Cutting Tile

With the tile saw I cut each edge to the back line. I then made multiple cuts about 1/4" apart to the back line creating tabs. Using a glass scoring tool I scribed the back line. I snapped of the 1/4" tabs then using the nippers nipped as much off as I dared. Back at the tile saw I tilted the tile up into the blade as it cut to a near 90 degree cut along the back line and made lots of these cuts until the back line was established.
