The cutting wheel is made of tungsten carbide with a titanium coating for enhanced durability and longevity.
This is a 7/8" diameter cutting wheel.
This wheel is best used with ceramic tiles.
Yes, it includes the bolt and locknut for installation.
Replacement frequency depends on usage. Replace the wheel when you notice inconsistent scoring or difficulty in achieving a clean break.
While it is optimized for ceramic tiles, it may perform on some porcelain tiles, but results can vary. For extensive porcelain work, a wheel specifically designed for harder materials might be more suitable.
The cutting wheel weighs approximately 0.05 pounds.
Ensure the wheel is securely fastened but not overtightened. Check if the wheel itself is damaged or excessively worn. Verify that you are using the wheel with ceramic tiles as recommended.
A clean score line is essential. Ensure you are applying firm, consistent pressure when scoring. Check that the tile is properly positioned on the cutter and that the breaker mechanism is functioning correctly. The wheel itself might be dull and require replacement.
Tighten the bolt and locknut securing the wheel. Ensure all components are correctly aligned on the spindle.
Setup: To install the QEP replacement cutting wheel, ensure your tile cutter is unplugged or has its power source disconnected. Loosen the existing bolt and remove the old cutting wheel. Place the new 7/8" titanium coated wheel onto the cutter's spindle, ensuring it sits flush. Secure it with the provided bolt and locknut. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the wheel or the cutter mechanism.
Compatibility: This 7/8" cutting wheel is designed to fit most standard QEP tile cutters and many other brands with a similar spindle size. Always check your tile cutter's manual for specific replacement wheel specifications.
Care: Keep the cutting wheel clean by wiping it with a dry cloth after each use. Avoid exposing the wheel to excessive moisture. Periodically check the wheel for any signs of damage or excessive wear. If the scoring line becomes inconsistent, it is time to replace the wheel.
