ABSTRACT:
A tile cutter has a base molding of plastic material, which defines a surface for reception of a tile to be cut/broken, and spaced upstanding ends. Cutting/breaking forces applied during use are resisted/absorbed by a steel bar extending between the upstanding ends underneath the tile reception surface. Metallic guide rods extend between the upstanding ends above the tile-reception surface. A steel connecting plate is received in an upstanding end that is located adjacent where tile cutting/breaking takes place. In use, the guide rods carry a scoring and cutting/breaking device that slides on the rods. The connecting plate interconnects the steel bar and the guide rods without using fixing devices. A breaker rod fits in the surface of the base immediately above the position of the steel bar.
