Check the fit

The maker’s instructions give a tile range of 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Its web specifications disagree, so confirm the thickness with QEP before buying for thicker tile.

When to choose it

The offset jaws are intended for local shaping around obstacles such as a pipe opening. At 8 inches long, this is a handheld option to consider for irregular cuts after the straight edges of the tile are already sized.
