Noob here. For a bathroom remodel can the saw in this kit be used to cut tile (ceramic/stone)? Or is a masonry or tile saw req.

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

Yes it can but a tile saw would give you easier and better cuts. It will cut any kind of stone,ceramic or porcelain

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

You can do it. 1st mark the tile with a pencil and cut the tile till it hits the saw, 2nd turn the tile around and cut from the other side. Just be sure you stay on the mark or when you get to the middle the cut will be off. Also depending on the size of the tile it may have to hang over the saw tray at the back. Watch your blade depth it may not cut all the way though when the tile is hanging over the tray and you may have to cut twice to get it to work.

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.

This product is a wet saw for cutting tiles. It can be used to cut stone/pavers, but that is not its primary design. If you are intending to cut an entire wall's worth of stone, I would look to a more industrial product. Of course it also depends on the hardness of the stone in question.

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 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.

It would cut it but holding a small stone to cut it would be hazardous to your hands and very messy. You should by a cutter that has a holding fixture. My opinion. I like the saw for tile.

It comes with a Dianond blade for cutting ceramic tile. I use the drop in method and try torning the tileover 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 printedanywhere I can see it. The rpm you want.I love it. Sure made short work of Hardi siding.

Caleb... i haven't opened the box yet, so i can't speak from experience on this saw. The product description says it will cut stone or ceramic material up to 1-3/8-Inch deep.

I would not recommend this for tile. To get a clean cut on tile you need to use a wet saw. for a diy job there are alot of cheap wet saws on the market or just buy a cheap die grinder and use a dry cut masonry blade on it. use the right tool for the right job

I used this for cutting concrete pavers. I'm not an expert, but i would think it might be a little overkill for cutting tiles, assuming you are referring to ceramic tiles. Probably good for stone tiles.

I bought mine to replace 16 " tile on aterrace. It made every cut necessary to do the job. Great saw for the price.

It is limited because the tile will hit the frame of the saw on the left. I just did a job with 6x24 tiles on the diagonal and I had to be quite creative to make all my cuts around the floor vents. It does help that you can make plunge cuts similar to a miter saw. Overall this is a very nice saw. But may not be the right saw for large format tiles.

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.

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
