is there a better blade for ceramic tile then the 3"540 dremel

I bought mine to cut patio bricks. I went through a blade in less than a minute. I went to Home Depot, Lowes and ONLINE.There are no alternatives to the dremel blades because of their unique diameter.

the dremel 540 3" worked well for us when we retiled our kitchen. The only other choice would have been to rent a wet saw at much greater expense.

Try the mastermind 800346 3" diamond grit circular saw blade which also fits the dremel

do you mean ceramic tile? I would not. you would need to buy a special wheel and it would be hard to hold small pieces safely . Better to rent a wet saw from a tool rental for a few hours and make sure you don't get cut. I always try to think safety first. Thye wet blades does not chip the edges of the tile and has a guide so you can use a push stick and not your fingers.

Sorry, I don't know. I used mine to cut ceramic tiles, slate stone and glass tiles. The only ones it had trouble on were the glass tiles. Otherwise, it cut the ceramic and slate tiles very easily.

It comes with a Dianond blade for cutting ceramic tile. I use the drop in method and try torning the tile over and cut on the back side. But Im thinking of no chip out on the front. Try the front too. See how that turns out. It is out in my tool house tonight. Ill look at it tomorrow and see what's printed anywhere I can see it. The rpm you want. I love it. Sure made short work of Hardi siding.

I cut ceramic tile with this all the time But only small cuts or small jobs. never have used it do do a whole job....wet saw is much better.

not sure what the diamond blade is for , but you would be better off using a saw-zal for cutting thick metal, i would worry about ruining the saw motor by overloading it cutting thick metal.i would assume the diamond blade is for tile or maybe thin metal.

Probably about the same as a regular razor blade. The advantage of the ceramic blade is that it doesn't wear out; in other respects it behaves almost exactly like steel.

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.

No....it's designed for ceramic or porcelain. Wet saw with diamond blade for glass is best for glass tiles.

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.

I haven't used the carbide/diamond/ whatever the masonary blade is yet, but I would think it would cut ok on that. I've plunge cut drywall, 3/4 plywood and 2 x 4's with the steel toothed blades. I don't think you'll get a clean cut line on tile like a diamond blade wet saw, but you should be able to cut very close to the wall.

I goofed up....sorry. What I should have asked is, where do I get a diamond blade of 5 1/2 " or ( slightly) smaller for cutting tile or stone that has a a 10 MM arbor ?Thanks in advance

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

The blade is a wood cutting blade. The VersaCut and the proper blade is better suited for tile cutting.

I'm glad I received your question pertaining to both the dremel and the Rockwell. I was always dissapointed with the performance of the Dremel and the poor quality of the accessories. It lacked the power I needed and overheated to the extreme that I couldn't touch it after 10 minutes of using it. Then I bought my Rockwell. After numerous projects, it's still going strong.

Best thing is to call Makita. My guess is the smaller diameter blade and slower RPM is better for metal. The smaller blade reduces the surface speed of the tooth.
