The invention relates to a machine for cutting tiles and comprising: a stand provided with a bottom for supporting a tile; a cutting member; and a tile-breaking bar secured to the stand, projecting relative to the bottom thereof, and enabling a tile to be broken after it has been cut. According to the invention, the stand has a first notch suitable for receiving a first corner of a tile to be cut, and a slide which is mounted to slide along the tile-breaking bar and which includes a second notch suitable for receiving a second corner of said tile. An application lies in providing a machine enabling a cutting axis to be adapted accurately, simply, and cheaply relative to tiles having two opposite corners.
