A manual tile cutter is a hand-operated tool designed for cutting ceramic, porcelain, and glass tiles. It features a scoring wheel that scratches the surface of the tile, allowing for a clean break along the scored line. This tool is popular among DIY enthusiasts and professionals for its simplicity and effectiveness in achieving precise cuts without the need for electricity. Using a manual tile cutter is straightforward. The user places the tile on the cutting surface, aligns it with the guide, and then presses down on the scoring wheel to create a line. After scoring, the user applies pressure to snap the tile along the scored line, resulting in two cleanly cut pieces. This method is efficient for small to medium-sized projects, making it a valuable tool in tile installation and renovation.
