Common Questions
Which Masterpiuma P5 size should I get? — Match the cutter to your largest common tile size. The 75cm covers most standard tiles. For 600x600mm+ porcelain, go 93cm. Only step up to 131cm or 161cm if you regularly cut large-format panels.
What is the Mosakit Pad and do I need one? — It is a rubber mat that sits on your manual tile cutter and lets you score and snap paper or mesh-backed mosaic sheets cleanly. If you do any mosaic work, it saves time and breakage.
How often should I replace the scoring wheel? — When cuts start chipping or you need more pressure than usual, the wheel is worn. The 245T is a direct replacement for all Masterpiuma cutters.
Can the Flash Line 3 cut porcelain slabs? — Yes, it is specifically designed for large porcelain panels up to 340cm long and 4cm thick.
