Does this cutter cut small natural stone tiles like marble (subway)?

I would ask the supplier if this type of tile is suitable for working with a snap style tile cutter. If so, then I would think the QEP 10552 would be ideal. I have used it to cut small pieces of ceramic & porcelain tile with no problem.

This cutter worked excellent for me. We used it to cut small ceramic tiles. These were like subway tiles but smaller. About half the size. I am not sure if it works on marble though.

I bought it to cut granite slabs and small rock cores, so yes it does quite well for rocks.

There is a masonry blade included that could probably notch tile but probably wouldn't get too many cuts out of it...are you referring to tile already bonded to a substrate?

Not sure which composites you are asking about but I have used mine to cut "Corian" style material. The ability to cut materials other than tile/ stone will be determined more by your particular blade selection than any other factors.

I have used my QEP cutter while working with 13 x 13 porcelain tile and it made a clean break every time. Even when cutting on an angle, it snaps the tile without a problem

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.

This blade will cut aggressively bricks, concrete blocks, stones, paver tales, and so on, but not ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, glass, etc. If you try to cut these kind of tiles with it the edges will chip and will make a very rough cut.

I used it to cut ceramic tiles on a bathroom remodel project. I use a set of small clamps to hold tile. Don't try to cut with saw, holding item with fingers!!!!!

I believe so. I bought for my son who is using it for cutting sandstone blocks. He is not looking for it to look classy, he owns a farm and these peices will go along his circle drive. I would not use on tile you are using for decorative floors.

Most definitely. We are using it to cut granite. And it cuts like butter. We just put duct tape to keep it from chipping. This is one of the best purchases we have made. We even cut 1 inch marble pieces

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

It barely cuts round. Doubt it will cut square� you are better off using wet saw for tile.

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.

I am not sure, my first thought would be no. It is a carbide cutter just able to score tile slightly. Use a regular razor knife cutter, not a box cutter, that would be better. Change the blade often. Best wishes.

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

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.

The rock varies from less than a quarter of an inch to no more than a half inch (which is a stretch). It is easy to cut and if you do not want to use grout, this is perfect.
