Types of Tile Tools Available

Tile scriber

Made from a hard carbide and tungsten tip, the tool is used to score on the glazed surface of the tile so as to make it easier for the selected part of tile to be broken off, usually along the line.

The scriber has to be used alongside a straight edge to make sure that cut made is straight. 

Tile cutter 

A tile cutter comes in handy when cutting many tiles and you want to cut them in a straight line. The tool will allow you to cut the tiles in various designs, but the more common type of a tile cutter incorporates a wheel, which is dragged across and a breaking arm, which you will push downwards after pulling the scribe wheel across to break the tile. 

Once you get used to the tile cutter you will be able to work faster and you will also find it easier to use it than a tile scriber.
