I need a saw that can cut porcelain pieces from figurines, for ex, I want to cut handles off tea cups and wings from angels. Will this do that?

I believe it will. I love this machine for my stained glass, however, the Taurus might be better for what you want to cut.

I would say yes. I purchased for cutting stone/lapidary work. The only concern I would evaluate is the height of the blade. Will the height of the blade guide allow you to do what you wish. In addition to harder rocks I have also cut glass tile. So like I mentioned, cutting power probably not an issue, height of blade maybe.

yes, just have to be careful. It has been quite handy. I have successfully cut molding around a window. I also trimmed door molding to open up for a new floor board. Just fine. the tiny vibrations are intense, but not too violant like a recip saw!! With a steady hand, it is quite possible. I would not use thie for large jobs.

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.

I have heard you can use an electric carving knife for a clean cut.Good luck!

I've used this tile cutter for glass and ceramic tile. A porcelain tile project is next, and i have absolutely no concerns; I'm certain that it'll work just fine. This, in fact, is the tile cutter that the professional tile installer that put on the time installation seminar at our local Home Depot uses on all of his projects.

Yes, any spiral saw can cut those things really.....you just need the right BITS, but this saw definitely has the power.

I guess it would depend on the thickness of the metal that you are cutting and the quality of the blade. So far I have no complaints about the saw. I have used it on metal (1/4 thick) but mostly wood items. I suggest that you get a spare battery with it.

Yes, just let the Razor saw do the work. You can use it to open doors, hoods, chop tops, on any plastic models. the uses don't stop there. I have used it to repair the Nut on a guitar, cutting foam parts for RC Models. The uses are countless. I've even used it to cut trim pieces for my truck.

I would think a circular saw would cut through them easily, they are a little too thick to use an untility knife or hacksaw without it taking forever, though possible in a pinch

Yes, I've cut glass with this saw. I'm having some problems adjusting the water flow so it will hit the blade on my saw, hopefully I can get that worked out, it will do a better job then. You need a diamond blade without teeth to cut glass.

My thoughts is, the teeth on the saw will grab the plastic like material and shatter or split the plastic. I've cut plasiglass with a controlled sabre saw and if you're not carful, you can split or crack the material. Maybe go as slow as possible cutting it ...if can test..do that first.

It is designed for hard porcelain/ceramic tiles. It doesn't really "cut" the tile. It scores the tile (through the glaze) - along which the tile is "snapped" or cleanly broken. Hope this helps.

It would take a hack saw to cut off the handles, but it would work good after you got rid of the handles. That is a very good idea.

No dado, but i will add that Infinity Tools does sell a 1/4 inch kerf blade that would show promise if you already have this saw and want additional capabilities. If you have a small shop like I do, I can get a really strait cut with this little saw. I use router and router table for dado cuts.

I don't have any experience with cutting vinyl siding with this saw, but I would say, after cutting wood with it (one handed, by the way), it should do the job. I can't say what kind of edge it would leave, but I think it would be better than that of a regular circular saw, as the "teeth" are actually adhered silicate(?) particles. I see no problem with one-handed operation, but it it is not quite as easy as with a regular hand saw. The saw is essentially a large Dremel tool. Note well - use the vacuum attachment if possible or work in a open space, as this saw really produces dust. Hope I have helped with your decision. I would buy this saw again. For the reconditioned price, it's a steal.

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.

Don't know. We have no trouble at with cutting. Works very well, very comfortable handles. Magnet lid pickup doesn't work very well.
