Montolit Masterpiuma P5 Italica Manual Tile Cutters — 63P5IT to 161P5IT
Shop the Montolit Masterpiuma P5 Italica push-style manual tile cutter in five model-specific cutting lengths: 63P5IT, 81P5IT, 101P5IT, 131P5IT and 161P5IT. Designed for professional ceramic and porcelain tile installation, the Italica brings a redesigned scoring carriage and monolithic base to the Masterpiuma lineup. Built in Italy, it combines a rigid, single-piece aluminum base with a redesigned scoring and breaking assembly for dependable control on demanding jobsite materials.

- Adjustable 3-axis bearings: Redesigned carriage adapts to scoring and breaking movements and varying tile thicknesses.
- Controlled breaking: Ergonomic handle and force indicators help the installer modulate pressure.
- Accurate angle work: Adjustable square with permanent, laser-etched angle markings up to ±45°.

Choosing Your Italica Cutter
For compact and medium-format work, the 63P5IT and 81P5IT offer shorter, easier-to-handle platforms. The 101P5IT adds greater cutting length and rear wheels. For 51.5-inch and 63.5-inch cutting capacity, the 131P5IT and 161P5IT add the integrated ATLAS slab support system, Baseboard counter-square and movable laser alignment guide.
Replacement scoring wheel: Montolit part 248T, an 18 mm titanium-coated wheel with an integrated bearing. Do not substitute an older Masterpiuma P5 scoring wheel without verifying compatibility.
Masterpiuma Italica vs. Standard Masterpiuma P5
The P5 Italica is a distinct new-generation model family, not a replacement-parts listing or a different size of the standard P5. Its revised monolithic base, 18 mm titanium-coated scoring wheel with integrated bearing, and model-specific 131/161 laser and ATLAS equipment distinguish it from earlier models. Looking for the existing P5 series instead? Shop standard Montolit Masterpiuma P5 tile cutters.
