Leah - once again you have saved me from a padded cell. I'd never done tile before, and you're the only person who mentioned "you only need one pass of the blade". Now my manual tile cutter is working as expected. Thank you! and Merry Christmas!
THANK YOU!!!
THANK YOU for making a video that goes to the point (no chit-chat for 7 minutes), showing step-by-step directions (really well documented and shown) and finally for providing feedback of what to get if we need to do more detailed job on tile cutting.
THHHHHAAAAANNK YOU!!!!!!!!!
you're very welcome, glad you liked it!

seejanedrill you are the best!
I agree, super helpful video with no fluff!
Totally agree. Sometimes you’re already in the middle of the task and just need a quick help through. You make that happen without all the chatter.
This is a very old video, but the knowledge is still so useful! I got a tile cutter and the instructions weren't great. I'm so happy I found your video, as I now I understand how to use it!
Same here!
4 years late to the party, but honestly one of the best instructional videos I have seen. THANK YOU! I think Travis Jansen said it best, just easy to listen to and understand!
I’m 7 years late. Better late than never! 😬
Jane, Jane, Jane. I cannot thank you enough. 7 videos and no one explained as well as you. No more drafting, now I CAN DO. Again, thanks!
This worked great for redoing the shower/bathtub of my kid's bathroom. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxfiuHoZJo3bgdVPFRxQ-iqPpfbEHl2cYt I didn't like the guide, so I took it off. I just used a fine tipped sharpie on the tile and followed that line. It does make a wet mess, and once I started looking like I wet myself I started wearing a towel and apron while cutting. The blade it came with worked great until we wore it out. It was better than the replacement one we bought. I tried looking for just their blade, but failed. Not really for larger tiles unless you stack stuff on either side to support the tiles. Anyway, would definitley buy again.
I have done several DIY home projects with just the guidance of your great videos. You have a knack for explaining things without all the fluff and round about. Your tutorial on doing a skim coat was magical
Parents where arguing for 2 hours because they thought their method was best. Showed them this video; they shut up and got to work. Thank you :3
Well played, Demeter!
@@dimwitsadvocate6264 I remember this day.
@@Demeter454 Lol How did the project come out?
@@DavidAneru90 it came it great, they followed instructions, completed the bathroom tile and the balcony.
i remember the good old days of arguing with my parents over the best tile cutting method - then like all normal teens i went out, got high and laid
You're the best! You've helped me through a lot of projects and learn how to use many power tools safely. THANK YOU!
Thanks for the tips. I like the way you explain it in your videos. I started 6 years ago - saw your video on drywalling when I purchased my first house. I didn't want to live in the dorms or rent so I purchased a fixer upper. I went to college, went to work and on the weekends worked on my house. Saw many of your videos to help me along the way. In 2018 I ended up selling that house for almost triple what I got it for, and I now do flipping full time. I don't do the work anymore, but I still come back time to time to teach myself when I do work on small projects here and there. Thanks again, and cheers!
I just pulled this out of my attic after not using it for probably 10 yrs. This got me going again after staring at it for almost 5 minutes trying to remember the exact steps. Thanks
You’re a great teacher. Thank you. I just took a job as an innkeeper so I am doing a lot of OJT.
What a doll you are!!! Thank you so much, got my tiling job done perfectly. But as you say, as long as you are making straight cuts only. Wonderful.
Excellent video. I love the fact that you explain things so well. As you scored the tile I was thinking that if it was scored a few times it might make for a guaranteed clean cut but just as I thought this you said don't do that. It's like you know what temptations people have and warn against it. I appreciate that.
+ds99 :) glad it was helpful!
I would like to thank you 1,000 times. I am a retired chef who knows nothing about DYI home repair. I am replacing a vanity in a bathroom. Of course there's no tile under it. I needed about 8 tiles cut. I was going to buy a diamond wheel to cut tile, attach it to my drill and try that. I didn't want to rent a machine for 8 tiles. So, I watched this video and I bought a manual cutter. $45 at home depot. It was PERFECT for what I needed.
Thanks again. Many thumbs UP ↑.
Been watching you for years. Needed a refresher on this device that's been hanging on m6 garage wall for a decade. Great video! Thank you.
Every time I need to do something around the house- I know that I can watch your videos for tips and help. Really appreciate your videos!
I can't wait to do my tile project now, Thank you Leah!!! I feel like I can do this now!
Thank you for making this video. I had never used a tile cutter before, and even looking at the thing I couldn't imagine how it worked. After watching the video I couldn't believe that's how you did it, but I did exactly like Jane in the video and it worked perfectly. Thanks!
I am removing my old granite base board and adding new tile to the existing tile and I don't know anything about cutting tile. But this video made the "lining up" so much easier. I had to use a flash light to make sure the blade was in the right place -- I cut my first tile perfectly - now just 26 more tiles to go. Thank you.
THANKS Leah. You have saved me for a SECOND time. Your videos make the unfamiliar easy and simple. You have saved me from stress and spending too much money on electric tools. God bless you.
Chris Chant You're very welcome, Chris! I'm glad to be of help. :)
i work at an industrial tech shop and your videos helped me tremendeously so i can explain the stuff we're selling to the buyer without looking like an idiot. big thanks!!
Thanks, you've saved the day in this house! I'm now known as the tile cutting master in this household :D
"NEVER" let this easy to understand , thorough and concise video 📹 stray your mind away from the world of DIY!! THANKS LEAH !!!
Thank u so much your video has made me to cut a tile for the fist time of using the manual tile cutter, your video is so simply and strightfoward to follow ❤❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Lea, gosh I have had a tile cutter for two days from HD and have put off cutting my tile due to cut '2' and they came out great then cut another '2' and they DIDNT ! I watched three other video's 'men' showing how to use the tile cutter and they did not have the detail that your video did. So I had gotten discouraged and kept putting off finishing the job, then I found your video , EUREKA !!!! not only do I know where i was going wrong but I now am excited again about finishing my job. Thank you so much had I noticed that there was a video by a woman I would have watched yours first Im now a subscriber to your channel and will make you my go to place for instruction of this kind in the future. Great job thanks a million lady :)
Huge thanks. short, CLEAR, and to the point with a simple demonstration.
Linda I like your videos because you give the information straight forward with no additional funny lines or antics. I get very good step-by-step information that is very informative and helpful.
you're very welcome, Linda, glad you like the vids!
Jane, I always find your videos immensely helpful and inspiring. I’m a DIY’er and while waiting for some handyman to get around to do a job, I just figure stuff out for myself with help from you. Thank you so much for your informative, to-the-point videos.
Greetings from Australia. I just bought a tile cutter and you have shown me how to use it. Now I'm ready for my first project... thank you.
you're welcome, Keith! Glad you found us!
Thanks for the great video, I was using my new manual tile cutter wrong (starting at the wrong end and not getting good results). I was reading to chuck it out. But now I see what I was doing wrong and it doesn't take as much effort as I was exerting. First time tiling and was beginning to think I should never have tried to do it by myself. Now I am so happy to have been able to do it and have the floor look good.
Nice
Fantastic video. Thank you so much for the great explanation. I rented a tile cutter and was able to flawlessly cut 1 tile to finish my bathroom renovation. Many many thanks!
Brilliant video, thank you! Very clear instructions and it is even better that you are encouraging women to do DIY.
you're welcome, and thanks!
Your awesome! I love that you explain in a way even a novice can understand. No matter what project I'm working on, I look to you first to help me understand. Thank you!
I need to cut tile tomorrow. I will let you know how I did. Thanks Leah you made it easy!
Just seeing your video 6 years later! Thanks for the help!
Best voice. Best energy. Best instruction. Best content. Always.
Thank you Lia. The tile cutter which i purchased from B&Q, ( macallister cutter) came with no instructions whatsoever and to someone who has never done tilling before i didnt know where to start until i saw your easy to understand footage, thank you so much, the bathroom is looking good!!
fantastic, glad your project is going well!
First video I came to and so glad! First tile I cut worked perfectly! Thank you so much
Thanks! Used a tile cutter years ago -- but needed a refresher. Exactly what I needed to know.
You’re the best! I’m DIY doer because if your help and encouragement! I’ve fixed tools, learned how to use tools and started project that I thought I’d never attempt. Muah!!
Thanks, Leah. I just bought my first linear tile cutter and it didn't come with any kind of instructions. So naturally I came straight here to get the inside scoop on how to do it right. Thanks for the help.
+NorthernChev you're welcome!
Watch the first time for the great instruction and then watch a couple more times just for the soothing sound of Leah’s voice. Lol
I’m filing for the first time on my own. Very grateful for your help!!
5 minutes from searching for a solution to cutting a tile. Perfect. Thanks.
You have a very calming voice and explain things very well.
Thanks for this video. I'm a construction manager been one for years and didn't know the proper way to use a manual tile cutter. .
you're welcome, Angel, glad to be of help!
Thanks!! I've had a terrible tiling job done by the professionals, so I'm about to try out a project myself, and this sure is helpful!!
Thanks dear, you pop up in my search results often and never disappoint. I knew how to use my breaker, but I had a helper asking how to use one while I was doing a truss on the garage addition. I looked up the video and threw him my phone. Now I’m just trying to find a video that teaches common sense to adults.
Pretty simple I was told these tile cutters were garbage. I’ve never personally used one until tonight and watching this video made it a lot easier. I always use a wet saw. But for doing straight runs and for starter pieces this method was fast. Thanks for showing this video
Very will put together video. This is better than the box directions. One of the best how-to videos.
Thanks Leah, always enjoy watching your videos as. they are so educational 👍🏾💐
Wow thanks... I had one of these with no directions and had no idea what I was doing. I thought you had to saw at least 1/4 through the entire tile or something. This has saved me hours (who knows maybe weeks...) and I'm going through these tiles like a machine now.
Lia it's not first time you are helping me , after your explanation everything looks so easy ! Thanks a lot !
Hi Leah, greetings from Melbourne Australia! Thank you for the tutorial. I borrowed one of these from my local tool library but had no instructions or clue how to use it (lol)! Looking forward to finishing the job tomorrow. thanks again!
You are great at explaining things and the camera work helps a lot
One is never to old to learn. Thanks so much.
Thanks Mrs. Leah, you're the best! God bless!
thank you for posting this! I was hesitant to try and tile our kitchen back splash myself, but this video makes manual tile cutting a lot less intimidating so I think I'll give it a shot. Thanks Lea!
you're welcome, Madeleine, and good luck with your project!
Thank you for publishing your down to earth, detailed videos.
Thanks from Pennsylvania Leah! I'm borrowing one of these tile cutters from a co-worker to make a hearth for my woodstove this fall
Leah, once again you have been very helpful, thank you. You are a very skilled teacher.
Thank you, Leah! The instructions that came with mine are garbage and it wasn't working the way I thought. Now I see how to line it up correctly - not sure I did that because I was just following a terrible little diagram. Your scoring demo helped, too...hoping it works this time! Love all your videos, by the way.
This is great, I'm doing a tile in the kitchen and I had nightmares of the neighbors screaming when I used a loud wet saw, but I'll just use this manual tile cutter instead! The room is square with really no crazy shapes. Looks much easier than I thought it would be, thanks for the video!
+Michelle Amanti you're very welcome, Michelle, and good luck with your project!
Cheers, I had it mostly sorted but I couldn't figure out what that piece was that snaps the tile before this.
Thumbs up.
lol if I hadn't seen people use them before I probably would have had no idea what that was either.
Some people are just born to teach this lady is one of them I would have gotten A's in all her classes
Thank you so much! We just finished our first small tile project!!! Your video took the fear out of using the tile cutter!
Fantastic, congrats on finishing your project! way to go!
You are the only person I give a thumbs up before I actually watch. I already know your video is going to be awesome!!!
Thank you so much! Me and my husband is in the process of laying ceramic tile. We bought this cutter the instructions does not tell us nothing you have shown me. Since I've watched this now I got it! Thanks so much! #womencandoittoo
you're welcome, Kim, glad it was helpful!
Thank you for clearing that up!! I was trying to cut corner pieces.
Thank you for the straight forward to the point, easy to understand instructions -great tutorial and a great help
Wow thank you Jane! I’m attempting my first tile project and found your video to be exactly what I needed!
Thanks for the refresher, this was all I needed! Now to get cutting
Another great video. They are direct. Accurate and very informative. Thank you.
Straight to the point, I like it! Thanks it saved my bf and I (first time home buyers) a lot of arguing and frustration
Thank you Leah, you are more help than the store's own helpline.
+Lynne Selby You're very welcome, Lynne! :)
Thank you for all your tips and advice. You make every project feel achievable.
Thanks Leah for the beginner instructions...now I am ready to cut and finish my very small bathroom project!!!! You rock!
you're welcome, neicy, and good luck with your project!
Straight to the point. I have a manual tile cutter as well, and was wondering if I was doing it right. You used one time scoring. I'm going through it 3 or 4 times. Didn't even think of putting the pressure to snap it.
Thanks Leah, have watched a couple of your videos, one for painting with oil based paint and now for cutting tiles-many thanks.
Dave in Australia.
Thank You!!! Your video is just what I needed to tackle my basement floor project!
Thank you I love that you explained in detail what each part does, other videos assume that you know what to do :)
Thanks again. Allways give me confidence to do on my own.
Thank you, Leah. I was about to throw my cutter in the bin. Now, I am cutting confidently.
Thank you lady, I tried couldn't get it done, definitely with practice it will come...
Leah has convinced me I CAN do this.
Thank you! No Bloke Waffle, gets straight to the point. Excellent demo, focus on the job not the person. Excellent Vid and it helped me,
Glad to hear it.
I had no idea a manual tile cutter was so quick and easy to use. Thanks for the video!
Eric Simms You're welcome, Eric, glad you liked it!
Thank you. I really appreciate you taking time to make these videos. Very helpful, I learn something new every time.
Jason Biloda You're very welcome, Jason. Thanks for writing!

Absolutely perfect explanation and demonstration. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Love your videos you explain everything necessary without going off on a useless tangent. Thank you!
you're welcome, Janine!
Great lecture. Highly recommended and educating. More grease to your elbow. Thank you for sharing
As always straight forward nail on the head advice thank you.
Just bought one, with no instructions. As usual your video simple and too the point. Thanks
After viewing your video, I was able to cut the tiles for the bathroom. Much thanks
+george grant that's great, glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for posting this. I bought a role cutter a few days ago and no instructions in the box. Your demo was straight forward and worked well for me. Bless you!
