Slow down as the score comes to the end to make sure it's scored nicely where it's coming off diagonally.

Where are you placing the breaker bar when you hit or press to snap?
Tried going slow. In the manual it says 10mm in

See post 10 and 11, sometimes it is not the cutter, but the tile. Maybe you could take a piece to someone with a wet diamond saw and try a cut on it.
Some tiles seem to be very "stressed" if that is the word, and will not cut on a snap cutter no matter what you do.

Turns out it was the tiles. Got some feature wall tiles and they cut beautifully.

Thanks all for trying to help me on what was a lost cause.

On another note. I left my levelling clips in too long and some have broken leaving part in the grout line. Any idea on my options to get em out?

Thanks once again

There's load of tiles from porelanosa that do that, especially when it's a small piece off. When it's a cut that is going to show we angle grind each end before we snap it. Ball ache but so is remarking the tile and running out.

Hey, thanks for the reply. My tiles aren't from there. They are mino if I remember correctly. Wish I had thought of grinding the end before cutting. Certainly beats grinding the whole length of the tile.

Onto the floor tiles now which cut like a dream.

Hello all. I hope you guys are well.

I have finally finished tile my bathroom and was excited to use the shower but, after grouting and reading the instructions on the bag it states that shower areas should not be used for 2 weeks!!
