range and it's unbelievably accurate for large format tile even on uneven 15mm tile , love your videos sal

[@Chinchic101]

i think santa is going to need to make a Uturn...nice cutter. thanks for the video sal

[@iaabbss1]

happy new year!

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Those long skinny rips are amazing! My little Felker could never do those

[@carlosperezbarrio628]

​@fartpooboxohyeah8611 muy cierto lo que dices . Yo siempre procuro repartir medidas para eliminar las piezas demasiado pequeñas , o intentar ponerlas en zonas poco visibles .hay alicatadores que todavía no han aprendido a replantear un despiece en sus trabajos ,y luego aparecen tiras finas y cuchillos por todas partes.

[@soufiane6854]

Can you do a review about PROFI tile cutter, and a comparison between the montolit and the PROFI, thanks

[@user-pf7um3du9v]

it is very nice:-) cool:-)

[@JAYJAYJAY53]

SWEET , nothing like working with a quality tool regardless of your trade

[@WonderBlueBoy]

Can you see the cutting wheel on it clearly ?? Like for a off cut

[@stevemcwilliams8680]

Just bought this cutter. Paid for itself in the first job. Only complaint is it's tough to see your marks for point to point cuts. The single bar makes it hard see your marks. I wish the entire scale was in inches. Anything less than 2 1/2" inches is metric. Otherwise it's a great cutter. I'm very happy with it.

[@DelAchamanChinet]

Es uno de los pequeños inconvenientes con respecto a los cortadores con doble guía, tipo rubi .... mi consejo es que se aprende a trabajar con la regla de medición y no marcado en la cerámica. Saludos

[@stevemcwilliams8680]

99% of the time I just use the guide rule for square cuts. I only mark the tile when it's out of square.

[@hiddencityboxing4564]

Rubi or this cutting board better??

[@richardpeatmont4231]

any one know if that square goes up to the blade ?? with the TS 60 the square does not meet up to the blade and repetitive cuts of less than half inch are impossible any thoughts Sal and btw great demo videos thank you.

[@djfglobal3377]

richard peatmont Couldn’t you use another tile as your “stop” that tile would rest against the stop . Example: set your stop 3” 1/4 away from blade and use a 3 “ tile against that and now butting tile to be cut to the 3” tile instead of directly against factory stop. Thus achieving in this situation 1/4” Just a thought , good luck

[@rasmorgan11]

i cant seem to find/order the oil packets. do you know where i can order those?

[@patrickweaver5290]

Amazon

[@hazmat2448]

Hi Sal.....thank you for all your videos....my question is how long does that cutter wheel last? Do you change it out on every job? Thanks in advance....

[@SalDiBlasi]

Wheel lasts a very long time, i use this cutter on most jobs and it still has the original wheel, no sign of ware.

[@grantmcbride674]

Hi sal. I just got myself the rubi tp 93s. If you have used it. How do you think it compares to this. Cheers

[@SalDiBlasi]

They are both great cutters, you can't go wrong with either.

[@grantmcbride674]

Sal DiBlasi thanks sal. Keep up the good work

[@kenofthesea]

You seem to have an easier time with this machine than I do. The tiles want to splinter at the end when I make the break. Any tips?

[@SalDiBlasi]

This is a great machine, make sure you are scoring the entire length of the tile, from back to front, use a constant even pressure. There is a very small percentage of tiles that will be difficult to snap with this kind of cutter, the oil blister will help for most of those, but that still leaves a few that can only be cut on a wet saw.

[@trbgeneralconstruction555]

Does it cut river rock mosaic ? I just order it and I was just wondering

[@SalDiBlasi]

I have never tried that, it might.

[@envisionelectronics]

Sal, what are the limitations of this type of cutter? How does a wet saw compare?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Tile cutters in general are a big time saver but are usually used for straight cuts only, curves, Us and L cuts will still require a wet saw.

[@envisionelectronics]

I bought this and used it on a 2" hex porcelain. It cut so well and so fast - I could hardly believe it! Thank you for the impressive review. It is an extremely professional tool.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Its a great cutter, Quality makes all the difference.

[@sebastosca]

they the Ferraris of Tile cutter s . Sigma montolit Raimondi and my razor rtc . And the best cutter for glass Tile not mess edges

[@robrobitaille6303]

Great video Sal. Could I use the to cut mosaic tile for a shower floor, for example a hexagonal marble tile attached with Mesh

[@SalDiBlasi]

Yes, you can, they make a rubber mat that goes on the cutter for that specific reason. I would have included it in this video, but did not have any mosaic tile on hand to demonstrate. I will however be making a separate video in the near future, just for the mat. Here is a link www.montolit.com/rubber-pad-for-cutting-mosaic/

[@robrobitaille6303]

Sal DiBlasi ok great stuff! Theoretically I could do an entire bathroom without a wet saw?

[@SalDiBlasi]

I have actually done it more than once :-)

[@Jesusisthewayandtruth]

@@robrobitaille6303 you can... But always best to set up a wet saw still. There seem to always be cuts that are awkward and small enough to need a saw. For example even if you have the pad if you need to cut only 1/⁸ or 1/4 inch off any edge you need a saw.

[@juancarlosbonilla9633]

You now how mach this machine please? And where fining?

[@SalDiBlasi]

There is a link in the very first line of the description.

[@thomaskelly2572]

Sal over here in Europe we've tried all the various cutters from European tile tool companies and without any shadow of doubt sigma is by a large margin superior to anything else

[@SalDiBlasi]

+t anthony From what I hear , Montolit is prfered by many over Sigma. And I have a lot of feedback. Having never tried a Sigma l will have to wait and see to make my own judgment.

[@rockycon1967]

I have both Sigma and the Montolit. Both great cutters but the only thing about the Montolit I dont like is the extra motion to drop the breaker. Its a little complaint but when you have to make a bunch of repetitive cuts it sucks.

[@WmRios]

Rocky Constable , This answers a good question for me as well. Every second, every movement is going to affect bottom line. ( IMHO)

[@azul9522]

👍.

[@zimpler8340]

I just got the Monolit Minipiuma manual cutter, the small one 14”, but i think I’m going to return because honestly i think the $24 ANVIL from Homedepot cuts better.

[@fencerider1492]

Sal, do you ever use black grout in showers? And does black grout fade easily? I grouted some small pieces of mosaic tile and Im gonna keep soaking them with water to see how the black grout reacts to the hard water we have here. Doing this before I install my shower.

[@rockycon1967]

black never stays black in a shower floor, try to talk the customer out of it. Sadly the hardness of the waters today turns it medium gray

[@SalDiBlasi]

Try epoxy grout. it will never stain.

[@fencerider1492]

Sal DiBlasi Thx Sal, I will look into it.

[@fencerider1492]

Rocky Constable Thx for the advice Rocky, I am a DIY'R, Sal has walked me through my projects and helped me alot. I work full time in Law Enforcement, but wanna start tiling on the side. I already have some clients (friends) lined up to do their floors.

[@westside98]

Was that tile from Fitzgerald in Woburn, sticker looked familiar lol

[@SalDiBlasi]

Actually Smethurst in Malden, now Gallaria Stone and Tile

[@cliftonleung9267]

Hi Sal, great video. Can this cut grooved tiles also? Like the wavy tiles?

[@SalDiBlasi]

The scoring wheel is small so it will usually do a good job on tiles that are not flat.

[@DelAchamanChinet]

Hi. I have always used ruby ​​and sigma. My question is: It is possible to change the direction of cutting thrust. Bone, cut from the ruler outwards, similar to sigma. thank

[@SalDiBlasi]

No, this is a push cutter and not pull. the wheel is in a different position, also much easier to score on a push than on pull. Pull cutters are great for soft tile, push is better for harder tiles.

[@DelAchamanChinet]

Sal DiBlasi I get it. But I do not speak of push or pull. I speak of pushing from the ruler to the front. Similar to sigma max (3dm)

[@giuseppemaffei3727]

Ciao Achaman, by pushing from the ruler to the front you have a problem, you need to hold the tiles in place because there isn't a bar that is holding the tile and the tile slides sometime. For this reason the professional tile cutters you make the incision pushing the tile against the square and the square holds the tile in perfect place.

[@DelAchamanChinet]

I understand your comment, but that's not my question. My question is if turning the handle can be cut by pushing from the ruler forward or the opposite can not be by the design of the machine.

[@giuseppemaffei3727]

No you can't turn the handle because the design of the machine and the design of the machine is like that because the reason that I wrote above: (quote) :by pushing from the ruler to the front you have a problem, you need to hold the tiles in place because there isn't a bar that is holding the tile and the tile slides sometime. For this reason the professional tile cutters you make the incision pushing the tile against the square and the square holds the tile in perfect place.>>

[@fatboyfatboy8937]

This one???

[@bertwhite2381]

What percentage of your cuts do you use this vs wet saw?

[@SalDiBlasi]

All straight cuts on the snap cutter, anything else on the wet saw.

[@gjolinares23]

85%

[@kojomensah7474]

So how much dose this retail at in U.S pls?

[@SalDiBlasi]

[@gibranrodriguez5702]

Nice vídeo Sal how moch do u Pay for that baby??? Amasing cut tile

[@SalDiBlasi]

Here is a link to one on y Amazon store amzn.to/35zlOKJ

[@Louthemailman]

sigma is a top notch tile snap

[@SalDiBlasi]

Try a Montolit, you will see just how good it is, even better than Sigma.

[@Louthemailman]

ya?? i bought a sigma that cuts 4ft rips. but im gonna buy a smaller tile snap for subways and smaller tiles maybe ill try the montolite..thanks

[@WmRios]

Sal DiBlasi , This answers an important question for me... What wet saw do you recommend for LFT 48”x 24”? (High-rise building work.)

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

Do you remember Sal last fall i recommended this cutter over Rubi and you were little suspicious maybe because you didn't have own POV?

[@SalDiBlasi]

I can't recommend something that I have never tried, however I don't remember being suspicious. Now that I have one, and used it, I know it is a first class top notch machine.

И как он в работе?

[@Bigbenhandyman1984]

what's the weight on it?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Surprisingly light, but very sturdy.

[@Bigbenhandyman1984]

Sal DiBlasi that was my next question. I went to their website. It doesn't give you options to buy. Do you know the price? I am guessing around $500 or more.

[@SalDiBlasi]

They are surprisingly affordable, I am waiting for a link to include in my description.

[@Bigbenhandyman1984]

Sal DiBlasi thanks Sal.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Just added a link in the description.

[@matthewmcmillan7298]

Just bought this today. I threw the wick away. 😒😒
