How can I make straight cuts in vitreous tile with the mosaic glass cutter?
I can cut vitreous in equal halves and quarters fairly consistently with the mosaic glass cutter, although the glassier reds, oranges and yellows can be slightly more difficult. I notice that I am more likely to get a crecent-shaped cut if I allow the tile to rotate, and I expect some people might have less finger strength or flinch at the moment of cutting, so they might not get the same results for that reason alone. However, the most important piece of advice I can give is to cut with the tile upside down so that you can see the scoring on the bottom as you cut and make sure you aren’t positioning one blade on top of a ridge, which will almost always cause the tile to rotate in the blades at the moment of cutting.
