Introducing the New Montolit Masterpiuma P5 ITALICA Range

17/06/2026

The Evolution of a Tile Cutting Icon Has Arrived

For decades, the Montolit Masterpiuma has been one of the most trusted manual tile cutters on professional job sites around the world. Known for its precision, reliability and innovative design, the Masterpiuma has earned a reputation as a benchmark for professional tile cutters.

Now, to celebrate 80 years of Italian manufacturing excellence, Montolit has unveiled the next generation in the Montolit tile cutter range: the all-new Masterpiuma P5 ITALICA.

The new P5 ITALICA builds upon everything installers loved about the Montolit Power 5 series while introducing significant upgrades designed for today's large-format porcelain tiles and increasingly demanding installation projects.


A New Look Inspired by Italian Heritage

The first thing you'll notice about the new ITALICA range is its striking appearance.

Finished in Montolit's new Technology Blue and Passion Red colour scheme, the P5 ITALICA proudly showcases the brand's Italian heritage while representing the innovation that has kept Montolit at the forefront of tile cutting technology for eight decades.

But this isn't simply a cosmetic refresh. Underneath the new colours lies a completely redesigned machine.

Shop all three Masterpiuma ranges:

Stronger, Lighter and More Stable

One of the biggest advancements in the ITALICA range is the new monolithic base construction.

Manufactured from a single mould, the redesigned chassis delivers:

  • Increased structural rigidity

  • Improved cutting stability

  • Reduced flex during scoring and snapping

  • Approximately 2kg less weight compared to previous models

The result is a cutter that feels more solid during operation while remaining easier to transport around site.

For professional tilers moving between projects, this combination of strength and portability makes a noticeable difference throughout the working day.

New Sizes for Modern Tile Formats

As tile sizes continue to grow, Montolit has adapted the Masterpiuma range to suit.

The new ITALICA lineup introduces updated cutting lengths, including:

The new 81cm and 101cm models replace previous sizes, providing greater versatility for today's popular large-format tiles. The 101cm model also benefits from integrated transport wheels, making movement around site quicker and easier.

Greater Precision Where It Matters

Professional installers know that the smallest details often make the biggest difference.

The Masterpiuma P5 ITALICA introduces several refinements designed to improve cutting accuracy and consistency:

New Front Support System

A redesigned front stop provides improved support for repetitive cuts, helping maintain accuracy when working through large quantities of tiles.

Integrated Counter-Square

Available on the larger 131cm and 161cm models, the integrated counter-square provides enhanced control over cutting lengths at both ends of the tile, helping installers achieve repeatable, accurate results.

Integrated ATLAS Support System

Large-format tiles require additional support during both scoring and breaking.

That's why Montolit has integrated the acclaimed ATLAS support system directly into the structure of the 131cm and 161cm ITALICA models.

When folded into position, the ATLAS supports assist with the breaking process. When extended, they provide external slab support, improving stability and safety when handling larger porcelain panels.

The integrated design means the system is always ready to use whenever it's needed.

The Most Advanced Masterpiuma Handle Yet

At the heart of every Masterpiuma is the scoring assembly, and the ITALICA introduces Montolit's most advanced design to date.

Key upgrades include:

  • Five ball bearings for smoother movement

  • Three-axis bearing adjustment

  • Improved ergonomics

  • Enhanced control during scoring and breaking

  • Better adaptation to varying tile thicknesses

The redesigned handle delivers a smoother cutting experience while maintaining the exceptional breaking power professionals expect from a Masterpiuma.

New 18mm Titanium Scoring Wheel

Montolit has also upgraded the scoring wheel from 14mm to an 18mm titanium wheel featuring an integrated bearing.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced friction

  • Smoother scoring action

  • Improved performance on hard porcelain

  • Enhanced durability

  • Greater scoring accuracy

Whether you're cutting delicate ceramics or dense porcelain, the new wheel is designed to maximise cutting performance.

Built-In Laser Guidance on Larger Models

For installers working with large-format materials, visibility is critical.

The 131cm and 161cm ITALICA models now include a removable laser guide as standard.

Features include:

  • USB-C rechargeable battery

  • Tool-free installation

  • Full-length travel along the cutter

  • Improved alignment on large-format tiles

  • Auto shut-off function to preserve battery life

This innovative addition helps achieve even greater accuracy when tackling longer cuts and larger formats.
