Cutting tiles by hand

[theenglishman1]

Looking to find an easy method to cut concrete/clay tiles by hand?

I have to repair/replace approx 10 tiles, as I cannot find exact tiles I will have to cut each one to match the existing.

suggestions greatly received.

What size do you need to cut them down to? And what thickness are they?

and why by hand ?

I'd cut them like bricks, chisel and lump hammer a groove all the way around them then whack them.

If the type you have is the type I'm thinking of.

I have clay "block paving" on my drive. I'd be able to cut these like that.

Concrete should do the same i'd have thought.
