Mosaic Glass Cutter

Mosaic glass cutters are indispensable for working with glass mosaic tile.   These are the best hand tool available for cutting exact shapes from glass mosaic tile with minimal crushing and splintering.  Don't use regular tile nippers on glass because they were made for ceramic tile and tend to crush everything but vitreous, and the cuts are not nearly as clean or controlled.  For most artists, the mosaic glass cutters tend to pay for themselves in what they save in wasted tile.  Always wear safety glasses with side shields when using the cutters.  For advice on how to cut, glue and grout mosaic tiles, please see our Mosaic FAQ page or our page of Mosaic instructions.  Not recommended for ceramics or tile. (Ceramics are cut with a tile nipper.)
