Snapped the corner off in first tile :D. But regarding the cutter. Can you get nice straight edge from it? (similar to new tile edge) Or you taking new tile for every piece you need?
Hi Mike - thanks for your comment. When cutting large format tiles with a tile cutter as demonstrated, the resulting edge should be fairly straight (i.e. straight enough to be unnoticeable) but not 100% straight as they are when they leave the factory. This is because during production tile manufacturers use precision cutting equipment to create what are called rectified edges on some tiles. Not all tiles have rectified edges however. Hope this answers your question. Tile Mountain
Hi Beech1900pilot - thanks for your comment. You could use a wet wheel cutter on any tile technically, however with larger tiles you may not be able to get the stability you need to achieve an accurate cut. Hope this helps. Tile Mountain
Hi Craig, can you cut 60 x 30 porcelain tiles in half and use those halves in addition to the larger whole tile to create a modular look? I have slate look porcelain tiles
While this may be possible, you would need to consider that, when doing this, you would have some tiles that have 3 finished edges and one unfinished edge where it has been cut, this may not look especially clean if there are uneven edges throughout the floor. Tile Mountain
Hi Ginger - thanks for your comment. For cutting out specific shapes from large format tiles, we would recommend a water jet cutter or an angle grinder. The latter method can be done yourself if you feel confident enough (although it does take a bit of perseverance). The former would involve finding a specialist company that offers this service as it requires specialist equipment. Hope this helps! Tile Mountain

Can someone recommend me a quality tile cutter that can cut 600x600 8mm thick porcelain tile, also something that won't break the bank. I'm really struggling on finding a good one there's split opinions everywhere
The 600mm Manual Tile Cutter on our website would do this for you. However, if you are looking to spend as little as possible, if it is just the one project you are undertaking, it may be worth looking into hiring a cutter for a day instead of buying one. Tile Mountain.
Watched this concise video once and quickly tiled my entrance way. Thanks!

Thank you so much. I have been breaking the odd tile and I think I can see why.

When using a tile cutter do not press down hard when scoring the lighter you press tge cleaner the cut will be as long as it is continuously cut

On your first cut you chipped off a corner... and then you ignore it, as if it didn't happen... sneaky ;)
