FAQs

What materials can this glass tile nipper cut?

This nipper is suitable for cutting glass tile, porcelain, mosaic, wall & floor ceramic, stained glass, and mirror.

What is the maximum tile thickness it can cut?

The nipper can cut tiles up to approximately 6mm (0.24 inches) thick.

Why is there oil on the nipper when I received it?

The oil is a protective anti-rust coating applied during manufacturing. It can be easily cleaned off with a towel before use and does not indicate the product is used.

Does the cutting wheel scroll like some other nippers?

No, the cutting wheel on this SPEEDWOX nipper does not scroll. It requires a specific scoring and snapping technique.

How do I use the plastic breaker bar?

The plastic breaker bar is part of the design to assist in snapping the tile after scoring. It is not fixed and is meant to be engaged by the closing motion of the nipper jaws.

Will this tool help reduce hand fatigue?

Yes, the high-leverage design and spring-action mechanism are specifically engineered to reduce hand and wrist fatigue during use.

Can I use this for detailed corner cuts?

Yes, the nipper is ideal for performing special corner cuts and detailed work on tiles due to its precise cutting action.

Troubleshooting

Nipper is difficult to squeeze or cut.

Ensure the pivot point is clean and lubricated. Check that the tile thickness does not exceed the recommended maximum of 6mm. Verify the cutting wheel is clean and properly aligned.

Uneven or jagged cuts.

Ensure the tile is positioned correctly against the jaws. Score the tile firmly with the cutting wheel before attempting to snap it. Practice on scrap pieces to master the technique, especially with the non-scrolling wheel.

Handles feel slippery.

Wipe the TPR handles with a dry cloth to remove any dust or oils. Ensure your hands are clean and dry when operating the tool.

Cutting wheel appears dull.

Clean the cutting wheel thoroughly. If performance does not improve, the wheel may need replacement. Contact the manufacturer for replacement part information.
