Can it cut though tile
1470229
I havn't used it on tile yet, but I did drill a hole in my concrete foundation on the edge were the footer is. I needed an entry point for my water line. It would not cut thru the bottom plate, so I used a carbide hole saw to go thru the bottom plate. After that I changed back to the diamond bit, used a lot of water, took my time, and it bored all the way thru. And the bit was in great shape. The bottom plate helped hold water around the bit to keep it cool, and it worked great. I would think tile would be no problem. Try to keep water on it while you drill, and go slow.

Yes, but ceramic glazed requires a bit of caution, a drill press would be helpful

It may. I used it to remove grout and then a chisel to either break up the tile or pop it out in one piece. I haven't tried cutting thru the glazing on the tile, If it is a new blade and doesn't cut into the glazing quickly (within a minute), then I wouldn't use it any further to cut through the glaze. Give it a try.

I wouldn't attempt to use this blade to cut porcelain tile. First of all it isn't heavy enough and would wear out very quickly. I also suspect it would cause chipping of the tile edge making it unattractive. The primary tool to cut porcelain tile is a wet diamond blade in a special tool setup. Usually rentable.

I would not recommend this for tile. To get a clean cut on tile you need to use a wet saw. for a diy job there are alot of cheap wet saws on the market or just buy a cheap die grinder and use a dry cut masonry blade on it. use the right tool for the right job

It barely cuts round. Doubt it will cut square&#128513; you are better off using wet saw for tile.

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.

absolutely NO. the saw chips small tile. I had to get a wet saw to do my tile work

Sorry, I don't know. I used mine to cut ceramic tiles, slate stone and glass tiles. The only ones it had trouble on were the glass tiles. Otherwise, it cut the ceramic and slate tiles very easily.

No, you need a wet cutter bit to do that, They are costly so you may want to check out the tile supply outlets or a rental yard.

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?

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.

Rich, I cut 12 inch tiles on this great saw. But I had to mark the tiles with a pencil and take the guard off. You should be able to do the same. don't rush your cut because the saw will slow down on you. I did my kitchen floor and it turned out great! I had to wear a full face shield and took a garbage bag and cut holes it in for my head & arms because the saw really throws allot of water. I still would use the saw though. Take your time on the cuts and you will be fine.

Yes, it does. In general it is OK for ceramic tile, but I found it did not make absolutely clean cuts with porcelain tile. One other thing to watch out for is that the higher quality blade I bought at Lowes was a different thickness than the supplied blade, which caused problems.

It might be able to cut the entire thickness but it could 'score' the surface enough deep enough you could then snap the tile over a straightedge

Well I'm a tile installer and use this saw to cut glass tile frequently. I would suggest that you have a high quality diamond blade though. This saw is capable of cutting something as wide as a wine bottle. It is a awesome saw

No this blade is intended to cut glass. We used it to cut glass tile mixed with slate. It worked well for that purpose. You should rent a concrete cutter for your purpose.

With a carbide grout blade you can cut tile . It is very hard on the blade however.
