The price is tough to beat if you need to cut large-format tiles. We bought this after struggling with a water-lubricated circular saw tile cutter that did the job, but made a huge mess and took a long time to cut 2' x 4' ceramic tiles. This cutter did a good job at scoring and breaking tiles along a straight line, after we got the hang of it, and despite the terrible and skimpy manual that was written by someone who mistakenly thought that they knew how to write English. The laser guide was mis-aligned and we broke the first tile trying to follow the bad directions.I did a search online and found a video for a very similar tile cutter distributed by a different company. The video showed how to align the laser guide and to properly score and break tiles. After that, we successfully cut most of the tiles we needed for the job at hand. This tile cutter ought to work for you too, provided you realize that you are not going to get a super high-quality tool for such a low price.
