is this good for cutting tiles?

I used this for cutting concrete pavers. I'm not an expert, but i would think it might be a little overkill for cutting tiles, assuming you are referring to ceramic tiles. Probably good for stone tiles.

Yes, I used it to cut glass mosaic tile. For really finer cuts, you may want to consider a wet saw with a glass cutting blade on it but if you're not super fussy, this will work just fine.

I doubt it. This is a great tool, but the bits break if you just move at the wrong angle in sheet rock. I'd be surprised if it could handle tile. Maybe there is a special bit you can buy for it?

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.

Oh yeah absolutely, I used it to cut out pieces of plaster wall and ended up with nice clean lines (LOTS of dust, so you need ventilation and mask). I assume the tile "may" give you a bit more resistance? (depending on the type of tile, maybe not), but also probably less dust. I did the plaster wall dry, but could have used the water attachment if I wasn't too concerned about getting the surrounding area wet. If water is an issue you can probably use it dry like I did if you're not too worried about the blade wearing out quickly, or else use the water on a very low flow. I've used this to cut plaster (dry) and granite (wet), in both cases it cut like butter. Very pleased with this saw.

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.

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

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 had purchased for cutting granite. It does a good job for that. I haven't cut tile with it, but compared to granite , I'm sure it would cut very well.

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.

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.

We were able to cut 1/2 x 1/2 glass mosaic tile pieces easily. Be aware - they actually break the glass so the result is not a perfect slice.

I've done just about everything with this tool but cut a piece of tile out. I have laid a lot of ceramic tile and I would probably not suggest using the tool to do a plunge cut into ceramic tile. I love this tool, but I suggest you get yourself a ceramic tile drill bit and drill a hole and then use a Dremel with a tile bit. It has the high speed you need. The Rockwell has amazing power, but I don't see the grout removal tool being able to plunge cut the tile accurately.

Yes but you may want to use a smaller blade if you and a clamp for the tile

I wouldn't think so. Laminate flooring is a softer material, and this cutter is intended for cutting brittle materials. This tool works by applying stress to the cutting line with the carbide wheel, then bending to finish the cutting process. I would imagine Laminate would need a sharp blade, or if you have an oscillating powertool, it works wonder for most material...except tiles.. :)

It cut ceramic tile and milk quartz so far.... have not tried marble on it. Quite possibly will though.

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.
