Hand Held Tile Cutter
 
Not sure why, but I'm kind of sold on the old score and snap wheel type hand
held tile cutters.
Have been using a "Jobo" type which has 6 small wheels on a rotating
selectable clamp nut.
Bad news - I'm nearing the end of bathroom tiling and all the wheels are
blunt.
I've tried the plastic type incorporating the Vee shape snappy clamp
arrangement, but the cutter wheels are not held sturdily and the cut line
wanders.
Does anyone know of a suitable wheel based tool, other than the track guided
versions which seem to be everywhere?

TIA

Phil

You're quite, quite, mad!

Have you not experienced the satisfaction of snapping a tile with a single
movement of the slider and push down, of a decent metal railed Plasplugs
Contractor? Sublime.

Better than the good old broken hack-saw blade? I use a proper tungsten
carbide tip, set in a plastic handle. (Sharpenable.)
