Default Which powered wheel tile cutter?

You can cut very slight curves just by following a line, however this
is only any good for very gentle curves. If you want a "real" curve or
semi circle, then the way I do it is to make repeated cuts into the
tile leaving "fingers" of tile at right angles to the line. This leaves
a "comb" effect on the tile:


Thats how I'd do it as well but be aware that there will be a significant
undercut at the edge of the curve, this means the edge is a bit fragile
and sharp. Using the corner of the blade to even up the broken out teeth
can be very effective.
