It&#8217;s a necessary part of the tile installation process, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be intimidating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re updating your kitchen backsplash, installing a new bathroom floor or kitchen floor, or tiling the bathroom or shower walls, cutting tile with the proper equipment will ensure your project looks great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your particular project and types of tile will determine what equipment will help you get the job done, and <strong>there are<\/strong> <strong>different situations where certain tools will be better for you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When You Should Use a Wet Saw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A wet saw is more heavy-duty and a bigger investment than a manual cutter,<\/strong> so it&#8217;s best suited to professionals or anyone who prefers to tackle all their own projects, no matter how big.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s cutting through <strong>thicker, harder material or cutting rounded shapes and curved lines,<\/strong> a wet saw means business. <strong>If you&#8217;re using stone or thick ceramic tiles, you&#8217;ll definitely need to go with a wet saw<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, all that functionality does have its drawbacks. <strong>A wet saw will be bigger and needs electricity,<\/strong> so the required setup of your workspace is more involved and will take more time.&nbsp;<strong>Some models don&#8217;t include reservoirs<\/strong> and need to be hooked up to a water source,&nbsp;which is less convenient and requires more setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You may find that you have to use the wet saw outside because of the water,<\/strong> bringing each piece you need to cut out and back into the work site as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"667\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cortadores-electricos-11.jpg\" alt=\"how to cut tile without a wet saw\" class=\"wp-image-42633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cortadores-electricos-11.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/cortadores-electricos-11-300x216.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does&nbsp;a Wet Saw Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A wet saw is similar to a table saw, with a <strong>spinning diamond blade<\/strong> that slices through the tile. In addition, it will spray or trickle water over the area you&#8217;re cutting. This is intended to keep the dust down and also keep your saw and material from overheating as you cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet saws have a straight guide to keep your cuts perfectly even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When You Can Use a Manual Cutter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual cutters are great for a different set of project requirements, and<strong> if you DIY frequently or do this work professionally, it&#8217;s perfectly reasonable to have both.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/17909-cortadora-manual-tx-710-max-2-d-rubi-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"how to cut tile without a wet saw\" class=\"wp-image-41948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/17909-cortadora-manual-tx-710-max-2-d-rubi-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/17909-cortadora-manual-tx-710-max-2-d-rubi-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/17909-cortadora-manual-tx-710-max-2-d-rubi-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/17909-cortadora-manual-tx-710-max-2-d-rubi-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/17909-cortadora-manual-tx-710-max-2-d-rubi-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For DIY Projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you like to do-it-yourself and you&#8217;re just starting to learn about tiling, <strong>a manual cutter is probably the best place for you to start.<\/strong> It&#8217;s a much<strong> smaller investment<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s perfect for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you&#8217;re most likely starting out with smaller projects as well, a manual cutter will be plenty for you and is much more economical than splurging on more equipment than you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;ll take you a little bit longer to get&nbsp;each piece of a tile lined up once you&#8217;re ready to start cutting, but it&#8217;s the perfect way to cut straight lines on softer pieces of tile.<strong> If your chosen material is something like porcelain or ceramic, a<\/strong> <strong>manual cutter will work great.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Professionals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a professional or you plan to do a lot of different tiling projects yourself, it&#8217;s an important piece of equipment to have in your toolbox. Since it&#8217;s much smaller and lower-tech than a wet saw, <strong>it&#8217;s more portable,<\/strong> so you can bring it right where you need it. You might also find yourself in <strong>a situation where you don&#8217;t have access to water or electricity<\/strong> and a simpler manual cutter will do the trick for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual cutters come in different sizes, so you can find something that suits your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For really small cuts on thin pieces of tile or glass, you could potentially get away with using a scribe, carbide-tipped pencil, or even an angle grinder, but&nbsp;none of these will give you the ability to cut perfectly straight lines. It&#8217;s worth choosing a full manual cutter, so you don&#8217;t create more waste than you need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does&nbsp;a Manual Tile Cutter&nbsp;Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike a wet saw, a manual tile cutter doesn&#8217;t require electricity or any other additional hookups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A manual cutter features a handle attached to a rail and a small, wheel-shaped blade that slides across the tile and scores or etches a line into it along a perfectly straight line. This will weaken it along with your measurement, so you can break off the extra length by applying pressure to cut it to the size you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-b296754f-814d-421c-a062-80371c2dd616\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-b296754f-814d-421c-a062-80371c2dd616\" id=\"hs-cta-b296754f-814d-421c-a062-80371c2dd616\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6786297\/b296754f-814d-421c-a062-80371c2dd616\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-b296754f-814d-421c-a062-80371c2dd616\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" height=\"191\" width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6786297\/b296754f-814d-421c-a062-80371c2dd616.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, 'b296754f-814d-421c-a062-80371c2dd616', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What You&#8217;ll Need to Get Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Your tile of choice<\/li><li>Measurements of your floor plan<\/li><li>Manual tile cutter<\/li><li>A pencil to mark your measurements<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/how-to-hide-the-cut-edge-of-tile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>A tile file<\/strong><\/a><\/li><li>Safety goggles<\/li><li>Gloves<\/li><li>A clean, flat, stable work surface<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Cut Tile Without a Wet Saw<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, take a measurement to determine what size you need to cut your tile down to. Mark each piece with a pencil or chalk along the line where you&#8217;ll be cutting. It&#8217;s best to cut the first one and make sure everything lines up before moving on to the remaining pieces. This way you can make any necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With your tile cutter on a flat, stable surface, position your first piece of tile into the cutter and line up the handle with your marked line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practice Makes Perfect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Press down firmly, but not too hard; this may take a bit of practice, so you know how much pressure is the right amount for your specific tile cutter and tile material. Don&#8217;t be afraid to try it out on a few pieces first. <strong>Applying even pressure,<\/strong> push the handle along the measurement you marked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Once you&#8217;ve scored your tile, press on the break so that it applies pressure on either side of the scored line until it snaps.<\/strong> Line your cut piece up to where it will be installed to double-check that you measured correctly before you finish the first piece, just in case you need to re-do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smooth out the cut edge with your file or a rubbing stone<\/strong> to get rid of any roughness or uneven surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your tile is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/tile-installation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>ready to install<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tipe and Tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.memic.com\/workplace-safety\/safety-net-blog\/2022\/april\/diy-safety---do-it-yourself-but-dont-injure-yourself\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Safety equipment<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;is important! No matter what project you&#8217;re working on or what method you use to cut tile, you&#8217;re working with sharp tools and pieces, and it will create dust. <strong>Don&#8217;t forget to protect your eyes and hands,<\/strong> and proper ventilation is always a good idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take your time! Rushing will only create wasted material, so go slow and double-check your work and measurements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to <strong>account for grout lines when you take your measurements,<\/strong> as you&#8217;ll need to grout around each piece entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be helpful to have a pair of tile nippers on hand. They&#8217;re best for making small irregular cuts and are inexpensive. Be aware that they don&#8217;t cut as cleanly, so you&#8217;ll definitely need to do a bit of sanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s not uncommon to break pieces of tile using a manual cutter, so make sure you have enough to practice on and to account for waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jump Into Your Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding or updating tile is a great way to make your space more beautiful and valuable, and it&#8217;s a project you can take on yourself.
