There are some tools for cutting tiles. You can use a circular saw or a manual tile cutter. But for tile cutting best is tile saw. Ceramic tiles are chipping easily thats why wet tile saws are best for cutting ceramic tiles.

I use a tile nipper a lot. These are great to use when a small piece needs to be cut off of a tile.

First, score the tile with a tile cutter. Then use the tile nipper to break the small piece off.

There are also times that a piece didn't break off all the way when snapping it with the tile cutter. When this happens, you can also use the tile nipper to break the rest off.

To cut ceramic tile, use a tile cutter or a wet saw. With a tile cutter, score the tile's surface using a scoring wheel, then apply pressure to break it along the scored line. A wet saw uses a diamond blade to make precise cuts, with water cooling the blade.
