Price Comparison

Each of the Raimonid Raizor Tile Cutters has different price points. The Raimondi Raizor MKII is lighter weight, making it a more affordable option than the original Raimondi Raizor Large Format Tile Cutter due to it being slightly less robust.

Choosing between the Raimondi Raizor and the Raimondi Raizor MKII?

There are different features and selling points to each of these products and a lot of the decision comes down to personal taste, budget and preferred way of working. The Raimondi Raizor MKII is a lighter and less robust version of the Raizor which is reflected in its price point. The MKII incision group performs cuts with precise and smooth results, and it is positioned at a high standard in the market. The Raizor incision group is very firm and precise while cutting, the incision group runs over two sides of the cutting guide and is recognised as the most technical and developed system for cutting. Both of these large format tile cutters satisfy any 90-degree cuts on slabs and tiles with a maximum thickness of 10/12mm. Tilers sometimes prefer a lighter product like the MKII. On the other hand, many professional tilers prefer a more robust tool to deal with prolonged use and travel.
