Abstract

A ceramic tile cutter is provided with at least one auxiliary base which is fastened pivotally with one longitudinal side of a base of the ceramic tile cutter such that the upper surface of the auxiliary base is lower than the crest of a ridged portion of the base. The auxiliary base can be swiveled to give an added width to the base so as to facilitate the locating of an oversize ceramic tile on the base of the ceramic tile cutter.
