They will not cut on a true curve. You’d have to trace the curve on the tile and “chip” to the line and the gently around curve. It will of course not be a smooth curve but somewhat jagged and sharpe. So you would want to hide cuts under the toilet, not left visible around it. **Q: Would these work on 1/8" glass tiles (wasn't sure based on a few of the responses). Thank you** A: Yes! I just tried the Compound Tile Nippers and it works. I imagine you refer to this Venetian Glass Tilehttp://www.amazon.com/Mosaic-Mercantile-Glass-Tile-Tiles/dp/B0018H3PWY/ref=pd_sbs_201_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=1HN194RJSE6G4BDJVB23&dpID=41JNFXG-DbL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_, right? If it is this Venetian Glass Tile the one you mean, it indeed works; though this other nipper http://www.amazon.com/Jennifers-Mosaics-Wheeled-Glass-Nippers/dp/B001687W5G/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1444181320&sr=1-1&keywords=tools+mosaicwas specifically created for what you need and it is a little bit better and more accurate.The Compound Tile Nipper, in my opinión, works better with materials like porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and marble tiles. **Q: Will these work on porcelain dishes (using old plates for a mosaic project) and pool tiles? I am a newbie....** A: Yes, I used them on plates and tiles. The pliers are strong and work great, I made a very nice mosaic with them. **Q: Could I use these to cut a 1 inch square tile perfectly in half?** A: Yes. It will allow almost three quarters of an inch max. So half inch cuts are easy. As well as smaller cuts. ## Frequently Bought Together - M-D Building Products 49943 Pro Compound Tile Nippers - Bora 501057 Fine/Coarse Combination Sharpening Stone, Aluminum Oxide Gray, 6" - Fletcher® 8” Running and Nipping Pliers, Breakout Glass Hand Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1097700-m-d-building-pro-compound-tile-nipper-handheld-cutting-tool](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/1097700-m-d-building-pro-compound-tile-nipper-handheld-cutting-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
