How do you cut down tile to fit

With a skill saw and blade to cut plastics. Too thick to use a utility knife.

I used a jigsaw with a fine tooth blade similar to a blade used to cut metal. This can be purchased at any hardware store. After cutting use a fine grit 120 sandpaper to smooth the cut edges. I would also recommend a rubber mallet to interlock the tiles together. Makes a very nice job when installed.

you can use heavy duty industrial scissors to cut them or a box cutter or hack saw.

I used a regular saw...the plastic is soft enough that it's easy to cut right through

Absolutely. The minimum is probably around 1 inch. With cuts this small it is critical that the tile is secure against the front rail so that the cutter doesn't wonder. Make just 1 nice medium pressure score then snap. Make sure you maintain a constant pressure as you score the tile from front to back. Also make sure you have a few (then recommended number is about 15%) extra tiles because you WILL lose a few. I used this cutter when redoing my entire bathroom with porcelain tiles which are much harder than ceramic tiles and had no problems.

there is a slider that you need to move from the inside to the outside. Then move the middle metal piece to the side until you can squeeze the handles to cut.

With the right attachment yes it can cut tile. Check out youtube. It has some videos that can show you how

After you staple it down and make sure it's flat, pour 1/2" or 5/8" thick floor levelor over it. Then tile.

It can be cut down to any size you want. I had to cut mine down to 25 x 22 x 1 and it worked like a charm.

Outline the smaller radius the use a metal cutting circular saw blade. That's how I did it

I used this saw on 12"x24" porcelain tile. I actually took the guides off and fed it through by hand. I marked the top of the tile with pencil and was able to cut any length needed. Hope this helps.

The tiles will need to be removed in the area where the decking is to be cut and the fan set. once the fan is set, the tiles will need to be cut and fitted around the fan base.

I cut these on my band saw, but you have to remember that there are spaces between each board and the bottom plastic frames are screwed on in several places, so sometimes you cut a piece and the piece you cut off comes apart into several pieces. You have to think about where you're cutting before cutting (also to make sure you're not cutting through one of the screws and ruin whatever blade you're cutting with). You could probably also cut with a hacksaw or scroll saw. You could cut the plastic section with a heavy duty type of scissors, but to cut the wood straight you'll need some kind of powered cutter. When cutting, I always laid the tile on the wood part. I never cut with the plastic side down, so sometimes you have to think backwards before cutting too. It's possible to cut, but not easy.

I have used this cut-off tool/grinder to cut tile. You will need to buy a tile blade. It's not the best for making long straight cut but it gets the job done. I found it to be most useful for making irregular cuts.

I just used a box cutter. You can score the tile and then snap it pretty easily.

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 a powered pruning saw to cut mine to size, although I had a box of the four-slat tiles to use around the edge. I felt that made a nicer border. Worked great; very easy to cut between the segments.

That depends on the kerf (thickness) of the blade, usually 1/8 in and how you are cutting the material. I find it easiest to use small clamps to hold the tile in place so that you can get a great cut that has to be precise. You can ultimately take as much or little off of material as you need, just take your time.

Yes, you should be able to cut an 18" x 18" tile. The blade is thicker than the holder for the guard and the table of the saw is clear of any fixed parts.

We are presently cutting 6" X 24" porcelain tiles and are having no problems. We don't think you will have any problems cutting the tiles you described. we really like our tile saw. Good luck.
