do you mean ceramic tile? I would not. you would need to buy a special wheel and it would be hard to hold small pieces safely . Better to rent a wet saw from a tool rental for a few hours and make sure you don't get cut. I always try to think safety first. Thye wet blades does not chip the edges of the tile and has a guide so you can use a push stick and not your fingers.

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

I'm sure you would just burn up blades and ruin the tiles. You could try a little trim piece, but I wouldn't hold my breath. You can buy a small wet saw from Northern Tool, or rent one from your local hardware store.

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.

I have only used this saw to cut conventional ceramic tile. It was fine for that..................have you tried score and snap, as you would cut window glass?

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

yes - but it can not cut 24" tile straight through. I returned it because of that and bought one that could cut 24" tiles.

I agree with Jason. You will break them unevenly. It is a good product but better for wider tiles.I tried using it for 6 x 24 tiles, and broke 30-40%, then used the wet saw to cut them and worked better.With square tiles it worked lot better.

Yes this cutter can cut a 12"x24" into two 12"x12" tiles. If you are cutting hard porcelain an electric wet saw would be required.

I never cut glass, which has a hardness of 5, with this hole saw. However, I have used it to cut several holes in Class 5 porcelain tile (hardness of 7), which is less than the hardness of 10 for diamond. The tile was about 5/16" thick. The tool cuts a clean hole. You must keep the cutting edge flooded with water.

Yes, very well, using the appropriate cutting wheel. I have cut 1/4 inch thick, ceramic floor tile with ease. I was even able to cut deeply into a concrete landscape block.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

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

Sorry not sure.... a 1/2 inch isn't really too much though i would think it would still work

I'm assuming you are talking about ceramic or porcelain tiles if so, the the answer is NO! You would have to use a ceramic tile saw or a score and snap saw. The Skil flooring saw could be used to cut laminate floor tiles.

I wouldn't chance it unless you're an experience cutter. Your diagonal is going to be longer than the tools capability. If more than a few pieces I'd rent or invest in a wet saw for tile. This is a wonderful tool for a small job but I would never use this for more than a small bath or kitchen.

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.
