will this tool cut porcelain tile

Yes with the right blade attached. I have used mine to cut tile and everything else on my old CJ7. Great tool and you will not be disappointed.

I used many different makes and models of 4 1/2" angle grinders in my years with the gas company and this is by far the best I have ever used. I bought it to cut paving brick with a diamond blade and it cut through those like a hot knife through butter. Porcelain tile should be no problem with the right blade.

Am just an occasional user so have never tried to cut porcelain but am very happy with this grinder. The 10 amp is really powerful. Good luck.

It should be fine. Take your time cutting though, let the blade do the work. I used it to cut 2x3 glass tiles, it did wonderful. Bear in mind, the smaller the tile the harder to hold in place while cutting.

Absolutely. The minimum is probably around 1 inch. With cuts this small it is critical that the tile is secure against the front rail so that the cutter doesn't wonder. Make just 1 nice medium pressure score then snap. Make sure you maintain a constant pressure as you score the tile from front to back. Also make sure you have a few (then recommended number is about 15%) extra tiles because you WILL lose a few. I used this cutter when redoing my entire bathroom with porcelain tiles which are much harder than ceramic tiles and had no problems.

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 never cut glass, which has a hardness of 5, with this hole saw. However, I have used it to cut several holes in Class 5 porcelain tile (hardness of 7), which is less than the hardness of 10 for diamond. The tile was about 5/16" thick. The tool cuts a clean hole. You must keep the cutting edge flooded with water.

I bought it to cut ceramic tile which is much harder than brick. i have cur some slate with it, too. Although I have not tried it on brick I can't imagine you'd have any problem other than possible clearance (thickness) issues.

No, sorry to say this tool will not do what your looking to do with it. This tool is wonderful for removing cermaic tile from substrates. A carbide head on a buffer would do a better job but still may not remove all the residue.

Don't know as do not use it on my wood floors. Does a decent job on porcelain tile.

I used it on porcelain tile and it worked perfectly. I had asked the same question before I bought the product.

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.

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.

I replaced my bathroom floor with ceramic tile and used the blade that came with the kit. It cut it like butter. Porcelain is harder than ceramic, but I expect it would cut it just fine.

it will work with any Dremel tool, but you need the quick disconnect shaft. it has a spring loaded holder, that locks into the hole cut out shape of the center of the disk. The shaft works with many different disks. It's a good investment. They last a long time. These disks last a long time too. I was cutting 1/2 inch thick grout, and it showed no wear after cutting thru 30 inches.It will cut thru tile easily. if you can keep a little water on the cut, it will last much longer, and cut much better.

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

It works with Ceramic Tiles. I assume it will work with porcelain. Make sure you select the correct color option. I was able to make a very good repair ti the chip but the color match was a little off. All in all I am happy with the result because the repair is very strong.

I used it on porcelain a lot. You just have to be easy so you don't break the tile.
