The tiles are Porcelain 3/8" thick and they are smooth. One of those modern looking ones

@stephenquackenbush

It should cut those, some tile cutters are better than others so perhaps look at a better model- or you could try the new blade first

Thanks for the video. How often should I change the blade? Is there a certain amount of pressure needed because my tiles keep splitting off to the side?

@stephenquackenbush

The blades normally last a long time, but if it is blunt you should change it.

Are the tiles smooth or textured?

How thick are the tiles?
