In this video, you'll learn how to cut tile. More specifically, five common ways to cut tile using five different tools. List of materials: www.handymanstartup.com/how-t...
You'll learn how to cut ceramic tile, porcelain tile, marble tile, granite tile, glass mosaic tile, and other natural stone tiles.
Sometimes the key to doing a project well is simply having the right tools and using them at the right time. Here you'll unlock that critical knowledge so you can get started on your first tile project with confidence.
First, you'll learn how to cut ceramic tile using a manual tile cutter, which scores the tile and then snaps the tile. You'll see me cut both subway tile and larger ceramic tile. You'll also see me attempt to cut some porcelain tile and fail. And finally, you'll see how to cut mosaic tiles using a manual tile cutter.
Next, you'll learn about the wet table saw, which is very helpful when making a lot of straight, smooth cuts. A wet saw can be used for pretty much any type of tile other than glass tile which will shatter if you try to cut it and must be scored and snapped.
Then, I'll demonstrate the hand-held manual tile cutter, and I'll explain this tool is useless garbage.
Then I'll demonstrate a diamond hole saw cutting through both soft ceramic tile, and a thicker, harder tile made of porcelain. I'll also demonstrate how to make faster cuts and get the hole saw to last longer without burning out.
And finally, I'll demonstrate cutting tile with a 4-inch angle grinder with a diamond blade on it. You'll see why this method isn't the best for making clean straight cuts, but it does have its place when making complicated or curved cuts in tile.
By the end of this video, you'll go from complete tile beginner to having the knowledge to tile like a pro. You'll learn how to reduce dust when cutting tile, how to get the smoothest edge when cutting tile, and exactly which tools you need to get the job done.

I had all my tools stolen from a job where I was working. There was no time to get new tools, so I ended up tiling 3 large wet rooms using nothing but a teaspoon and a plastic butterknife. I wouldn't recommend anyone do this, I have many years of experience so I could do it. The job was immaculate by the way.

Thanks for the video. I have to say though, the angle grinder shots were very scary to watch! For those watching at home, use a clamp and never have your non-dominant hand anywhere in front of the blade.

Thanks Dan. Really helpful video. I just did a bathroom tile and when cutting my "PORCELAIN" tiles they would just crack. I heard about the scribe-then-just-snap method and thought a handheld scribe would do. Boy was I in for surprise. Every time they cracked with lines running all over. Well, after listening to you describe the first two methods, I realized that I should've went with a water saw to make my cuts. And it makes sense, harder tile needs more power and precision to make needed cuts for your project. So next time I will be using a water tile cutter to make my cuts for the harder tiles, and now because I tuned in to your common sense video, to me, I will use the handheld for those ceramic tile back splash jobs. Thanks a million Dan, keep up the great info.

First time "tiler". Thank you for demonstrating how to cut tiles. I just finished re tiling with subway tiles around electrical sockets which the tiler sneekily hid with grout. I used a manual tile cutter and an angle grinder with a diamond blade disc to finish the job and it looks amazing. If I were younger I would probably learn the trade instead of doing a boring office job.

What you missed are nippers. Nippers allow you to nip clean pieces off to form arcs. Or just edges to fit. Nippers are common to tile mosaic or stained glass work. I'm pretty sure you can use nippers to cut tile indentations for around electrical boxes. I think you can drill corner holes with a ceramic drill bit and nip away the tile between the holes.

Just a quick constructive comment on safety. The way you were using the grinder and the wet cutting table was not the safest way, your fingers where too close to the blades. So everyone who's not familiar how operate these type of tools, should be careful and always read the safety manual before usage. But nice video and information, cheers!

The tool handling snippets from this video should seriously be used in safety measure videos. The fact that this video is aimed towards newbies really pisses me off.

@stevengalanis4030
@stevengalanis4030 4 года назад
I notice that the mechanical tile cutter you are using in this video allows you to cut the tile using the base of the cutter for support; I've got one that requires lifting the scored tile and centering it under the bars, one edge of the tile resting on a small raised pad behind the scoring the wheel. Pushing down on the lever pushes the tile against the bars until it snaps along the scored edge. For thin ceramic wall tile (3/16) ,my tile cutter works except for cuts close to the edge since there's not enough tile passing underneath the outside bar; It would seem that the tile cutter in your video would make these "close to the edge" cuts possible. Am I right in my thinking, or am i looking at one of the other methods ( tile nips, rotary grinder) for trimming tile?

@beachwalker2245 2 года назад
thank you for showing me that the tile I cut yesterday looked just like your examples-I thought I was doing something wrong with my handheld grinder on cheap ceramic (first try didn’t want to spend much money) and, that I need to be less timid about actually breaking the tiles after scoring my tiles (multiple times ha ha) -I have been moving the handle down to the middle of the tile to break it and having all kinds of problems with the tile breaking in the wrong place- I think I just need to be more sure of myself and try to break it with the handle at the top of the slider or like you show in the video-I hope this made sense but your visuals are great!
@kraven4444
@kraven4444 2 года назад
Some manual tile cutters only have a Raised metal piece under the tile at the top where you finish scoring. Which assists the break itself. Either way snap from the top. Also make sure after you score it that you don't move the tile during or after the score, until you snap it. Once you're ready to snap you can even give it light pressure with one hand and give your hand a Slight tap with the other. Making the snap more sudden.
