Not in our local ones. Might want to rent a saw at a tool place though.
No. But they do sell tile saws (wet saw) that work great and are easy to use.
You don’t need a wet saw. This would only be necessary for really large areas, marble work, etc.
Lowes or Home Depot sell a small manual tile cutter that runs $23 and will cut all tile up to 12″.
I have one of these and I did all of my kitchen counters, backsplash and island with ease.
Even if I would have had a tile saw, I would still use the portable cutter.
Here’s the link. Good luck.
Yeah, some of them do. Just go back to the tile section and ask. I know my local Lowe’s does. They charge per tile I think. I personally recommend renting a wetsaw or buying a cheap wetsaw. You can buy one for about $50-75 if you buy a cheap one. The reason why I say that is because trying to get the cuts right when you are running back and forth isn’t the easiest to do, especially if you have a lot of tiles to cut. There were many times when I did tiling in my kitchen that I needed to adjust how I cut the piece. For the cheap ones, I’d recommend buying a cheap large Rubbermaid container that isn’t real tall to set the wetsaw in. It makes cleaning up a lot easier.
If you have only a very few tiles to cut, then it might be better to have Lowe’s or Home Depot cut them.
The manual tile “cutters” work ok as long as you don’t have to work on small tiles or very thick tiles. For my kitchen I had small thick tiles, so using a manual tile “cutter” didn’t make sense. Manual tile “cutters” don’t really cut the tile. They score the tile then break it. That’s why thick small tiles work poorly on them. Manual tile cutters tend to work better for large or thin tiles like floor tiles or bathroom wall tiles like porcelain tiles. If the floor tiles are large floor tiles the manual tile “cutter”/breaker would be your best/cheapest option.
You should contact both companies yourself–however, have you considered renting a tile saw? Check rental companies in your area
The Rialto Ca store does cut tile at $0.50 a cut. Its only straight cuts though. For rounded cuts I would recommend a Rotozip with the tile bit attachment.
if yoy dont want to buy the wet saw. you rent one from home depot.
You can rent a wet saw from most True Value Hardware stores, or, if not there, your local tool rental outlet (it’s really best to cut them as you go).
I have been to those stores for tiles. They offer to install your tile, but I don’t think they will cut it for you. You van hire someone to cut your tile.
I don’t think they do that type of cutting. You could try to rent a wet saw from an equipment rental company - they don’t usually run too much.
