Cutting small tiles requires precision and care to avoid chipping or breaking the tiles. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve perfect cuts using your small tile cutter:

1. Measure and Mark: Start by measuring the area where the tile will be placed. Use a pencil or a non-permanent marker to mark the cutting line on the tile.
2. Choose the Right Cutter: Depending on the type of tile (ceramic, porcelain, glass), select an appropriate small tile cutter.
3. Secure the Tile: Place the tile on the cutter’s base, aligning the cutting line with the cutter's guide. Ensure the tile is firmly secured to prevent movement.
4. Score the Tile: Apply steady pressure on the cutter to score the tile along the marked line. Scoring helps in creating a clean break line; explore tile scoring wheels.
5. Snap the Tile: After scoring, apply gentle but firm pressure to snap the tile along the scored line. For manual tile cutters, this often involves pressing down on the handle or lever.
