I had a ton of 3x12 subway tile to install, aproximately 200sq ft. I bought this manual tile cutting tool to save time. It did the job well. It cut the ceramic tile enamel with ease after just a light scratch of the tile's surface. I also tried this tool out on hard pressed ceramic tile. The hard pressed tile split fairly easily but a guy should definately use a wet saw for exposed cut, as the manual cutting tool produced much more damage to the tiles decorative surface along the cut edge. Worked for cutting the hard pressed tile where the cut edge is hidden in a corner.Laser is accurate enough for most corner work. If you want serious accuracy and cleaner cut edges you'll need a decent wet saw with the right cutting wheel.I enjoyed using this tool. WorkedExcellent for soft ceramic. Rough edges that needed to look nice can be cleaned up with a tile sanding stone.
