Great video Shannon. Thanks for explaining the part about moving the foot right to the top. I was smashing the tiles and I think its because I had the wheel in the mix.

Do you find the bigger scoring wheel works better then the small 1/2 inch ones when it comes to cutting 3/8 large format floor tile?

@HouseImprovements 2 жыл бұрын

I prefer the larger wheel yes

@abbyarnold4477 2 жыл бұрын

Can i sharpen the wheel on a manual tile cutter ? An answer is very much appreciated .

not that i know of. They are cheap just purchase one and keep another on hand if you want.

Hi! I am a big fan of your tutorials! I am planning to make the baseboard with cut pieces of 10 mm thick porcelain tiles (very same as the floor). my question: can I get a perfect cut with a tool like this or do I need to buy an electronic saw instead? thanks

@HouseImprovements 7 жыл бұрын

for straight cuts this will work fine pretty much 99% of the time. Unless you are going to spend 1000+$ on a good wet saw

I bought one of these and no matter how hard I press or how many times I score it, when I go to break it, it breaks wherever it pleases.. what gives?

@jimwolfgang9433 3 жыл бұрын

Maybe it's because my tile cutter is old, but often scoring more than once can leave not the cleanest of cuts. Hence, I never find the need to score more than once

Can a square shape be cut out of the edge of the tile with this tool? All lines would be straight, but without extending to the other edge of the tile.

@HouseImprovements 7 жыл бұрын

@TheBanjoShowOfficial 2 жыл бұрын

Unless you managed to score the square on both sides and then applied pressure to only that square, I don't see how else it would be done with this.

I have to shave about 1/2 off tile. I have tried 3 times and tile keeps breaking. Is there a minimum you have to take off to use cutter and snapping??

@HouseImprovements 2 жыл бұрын

1/2" can be tricky with a snap cutter. Try a wet saw or a grinder with a masonry blade.

Does it work for vetrified tiles as well

Thanks for the video. In your opinion, would the score and snap work well for cutting some 1 sq ft tiles at a 90 degree angle (into triangles basically)? I’m not sure if positioning them “not straight” would be an issue. Hoping my message reaches you, thanks in advance!

@HouseImprovements 3 жыл бұрын

this will work for that

@junangeles 3 жыл бұрын

How deep must the scoring be so I’ll have a clean straight cut?

@HouseImprovements 3 жыл бұрын

Not sure that it is really measurable . In most cases 2-3 passes across the tile will produce a clean cut.

Turn the handle counter clock wise on most snap cutters to loosen the cutting wheel shaft and lower it.
