How to snap off narrow strips of ceramic tile on a tile cutter

Over the years I have done many bathroom remodels that included installation of numerous types of tile. Glazed ceramic “subway” tile is very popular for some types of kitchen remodels, shower and tub surrounds these days. Installing “subway” tile offers a few benefits over larger and denser tile. One major plus of a ceramic tile is that it is fairly easy to cut on a simple cutting board instead of a wet saw. One challenge I constantly faced with cutting ceramic tile on a cutting board is difficulty snapping off narrow strips. I’ve tried different techniques over the years, and the one I’m showing in this video offers a perfect solution. With a little practice this technique proved so useful that I’ve completed a number of ceramic tile jobs with just a tile cutter, polishing stone and an angle grinder.
