Tips for Cutting Tiles

Roger Morph September 23, 2022 3 min read

When cutting tiles, it is important to use the right type of blade for the material you are working with. For example, if you are cutting porcelain tile, you will need to use a diamond blade. If you are working with ceramic tile, you can use a carbide-tipped blade.

There are a few different ways to cut tiles, depending on the size and shape of the tile you are working with. For small tiles, you can use a handheld tile cutter. For larger tiles, you will need to use a wet saw. When cutting tiles, it is important to make sure that the cuts are straight and clean. If the cuts are not straight, the tile will not fit properly when it is installed. If you are working with a wet saw, be sure to wear safety goggles and gloves to protect yourself from the water and debris.

How to cut tile without a wet saw

If you need to cut tiles without a wet saw, you can use a handheld tile cutter or a manual tile cutter. To use a handheld tile cutter, simply score the tile with the cutter and then snap it along the score line. To use a manual tile cutter, mark the tile where you need to make the cut and then clamp the tile cutter onto the tile. Next, use the handle to push the blade through the tile. When cutting tiles without a wet saw, it is important to make sure that the cuts are straight and clean. If the cuts are not straight, the tile will not fit properly when it is installed.
