I bought the Tommy Walsh B and Q version a few years back and that motor's okay.

On a wet cutter it's mostly down to the cutting wheel. Get cheap, but great quality from here. Porcelain Continuous Rim Diamond Blade | ATS Diamond Tools
the cheap cutters do suffer from poor bearings. Thus makes the disc wobble, therefore, it might chip the tile or wander off line. This a good quality one.

if you want a good porcelain manual tile cutter . Sigma are the best. They hold their money second hand too.Sigma 2D4 61cm Tile Cutter | eBay not cheap but has the breaking force to cope with and hard tile.

I've found that using the wet cutter even with a new wheel running true when I get to the end of a cut, and it's not with every cut, perhaps one in six or so the tile just doesn't cut clean and the corner comes away, just a little, but annoying al the same.

If you cut in 10mm from the opposite side first, then cut to if, this tends to stop it.
i have a beast of a wet tile saw and have to do that to prevent chip out.

I bought a cheap wet tile cutter, its taken some stick and still does a great job. Doing less tiling now so it will do for me. Think it was from toolstation.

That’s where you have to cut dead slowly.
RUBI is the business.
