No, you need a wet cutter bit to do that, They are costly so you may want to check out the tile supply outlets or a rental yard.

I'd think so. Worked great on ceramic tile. If you think one can might be cutting it close definitely get two cans. It seems to go quick, but I sprayed it on pretty thick. Good luck.

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

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.

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

yes, but the fact that it has a blade made for high speed cutting, it will melt the tile at the edge and turn it into a molten disaster. use a straight edge and a sharp box cutter with a point to cut the tile. you can later trim the cut with a(the same) knife if you need to adjust for things like moldings or register edges

Don't think you can do plunge cuts with it. I just cut large tiles with straight cuts.

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.

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, 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.

No this blade is intended to cut glass. We used it to cut glass tile mixed with slate. It worked well for that purpose. You should rent a concrete cutter for your purpose.

I would not recommend it. You most definitely need a masonry saw for cutting tile.

Yes it can be cut. However, I have seen others that are already cut for a shower.

I use it to drill porcelain plates. I'm not sure if it will work for the tile but I don't see why not. The drill bit it self is excellent!

I haven't tried that, but I doubt it, since this scores ceramic tiles... It doesn't really cut through them.Vinyl tiles you be better off using a sharp Stanley knife

I wouldn't chance it unless you're an experience cutter. Your diagonal is going to be longer than the tools capability. If more than a few pieces I'd rent or invest in a wet saw for tile. This is a wonderful tool for a small job but I would never use this for more than a small bath or kitchen.
