How is this cutter on glass tiles?

In my experience glass tiles are quite small. This is a large tile cutter. You can use it on tiles up to 35", and probablydown to about 4" if you had to. But for small glass tile you'd be better off with a grinder with a diamond blade or asmall wet saw.

Yes, I used it to cut glass mosaic tile. For really finer cuts, you may want to consider a wet saw with a glass cutting blade on it but if you're not super fussy, this will work just fine.

Grace,T.tiles are ceramic tile vs. porcelain.purchase to allow for some breakage. The key to any hand tile cutter is a sharp clean blade and an even consistent scribe line as you drag across the surface. This unit has an easy built in method to aid in the break. One note, it will be tricky(on any manual cutter)to slice thin sections/edges off. If this is needed, a motorized tile cutting system may be needed.

It should be fine. Take your time cutting though, let the blade do the work. I used it to cut 2x3 glass tiles, it did wonderful. Bear in mind, the smaller the tile the harder to hold in place while cutting.

Not sure about glass but does a good job with laying diagonal cuts and small little cuts for curved walls. Using 18x18 ceramic tile.

I would ask the supplier if this type of tile is suitable for working with a snap style tile cutter. If so, then I would think the QEP 10552 would be ideal. I have used it to cut small pieces of ceramic & porcelain tile with no problem.

This cutter works by using a very hard, diamond wheel to score a line on the ceramic tile, similar to a glass cutter. When the tile is stressed it will crack along the scored line. I doubt the score line it would make on a soft material, such as vinyl, would be deep enough to be useful for reliably breaking the vinyl along the score line.

With a carbide grout blade you can cut tile . It is very hard on the blade however.

I only used it to cut tile which essentially has a glass coated surface . It worked very well for that . It will be dangerous , be safe .

We were able to cut 1/2 x 1/2 glass mosaic tile pieces easily. Be aware - they actually break the glass so the result is not a perfect slice.

This type of tile cutter can score and "break" glass tile in a straight line which is pretty much the way it works with any type tile, the problem is if you are trying to cut a piece smaller than like 1/2" it doesn't work to well this is where you might need a blade type tile saw. For me I found that it worked ok for smaller jobs but in some cases it just won't give the provisional looking results you may want

I have only cut standard-weight stained glass and glass tiles with this tool. I'm guessing that it might not be effective on anything heavier.

It comes with a Dianond blade for cutting ceramic tile. I use the drop in method and try torning the tileover and cut on the back side.But Im thinking of no chip out on the front.Try the front too. See how that turns out. It is out in my tool house tonight.Ill look at it tomorrow and see what's printedanywhere I can see it. The rpm you want.I love it. Sure made short work of Hardi siding.

It would depend on the tile but I would say you could trim what you can score. 1/4"-1/2" though I would account for more breakage when planing how much to order. On some tiles you may have to use this to score it and finish it with the tile snip. I used it on glass tile and all of my cuts were in the middle of the tile. I had to hand snap most of the tiles but it was easy after scoring the tile.

No....it's designed for ceramic or porcelain. Wet saw with diamond blade for glass is best for glass tiles.
