Superior Ceramic Tile Nippers Superior tile nippers are manufactured from the best carbide tungsten steel in the U.S.A. Superior tile nippers are not recommended for use on porcelain tile Features Made for lasting durability, they are the finest quality obtainable Length 8 inch (20.32 cm) Tile nippers are used to make circular cuts in ceramic tile Use for straight or angled cuts, although you will find it much easier to use a tile cutter or wet saw to make these types of cuts Take small "nips" or "bites" out of it using the tile nippers. Take your time and keep the "bites" small. Otherwise, you risk breaking the tile and having to start all over again Once the tile is completely cut, a piece of 60-grit sandpaper or a special rubbing stone used by ceramic tile contractors will smooth the finished edge.
