Thank you

I've learned so much from you over the last few years. Thank you so very much.

Are you serious? That simple? Wish I had watched your video 10 years ago. Oh my God!! I kept on returning to Home Depot 3x, these people looked at me like I was an idiot!! Thank you so much. Love it man.

Probably the best video on this subject. Thank You Sir !

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.

Best Manual Cutter Demo... Thanks Shannon ~

Love your videos, so glad I found this one. Keep it up, thank you !

My 1st tile cutting up next, glad I saw this tutorial

Thanks Shannon always full of great info

Great video, as always, thank you very much!

Just finished an 8'×5' wall of 12×12 mosaic backsplash and having the wet saw is needed! Especially for the small 1/2"- 1/4" pieces

Thanks Shannon!

Another great video. Thanks!

Thanks Shannon, glass tiles are a challenge to avoid shatters.

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

I think in the video you were cutting ceramic. Does it make a difference if you were using this for porcelain tile too?

What do you recommend for cutting marble.

Do you oil the wheel? How is it for cutting corner to corner? Diagonal. My wet cutting machine always chips the edges a bit

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?

I pulled up my tile and there cincrete broke out in chunks .what do I do next to replace

Thank you! Love your accent!!! (Minnesota?)

They need to make a dado set for those things

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

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

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

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!

this will work for that

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.

No

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??

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

Mine keeps chipping idk what to do

Does it work for vetrified tiles as well

I would think so but I have never used them. Check with the manufacture of sales person

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

@HouseImprovements

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

@@HouseImprovements thanks. I will try it out and hopefully get the hang of it.

The wheel doesn’t touch the tile. How do I adjust it downward?

@HouseImprovements

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

Would this tool work on vinyl flooring?

No ,usually these will not cut that small amount off . A wet saw is better for that cut.

yikes! Never make more than one pass. It destroys the cutting wheel.
