Brilliant video, thank you! I'm just in the process of tiling my kitchen and don't have (or want to use) an electrical tile cutter, but the sockets need going round! Just ordered some tile snippers to try 🤞
I get it.,.just a teensy wincy little bit at a time. Awesome demonstration of cutting a tile, freehand. Thanks for sharing this with us here on RU-vid.👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome tutorial video! This vid really helped me with my tiny kitchen tiling project. I have no problem putting on whole 12x12 tiles but corners really gives me trouble as it needs special cutting. I'm so not good with big heavy cutters. I'm just plainly scared to use them. But thanks to this video I completed my project 😁
Wow. Thank you so much! I'm doing my second ever small bathroom backsplash and I have to work my way around an outlet so I'll need to be notching. I was trying to figure out the most budget friendly way to get around this and it looks like a scribe and some nippers... And this awesome video! Thank you.
Just cut a tile in half and another one at 90° thanks to this video. Thumbs up! If you don't have the tools he's using to cut the tiles, just use pincers as I did, they work just the same.
The point and the title of the video is how to cut tile WITHOUT POWER TOOLS. anyone can use a grinder if they have one and have power. Thanks for the video.
I mean if you're good with this style and have a long walk to your saw or maybe cleanup is an issue then yeah I want to do this. Now I need a video on how to convince everyone else to let me do this! hahaha
thanks, very good instructions, needed to cut 4 tiles like these but didnt wanted to buy tile saw specially for that, will try this way! Thanks Sir :) You are a good teacher"
A friend of mine gave me a bunch of small countertop samples a while ago and i was wondering if maybe these tools would be able to cut them? Some seem to be made of plastic while others in other materials (I'm not sure what they are i know nothing about countertops lol). They seem too thick for these tools but i was wondering if anyone would know if they could work? I just want to use them for small art projects like maybe for jewelry or other stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated because I've been trying to search for weeks😭 (keep in mind i don't have a lot of money so anything done by hand like this would probably be best/within my budget. Though i have other power tools like a dremel, electric drills, saws, electric screwdriver, etc etc so maybe those could work too? But idk)
That is the slowest way ever, epic fail, try doing that when you need to take a square out the centre of the tile lol, that way is only good when your not in a rush.
I had to cut a circle in the middle of a tile at trade school about 25yrs ago, using hand tools, not that difficult to do, slow and steady is the key, used a block hammer to sit the tile on, then used a combing hammer to gently chip away a hole in the middle, once the hole is big enough you use a parrot nipper to finish the rest, takes time but satisfying when you get it perfectly done :)
