I'm trying to cut 18"x18" porcelain tiles with a cutter I got from Lowes.
If I cut a tile more or less in equal peices, it snaps OK. If I try to
cut
3" off a side, the big piece usually gets chipped 1/2" in the corner where
I
snap it. Is there some secret for using the tile cutter, especially when
trying to snap off smaller pieces?

Thanks.

rent a wet saw for a day to do all your cuts, or take them to lowes and have
them do it on their wet saw for a very small fee.
