This is a score and snap type of tile cutter. This type of cutter will only cut ceramic or porcelain tiles and will not cut natural stone such as slate or marble. Simply insert your tile, score it and then snap it. |

The diamond wheel cutting machine like this is very versatile as it can cut all types of tiles including marble and slate. You can also tilt the table so that you can cut an angled edge onto the tile, which is handy for mitering corners. |
