Abstract: This disclosure relates to a tile cutter including a generally horizontal base plate, a linear ridge fixed to the base plate, and at least one guide rail extending above and in parallel with the ridge. A slider is slidable on the rail. A manipulating lever including a main portion and an end portion is provided, the end portion having front and rear ends respectively away from and adjacent the main portion. The rear end is supported pivotably on the top of the slider on a first axis extending in parallel to the base plate and perpendicularly to the rail. A lower link is supported rotatably on the bottom of the slider on a second axis extending in parallel to the first axis. An intermediate link interconnects the front end of the lever end portion and one end of the lower link, the other end of which carries a cutting blade and press plates.
