Cutting ceramic tile with a tile saw

摘要

If you're laying a significant amount of tile, a tile saw is an essential tool. Pros need their own, but if you lay tile only occasionally, you can find tile saws at rental yards. An alternative is to buy a tile score-and-snap cutter, which uses a carbide tooth to score the face of the tile. Once scored, tile is snapped along the line by pushing down on the handle. Scoring and snapping isn't as clean as cutting with a saw, though, and it doesn't allow you to make notching cuts as shown here.
