Heavy Duty Porcelain Nippers - TilersForums.com

Can anyone recommend a decent pair of nippers. I've got about 70 metres of curved cutting to do in a 6oox6oomm Porcelain and i've already gone through a pair from topps tiles .
Grinding is not an option cos the tiles chip easy. The tiling buts up to vinyl with a formable edge metal trim and is all exposed, so it needs to be neat.

i know rubi do a pair with replaceable wheels. There are other makes out there that do replaceable wheels. My marcrist ck850 blade rarely chips a tile as long as i get the cut right first time and dont use the side of it to trim.
Ive never used one but i bet those makita wet grinders would be good for getting your curve while keeping it chip free...just a thought

hji have you looked at the marcrist cc750 curved angle grinder blade?
i know you dont want to grind them but i would imagine this blade may help

For that much work I would go with Kilty and look at getting a curved disc.

I have a pair of the heavy duty porcelain nippers with the wheels. They are not bad, not as neat as square nosed nippers and they dont last any longer to be honest, give them a go but I should think youd be better listening to Kilty.
