How to Cut Tiles with the Makita CC301DWAE

It’s important to cut tiles to size so they can fit around things like toilet seats and sinks. Most of the time, a diamond blade is best for cutting tiles because it is better at cutting hard and rough materials. As part of the package, the CC301 comes with a diamond blade. Angle grinders, wet tile saws, tile cutters, and other tools can be used to cut tiles. The Makita CC301DWAE Tile Cutter is the main topic of this guide.

First, here are a few details about the Makita CC301DWAE:

The CC301 tile cutter has a high speed of 1500 RPM, weighs only 1.8kg, has a large water tank with a large cap that makes it easy to open and replace, and runs on Makita’s well-known 10.8 V CXT batteries.

  • Blade diameter: 85 mm
  • Bore diameter: 15 mm

  • Capacity at 45°: 16.5 mm
  • RMP: 1,600rpm

How to Use a Tile Cutter

How do you use a tile cutter? Follow these easy steps to get the best and most accurate results:

Get Prepared: We say this a lot, but it’s worth saying again: before you cut any tile or glass, make sure your tile cutter has the right blade for the job and that you have the right PPE, like gloves, safety glasses, kneepads, and earphones. It’s always important to make sure your cutter works as well as possible and, most importantly, that you stay safe. Once you and your cutter are ready, it’s time to mark where your cuts will go.

Measure and mark: Mark the tile with a pencil where it needs to be cut. This will make it easy for your cutter to know what to do.

Fill ‘Er Up: The CC301DWAE comes with a water tank that can hold up to 500 ml. This is important because you need to cool and lubricate the blade as you cut the tile or glass to keep it from breaking or chipping. So, you need to remember to turn on the water before you start cutting and turn it off when you’re done.

Now time for the messy part: Since the water flows from the tank onto the blade, you don’t have to worry about the CC301DWAE getting slippery in your hand. Makita has given it a rubberized curved soft grip with “non-slip elastomer” that will help you hold on to it even when it’s wet.

Get the depth right: You don’t have to cut the tile or glass all the way through. You only need to cut far enough to break the workpiece softly. This is the same idea as when you use a standard tile cutter, which just scores the surface of glazed tiles.
