Abstract: A tile cutter including an elongated bottom plate having a transversely extending tile stop backing and a longitudinal breaking web disposed on the bottom plate. A slide is movably mounted along a horizontal guide above the breaking web, with the slide angle lever being pivotally mounted on the slide and including a cutting wheel, breaker head and an actuating arm. The bottom plate is divided into a front and rear bearing area which, together with the tile breaker web, form a reliable three-point support even for small tile strips by a lateral transverse recess having a width which is sufficient for enabling gripping of a tile to be cut peripherally on the edge side.
