I do craft So I wonder if this tile cutter can cut small pieces like Counch Shells to make jewelry pieces?

This tile cutter is designed to cut flat tiles. Aren't couch shells round and uneven? what you need is a saw or dummel type of tool. I don't think tile cutter will server you purpose.

I didn't have any luck cutting pieces smaller than one inch, but I was working with 18 inch tiles.

I don't think it would do well for small irregular items. Great for straight flat cuts.

yes, but the fact that it has a blade made for high speed cutting, it will melt the tile at the edge and turn it into a molten disaster. use a straight edge and a sharp box cutter with a point to cut the tile. you can later trim the cut with a(the same) knife if you need to adjust for things like moldings or register edges

I bought this to cut tile with and thought it was straight one piece but has a ridge and thats a bummer-you need a tile blade thats for tile not this blade with the ridge--my brother said it was very cheap for the diamonds are very few. hope this helps-maybe buy new blade and thewn sell it. steamer

Hi, I have this blade and have used it for making jewelry without an issue. You may burn through them quickly though, depending on how often you use it.

It will but not easily. I purchasing for the same thing and because the tiles were very small I frequently cut my fingers. Wasn't long before I went out and bought a wet tile saw which is what I should have done in the first place. This cutter is best used for solid one-piece tiles.

I use it to trim, grind and cut off ceramic glaze from pottery. I would say, yes it can.

No. This is just for wood/laminate flooring purposes. I suppose if you find a tile blade that would fit the saw it would work for tile u to a certain thickness. As it is boxed it will not cut tile.

yes. the one they sell on line only works on smooth tile. You can make one with a 1 x 6" - 18" long board. Pick the size cutter you want to use, make a hole that size in the board first with a hole saw. Tile on flat surface, hole in the board on the tile, standing on board with both feet, then using water and a slow speed on your drill, apply water every 30 seconds. It will give you a very clean cut.

I used it to repair a broken small wooden sculpture and it worked perfect for that. I haven't tried it for jewelry making, but imagine it should work.

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

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 not used it to cut tile, but it is a nice handy tool to have around, you will not regret buying it.

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

Hello Diane, Yes, this tool would be great for the job you described. It even comes with a tile cutting blade. Hope that helps!

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.

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.
