For clean lines, tracing a round object like a cup or bowl is helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 2: POSITION THE TILE ON THE MANUAL CUTTER<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The tile should be placed with its visible side up on the manual cutter, and&nbsp;<strong>it should be placed far enough from the ends of the manual cutter to rotate it<\/strong>&nbsp;as much as will be necessary to execute the cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 3: SCORE<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cut-Curves-5-S-1024x688.jpg\" alt=\"how to cut curves in tile\" class=\"wp-image-58551\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cut-Curves-5-S-1024x688.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cut-Curves-5-S-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cut-Curves-5-S-768x516.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Cut-Curves-5-S.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The scoring wheel on a manual tile cutter only moves in one straight line. As you score for a curved cut, you will need to rotate the tile so that, as you push the handle of the manual cutter forward, the scoring wheel scrapes along the line that you marked in step 2, creating the curve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 4: BREAK<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Move the tile to the end of the cutter<\/strong>&nbsp;where the separator works strongest&nbsp;<strong>and position the tile<\/strong>&nbsp;so that the end of the scored line is centred beneath the breaker. Then&nbsp;<strong>press down<\/strong>&nbsp;over the score with the breaker until the tile separates along the line you marked. You might need to do this at both ends to ensure a clean break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 5: SMOOTH<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The edges of the tile after they\u2019ve been cut with a manual tile cutter are very sharp.&nbsp;<strong>You need to smooth them down once you\u2019ve finished your curved cut.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to&nbsp;<strong>see how the curved cut matches up to its intended shape<\/strong>, like the edge of the toilet or shower drain, before you smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-396ab79e-4d33-4d59-8a28-356574160c89\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-396ab79e-4d33-4d59-8a28-356574160c89\" id=\"hs-cta-396ab79e-4d33-4d59-8a28-356574160c89\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6786297\/396ab79e-4d33-4d59-8a28-356574160c89\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-396ab79e-4d33-4d59-8a28-356574160c89\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6786297\/396ab79e-4d33-4d59-8a28-356574160c89.png\"  alt=\"New call-to-action\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(6786297, '396ab79e-4d33-4d59-8a28-356574160c89', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TILE NIPPER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Remember that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/categories\/pliers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tile nipper<\/a> is a handheld tool.<\/strong>&nbsp;Be sure to use it with caution and precision. Even though it\u2019s a smaller tool, it\u2019s still smart to read the user\u2019s manual before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 1: MEASURE AND MARK<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As we did with the manual tile cutter, prepare the area on the tile where the cut needs to be made. Making sure to take accurate measurements and use a template of the curve you want to cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 2: POSITION THE TILE NIPPER<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to&nbsp;<strong>make sure that you\u2019ve got a firm grip on the tile nipper.<\/strong>&nbsp;Also, properly position it on your measured mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 3: SNAP<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll make small,&nbsp;<strong>firm snaps along your measured mark.<\/strong>&nbsp;Do this slowly and carefully;&nbsp;<strong>there\u2019s no need to rush.<\/strong>&nbsp;Remember, this tool is for smaller, more precise curved cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go too fast,&nbsp;<strong>you risk breaking the tile beyond the mark you\u2019ve made.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you do this, you\u2019ll end up having to start over which wastes time and resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">STEP 4: SMOOTH<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The edges of the tile after they\u2019ve been cut with a tile nipper are very sharp.&nbsp;<strong>You need to smooth them down once you\u2019ve finished your curved cut.<\/strong>&nbsp; It\u2019s a good idea to see how the curved cut matches up to its intended shape, like the edge of the toilet or shower drain, before you smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ANGLE GRINDER<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An angle grinder is larger than a tile nipper, but smaller than a manual tile cutter<strong>.
