Abstract
A tile cutter includes a cutting wheel, a motor which drives the wheel in use, and a main housing body and a worktop mounted on the main housing body to define a cutting surface upon which tiles may be supported when being cut. The main housing body includes a first compartment for housing the motor and a second compartment for housing the cutting wheel. The second compartment defines an open topped water compartment. The worktop has a main body fixedly secured to the main housing body and has an access opening closed by a movable access lid overlying the second compartment to close the open top of the water compartment. The access lid provides access to the water compartment. The worktop further includes one or more open topped drainage channels communicating with the cutting surface and the water compartment to permit, in use, water to drain from the cutting surface to the water compartment.
