Seems a good idea, although for anything bigger than 250mm might be a struggle to hold
Plus you can just rest the tile on protruding spacers

I'm always up for trying new ways of measuring/marking tiles tho

Don't think I'll be bothering, those cuts are easy enough to do and quicker than faffing about like that!

It's too easy anyway IMO to use any of these tile marking tools. And most I see are too confusing for DIY without practise so that's time consuming too.

One tile in one hand and one pencil in the other. Never needed anything more than that and can mark it for all sorts of intricate cuts. Loo's and pedestals take more time but it's even possible for those too.

I was taught using the 'flip and mark' method but, haven't done it for years, just use a tape measure.

Flip and mark is brilliant for architrave and the likes if you've got your thinking cap on and don't mix your marks up. Bad if you're hungover though and the architrave is huge and intricate.
