what tools do you need to cut these tiles

Haven't had a need to cut them. Try calling the manufacturer's customer service department at 877-595-2040.

They are less flexible than I had expected so I would think any saw would do it.

I would think a circular saw would cut through them easily, they are a little too thick to use an untility knife or hacksaw without it taking forever, though possible in a pinch

I didn't need any except for when I had to remove of couple of inches on the last row.

for cutting stone you should use a saw specifically designed for the job it needs to be a water saw. the water keeps the blade from overheating and cuts down on the dust which is harmful to inhale (think black lung disease) a tile saw would be a better fit but in any case you would need a special blade designed for the stone you're cutting

I used a utility knife. they cut easy, and really do look very good for a low priced flooring, very much a silvercolor. Easy to work with.

As long as they are not diagnonal cuts. That being said, this saw works best on tiles in the 12" to 13" range.

Hello Diane, Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!

No, you need a wet cutter bit to do that, They are costly so you may want to check out the tile supply outlets or a rental yard.

If it is anything like cutting ceramic tile, I would think a wet saw would work far better. But I have no idea how tough the brick is that you are thinking of cutting.

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.

We installed 500mm(~19 3/4 inch) tile, and as long as scoring pressure was constant, the cuts were very clean. Diagonal cuts will likely depend on the angle. The only cuts I found troublesome were ones where I was trying to trim less than an inch.

We cut them with a very sharp box cutter. We needed some 4x4 and some 2x2, so we bought the 4x4 and cut them down, not very easy even with a sharp cutter.

Pencil mark tile to cut and trim with table saw or hack saw. Chalk edge with same color to make it look like a finished edge.

I also cut them off using a jig saw. The plastic is thick enough and you could easily cut it with a hacksaw.

I agree with Jason. You will break them unevenly. It is a good product but better for wider tiles.I tried using it for 6 x 24 tiles, and broke 30-40%, then used the wet saw to cut them and worked better.With square tiles it worked lot better.

These are made of a pliable foam/plastic type material. Although I have not tried to cut mine, I would probably use a power miter saw to do so for the cleanest cut. I'm sure it would cut with a utility knife (box cutter) as well.

Well I'm a tile installer and use this saw to cut glass tile frequently. I would suggest that you have a high quality diamond blade though. This saw is capable of cutting something as wide as a wine bottle. It is a awesome saw

Has anyone ever cut slate tiles with this tool? I'm trying to finish a shower wall, and need to rip 2"x2" slate mosaic tiles that are about a half inch thick. I understand I should get a diamond blade.

Not easy....usually with a hacksaw or an axe. I just usually cut them in half, not small pieces...
