How do you cut glass wall tile.

How to cut glass tile 1. Switch to a rotary tool with a tile cutting bit to cut tile closer to the edges of the wall where the grinder blade is too large to reach or to make curved cuts in the tile. Measure the glass tile and mark the desired cut lines then position the tile on the cutting pad of the bar cutter. Cutting ceramic tiles may sound scary but it is actually surprisingly easy.

The tool you use will depend on what sort of cut you are doing and how many tiles you plan on cutting. If you just have to cut a few tiles a glass cutter will suffice. These nippers have two wheels that turn as they cut the glass rather than the straight jaws of hard tile. Since the rotation of the blade means that it s entering through the coating the blow out would be on the glass side.

Do not wet the surface for the rotary tool. The rationale for cutting glass tiles upside down is that the glass tile blade will cut the coating on the back first. Make multiple passes with the blade if needed to cut through the tile and to the subsurface. If you need to cut more tiles however a tiling tool or a wet saw might be more convenient.
