Awkward cuts - whats your method

[Simon benn Leeds]

Yeah I have parrot nippers (don't know who's!) think might of used them for one day!
Rubi glass/porcelain wheeled nippers.
Rubi parrot nippers as well as above,
Oh those stupid nippers with the chipping hammer on one side! Hahahaha
(Desperate one day, think that's all they lasted, porc's again, bus trips off)
Etc, etc.
still want my Bal Nippers *stamps feet!*

I don't blame you stamping your feet.. Takes a long time to break in a pair of nippers,
And I'm glad you said nippers (pincers is also acceptable) but people who say NIBBLERS!..., arggghh don't know why it's just a pet hate of mine , ( as is putting the x on the half of cut you need!... Ha ha

I don't mind it!

I can't really remember , 8 times out of 10 it works out , tape, pencil and a bit of guess work, or if it goes tips up, i use the other as a template as simon said
Ps i call nippers snips, its from my plastering days, tin snips for beading i just miss the tin bit out
I also have a pair of old joinery nippers ive used for years, strong as owt

As I say, I'm not bad at cutting tiles, just really good at making tile templates!..

Standing joke when working with another tiler...
"Where's the nippers ?"
"In the front room with the customer watching telly" lol

I use a bit of cardboard, pens, scissors and tape if I cut too much off, transfer to tile and cut carefully.
I do have a profiling tool, but that's in the bottom of my box and rarely comes out!

Did this one today, maybe not awkward if you own a 120mm diamond drill bit...but I don't! Maybe I should order one..
