I am tiling my bathroom walls with a ceramic tile. I want to do a diamond pattern. When I cut the pieces on a 45 degree angle, the tile chips off when I get close to the opposite corner. I don't get a clean cut from end to end. What is the secret to getting a nice end to end cut?

Try doing the curved parts of both corners first, then the cut. Alternatively, pay a prof. to cut just those important tiles.

You may also want to try renting a wet saw. Some box stores will cut tiles for you for a cut charge.hope this helps... rate my answer please
