A hand instrument called a manual tile cutter is used to cut tiles made of ceramic, porcelain, or other materials. Both DIY enthusiasts and experts in the tile installation sector frequently use it. The tile is broken along the scored line by the cutter by first applying pressure to score a straight line on its surface. To indicate the required cutting line on the tile's surface, use it as a measuring tape and pencil. Verify the measurements are precise. The majority of manual cutters have a movable cutting fence or guide.

Set the cutting guide in place after aligning it with the tile's defined line. Note that these tile cutters are intended for straight cuts only. You might need to use a wet saw or other specialized cutting instruments for cuts that require more complex shapes, including curves or diagonal lines. Using a handle or a different breaking tool may be necessary depending on the type of tile cutter you have. To shatter the tile along the scored line, use steady, even pressure. Clean breaking of the tile is expected. Depending on how the tile was broken, the edges could be jagged or uneven. If required, smooth the cut edge with a tile file or sandpaper.
