Abstract
A tile cutter includes a base having a support surface upon which tiles to be cut may be supported, a pair of guide rails mounted upon the base, the guide rails being parallel to one another and being spaced from the support surface to enable a tile to be located between the guide rails and the support surface. A cutter assembly is provided, mounted on a carriage, which, in turn, is movably mounted on the pair of rails so as to guide the cutter assembly along a rectilinear path across the support surface. The carriage includes a first rotary bearing assembly in rotary contact with one rail and a second rotary bearing assembly in rotary contact with the other rail. Each rotary bearing assembly includes at least one bearing in the form of a roller having a shaft on which is mounted at least one wheel which projects radially beyond said shaft and is axially fixed relation to the shaft, the wheel having an axial face, a circumferential face and a transition face extending between the axial and circumferential faces, the transition face being in rotary contact with the rail.
