Best way to manually cut corners from floor tiles? - TilersForums.com

[jimmythegreat]

Hi all,

Looking for some advice. I have some floor tiles I got from wickes which are thick ceramic. I also have a MAC Allister manual tile cutter which seems to have a decent enough blade on it.

I can't for the life of me cut a corner piece out of these tiles without breaking the tile.

I am scoring the corner and using the pressure piece on the cutter to split the tile, but it is just cracking along the whole length of the tile and breaking it.

Anybody got any tips? I only have a couple of corner pieces to do but they are proving to be very tricky!

Thanks

You will need to use an angle grinder with a tile blade or some tile nippers

Thanks, I went for the tile nippers and they seem to work well!
