Yes it does. I used mine on both ceramic and porcelain tiles and got good results.

Have not tried it on glass tiles but cuts great on porcelain tiles and really easy to use.

Yes it does plunge cuts. I have only cut up to 18 inch tiles but I believe it will cut 24 inch tiles. I do love this saw and it is very strong and durable. Definitely lives up to the name of the "beast". Hope this helps

With the right attachment yes it can cut tile. Check out youtube. It has some videos that can show you how

I used this on tile with an angle grinder for a small number of detail cuts. It cuts through tile very well. I use it on pavers as well. Haven't used this blade in a wet saw though. Good blade for my use.

It would depend on the tile but I would say you could trim what you can score. 1/4"-1/2" though I would account for more breakage when planing how much to order. On some tiles you may have to use this to score it and finish it with the tile snip. I used it on glass tile and all of my cuts were in the middle of the tile. I had to hand snap most of the tiles but it was easy after scoring the tile.

I just finished a project that had stone pieces mixed with some glass tiles. The saw did fine for cuts across both types of tiles.

yes, but, this does a very poor job splitting large tiles. my experience with it was it would only provide a straight break on smaller tiles. on large tiles which incidentally are more expensive the cut wanders towards the end of the cut. you would be much better off buying or renting a basic wet saw or even using a diamond tile blade on a grinder.

This type of tile cutter can score and "break" glass tile in a straight line which is pretty much the way it works with any type tile, the problem is if you are trying to cut a piece smaller than like 1/2" it doesn't work to well this is where you might need a blade type tile saw. For me I found that it worked ok for smaller jobs but in some cases it just won't give the provisional looking results you may want

Yes. We cut alot of tile with the original blade with no problem. It worked great!

Don't think it will cut tile however this tool I've used for everything wooden! It is excellent tool for any fine detail trim work!

Yes and no. Ok for small tiles. I measured and put lines on tile for my angle cuts. Used to cut 20" tiles, so had to improvise on large angle cuts. Worked good for me.

Yes it can drill 4 to 5 holes. I drilled six holes in porcelin and still very sharp. I also drilled six more holes in cermertic tiles and still very sharp. Just start the drilling at a 45 degree to start the hole. slow speed. Be sure to hold the drill steady at the start.

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it, since this scores ceramic tiles... It doesn't really cut through them.Vinyl tiles you be better off using a sharp Stanley knife

Has anyone ever cut slate tiles with this tool? I'm trying to finish a shower wall, and need to rip 2"x2" slate mosaic tiles that are about a half inch thick. I understand I should get a diamond blade.

Since it cuts holes very well into hard Class 5 porcelain tile, I believe it would cut concrete too. However, once you drill in about the thickness of bath tile, you would need to remove the pilot from the arbor. You would also need to stop periodically to chip and remove the plug because the plug limits how deep you can go. Use lots of water to cool the bit as you drill.

We are presently cutting 6" X 24" porcelain tiles and are having no problems. We don't think you will have any problems cutting the tiles you described. we really like our tile saw. Good luck.
