Tile cutters are designed to make straight tile cuts. Much like a glasscutter, the tile is scored with a cutting wheel and then snapped. It is used for cutting ceramic and porcelain tile. The quickest way is by using a hand tile cutter. To cut or break tile, simply put the tile on the padded bed, against the stopping frame. Press the handle down firmly, and roll the cutting wheel along the tile, to score the glaze. With the wheel now resting in the bed, press down on the handle, so the T-shape breaker-bar can pass down the tile to break along the score line, into two pieces.
