@gardogg65 You can indeed, but it's not efficient. For many cuts, use a snapper cutter or a saw. The hacksaw is very labor intensive and doesn't produce crisp, straight lines.
It's a great tool for that purpose. The point of this video was to show homeowners that can't afford an expensive tool like that there are alternative methods. Thanks for the comment. I intend to do a video showing my angle grinder doing what you did.
You could struggle with a glass cutter and a straight edge. You use the tool I show in the hacksaw to make your L-cuts. Look for used tools on Craigslist for great prices.
Tim, I hope you don't mind me asking, but are those safety glasses you were wearing in that video? I've seen them in some of your other videos from 2007 (the ones I watch most often), and they're larger than the other glasses you were usually wearing in other videos around that time. (I've seen some of your newer vids with your new plastic glasses as well.)
I have no clue. It was a long time ago.
Wet saws work pretty good also and most rental places rent them pretty cheap
If your budget can stretch to it is it better to invest in a powered tile cutter? Is there any advantage with the manual one other than price?
Buy a powered one
You need to use a grinder with a dry diamond wet saw or you can use a wet-diamond saw like the one I have. Watch my wet saw video. Type: tim carter diamond wet saw into the UA-cam search engine.
You can. Many homeowners do not want to invest in an expensive tool like that when they already have a hack saw. All they need is the inexpensive rod saw blade.
WOW! It is nice to know I can cut tile with a hack saw... no need to rent a huge water blade thing
welldone dude
Now, let's assume I'm not a professional contractor with a budget for specialized tools, I don't have a lot of money, I can't afford a wizzy tile cutter nor can I afford to rent one, and I'm only doing one room, two tops. Do you have any usable ideas? Like, say, would it work with a straight edge, utility knife or hacksaw blade, and the palm of my hand to crack it cleanly?
nice

There is no other advantage I am aware of at this early hour.
why not use a grinder with a diamond blade
