Cutting Tile
Always wear protective eyewear when cutting tile! Before cutting tile, all cut lines should be marked with a pencil.

Use a tile cutter for all straight cuts. It scores the tile and then snaps it along that score.

To cut away small sections of tile, use tile nippers which take small "bites" out of tile.

For more complex curves or edges, use a rod saw which can make more accurate and smooth cuts.

After making any tile cut, smooth the edges with sandpaper or a tile sander.

If you need to drill a hole in tile, use a masonry bit in an electric drill. If the hole needs to be enlarged, use a rod saw blade detached from the handle.
