Abstract
A tile cutter having a base frame with a base plate and a guide which is disposed above the base plate and along which a slide carrying a cutting tool is displaceable in order to produce a score on the surface of a tile resting on the base plate, and having a breaker jaw device which is gear-coupled to the slide and is lowered onto the surface of the tile in the end phase of the displacement of the slide in order to break the tile along the score. The breaker jaw device and the slide interact with one another via a control flank arrangement in order to lower the breaker jaw device.
