Can this tool be used to cut out a plastic shower stall or does it have to be used for just tile and wood

I have not needed to use mine on plastic but my daughter has used hers that way.

sure you can cut it but be sure to use a mask as the small plastic particles or fiberglass if it really old could cause you a problem

I would think so ....I haven't tired that but it cuts pretty much everything ive used it for

The abrasive blade will sacrifice ( use up ) itself and will cut anything. It is the expensive ($24 ) consumable part of the system.I save the tool for cuts in applications where no other tool will fit.

I don't see why not. It cuts everything else. It does not have "teeth" on the saw blades so it wouldn't rip the plastic. I think it would work fine for this application but I have never tried it.

This tool is basically a portable band saw used to easily cut metal. I suppose you could cut wood but it would be like cutting wood with a hacksaw. Why would you want to do it when other tools like a power saw, sawzall, or jigsaw would do a more efficient job. Thanks Ray Hippele

The unit comes with two blades, one for wood & one for metal. The metal blade should do the job.

No this for cutting metal only tile saws use diamond blades and require coolant This is a dry cutting system

If you plan to regrout the bath tiles you may want to purchase the grout remover attachment, and really not much more.The purpose of this tool is specific and the most used attachments are included (the half circle and the flat cutoff attachments).Hope this helps

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

The Bosch tool cut trough grout just as shown on the ad video making it possible to remove most tiles without breaking. I purchased a different brand cutting disk that worked/fit the Bosch tool without an adapter at Lowes.

Saw comes with a wood cutting blade, and not set up for water. I wouldn't want to try it. Go for a wet saw for any stone tile job. A manual score , or a hand grinder with a diamond bit will do fine on ceramic.

Yes, I used it today on Sheetrock and cutting a hole in a Fiberglas shower works great!Nice clean cut. I have also used it to cut slot in 2*4.

You need to purchase a chop saw if you want to cut metal. This saw is only suitable for wood.

First of all it is a tile cutter. You score it and then snap in two pieces. A metal angle comes with the tile cutter and you can brace your tile in any position to cut. I purchased this for a small project for my bathroom. It worked great and is a nice heavy duty item. I always like to buy quality tools. I looked at several others and this one was by far built better.

This will cut tile, if you use a diamond saw blade, but you are right in considering the wet tile saw, that's what I used in Phoenix. If you want to use it for more than one type of cutting, than this is the tool for you, but if you're just going to cut tile with it, than get a wet saw... Stephen

What you need is a demolition hammer for breaking up tile. This multi tool is a precision tool designed for fine cuts in awkward places. It is also a nice detail sander for awkward places. I do use it for sawing out grout joints for renewing the grout. I used to do it with a hand saw but this is easy to control and easier on me. The blade attached to this tool moves side to side a small amount. It is a very fast movement and cuts pretty quickly. it is very handy for cutting door jams when installing laminate flooring, marble bathroom door sills, etc. It can be used to plunge cut holes in drywall, wood or other similar materials. You can get a scraper blade that they advertise for vinyl tile removal, but that is pretty slow. I can do a better job with a garden spade. A quick check of the internet on ceramic tile removal will give you a better idea on what you need. This tool isn't it.

It depends on the gauge (thickness) of the metal you are wanting to cut, but the blade included is meant for cutting through wood, metal, and plastic.

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

As long as the siding was relatively flat and there was not framing behind that you also needed to cut through. Depth of cut is less than a standard 2X4. Also you might need to purchase a metal blade so that your cut out would be less jagged. Mine came with two blades. A diamond blade for tile work and a multi-purpose blade.
