Does this come with a decent blade that can cut porcelain tile

It was fine for the porcelain i did. I have since bought couple other just to have for other tile.

No, you need to buy one. You'll only get a few cuts out of the one they give you. One other thing is I never got the stand which was supposed to be included. Amazon was no help at all.

Most definitely. We are using it to cut granite. And it cuts like butter. We just put duct tape to keep it from chipping. This is one of the best purchases we have made. We even cut 1 inch marble pieces

Yes. We cut alot of tile with the original blade with no problem. It worked great!

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.

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.

Well I'm a tile installer and use this saw to cut glass tile frequently. I would suggest that you have a high quality diamond blade though. This saw is capable of cutting something as wide as a wine bottle. It is a awesome saw

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

I bought this to cut tile with and thought it was straight one piece but has a ridge and thats a bummer-you need a tile blade thats for tile not this blade with the ridge--my brother said it was very cheap for the diamonds are very few. hope this helps-maybe buy new blade and thewn sell it. steamer

I used it to cut ceramic tiles on a bathroom remodel project. I use a set of small clamps to hold tile. Don't try to cut with saw, holding item with fingers!!!!!

I just finished a project that had stone pieces mixed with some glass tiles. The saw did fine for cuts across both types of tiles.

The blade seems to be a wave-set hacksaw type edge, presumably with teeth made of high carbon or "high speed" steel. I've learned through costly experience that even if the teeth are the much harder material called tungsten carbide (highly unlikely here), they will be destroyed almost instantly by even the softer grades of ceramic tile.The best reliable way to saw ceramic tile is with a diamond grit blade or bur. Diamond blades are readily available at about $30 to fit common inexpensive 4-1/2 inch high speed angle grinders. Small diamond-grit burs to fit Dremel or RotoZip type tools are far less expensive and allow finer control of the cut but they cut much slower and don't last nearly as long. Whatever you do, be SURE to protect your lungs from the tile dust to minimize chances of acquiring the deadly disease called silicosis.

I have not used it to cut tile, but it is a nice handy tool to have around, you will not regret buying it.

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

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.

Chicago Electric is the brand name of this tile saw. Nice tile saw I've had it about six months now cuts well table glides well I've cut probably 75+ tiles with it. The downsides I can think of is that the tile saw blade and stand are not included. Both are needed.

It is designed for hard porcelain/ceramic tiles. It doesn't really "cut" the tile. It scores the tile (through the glaze) - along which the tile is "snapped" or cleanly broken. Hope this helps.

I have used this cut-off tool/grinder to cut tile. You will need to buy a tile blade. It's not the best for making long straight cut but it gets the job done. I found it to be most useful for making irregular cuts.

No it does not, just put in tile blade in search on amazon to find right one

I doubt that. I have cut the glass tile but it is very tough. The edge of the glass tile was very easy to get damaged and if you want a clean cut you need to look for something else.
