What it does
8" carbide nipping tool in forged steel. The wide carbide edge nips ceramic tile up to 1/2" thick. Offset jaws reach tight spots, and the return spring reopens them after each bite.
How to use it
- Take small bites from the edge, working toward the line. Never take a full-width bite at the mark.
- Support the tile close to the bite with the waste side free.
- Wear safety glasses. Glazed tile throws sharp chips.

Common questions
Can it cut a straight line?
Not cleanly. A nibbled edge looks like damage. Use the 19410 to score and snap straight cuts.
How thick a tile will it cut?
Up to 1/2" thick. That is the only published capacity.
Will it cut porcelain or glass tile?
Porcelain is hard to nip and tends to chip raggedly. Glass mosaic shatters, so do not use it on glass.
Can it cut a hole in the middle of a tile?
No. The jaws need an edge to start from. Use a rod saw for an interior cutout.
