how many RPM does the Versa Saw turn? will this cut floor tile ?

There is a masonry blade included that could probably notch tile but probably wouldn't get too many cuts out of it...are you referring to tile already bonded to a substrate?

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.

This saw can be used with about any size tile...you simply take the guide off and saw it free-hand. The limiting factor is how large a piece of tile can you hold steady and cut. Great little saw.

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

No, the Moto-saw is strictly for cutting wood, plastics,etc. The original Dremel tool has an accessory blade for removing tile grout.

This is a mini circular saw not a dremel tool. I do not know the RPM but I bet it is only in the 3k range.. Pete

I wouldn't think so. Laminate flooring is a softer material, and this cutter is intended for cutting brittle materials. This tool works by applying stress to the cutting line with the carbide wheel, then bending to finish the cutting process. I would imagine Laminate would need a sharp blade, or if you have an oscillating powertool, it works wonder for most material...except tiles.. :)

Rich, I cut 12 inch tiles on this great saw. But I had to mark the tiles with a pencil and take the guard off. You should be able to do the same. don't rush your cut because the saw will slow down on you. I did my kitchen floor and it turned out great! I had to wear a full face shield and took a garbage bag and cut holes it in for my head & arms because the saw really throws allot of water. I still would use the saw though. Take your time on the cuts and you will be fine.

I purchased this saw thinking it will do what you are asking. The answer is "very disappointed in its performance and didn't meet my expectations". You're better off with Rockwell VersaCut circular saw to replace the disappointing RotoZip. I later bought the VersCut and very satisfied. It has all the features and performance you need. Right now the Rockwell is selling for $103 on Amazon. I'm happy with the VersaCut and worth the money spent. Disregard purchasing the RotoZip saw. Waste of money.

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

Another thing to remember is that it "snaps" the material, when the blade presses down. There is no sawing motion as such, just simple pressure force on the blade. Be sure to draw your cut lines clearly so you can see them, and perhaps even pre-cut using a straight edge and carpet knife or other tool proper to the material. It works wonders, and if someone is putting in flooring it is a dream to use. It is easiest to use by "standing" on the material, but it will also work cutting board style as well on a table.

No, unless you are using it on one of the "dry cut" slower turning miter saws. A regular miter saw spins at 3,200 - 3,800 RPM. A "dry cut" metal saw turns at 1,300 RPM. I believe this blade is rated at 2,000 RPM maximum. Another consideration is that there is no proper way to clamp your metal in place to cut. A "dry cut" saw has a nice sturdy vice to aid in clamping. A regular miter saw does not provide the needed clamping force to resist movement of the stock being cut. Once bad move cutting can cause damage to the stock, the saw fence, arbor shaft and injury to you in a worst case scenario. Be safe!

I'm traveling now and do not have access to the package instructions, but I expect it would do fine with concrete. I used in for multiple holes in porcelain tile which in my experience is much more difficult to drill than concrete. I would NOT think it's a good idea in a rotary hammer. I used it on a slow to medium speed with plenty of water and it worked great. I expect a rotary hammer would be detrimental to it's longevity. I would call Dewalt's customer service for their take on it. 800- 433-9258.

Along with what DA says. The versacut is a plunge saw. I got it to make holes in existing floors for duck work. It excelled at this. Circular saw was just to big to get close enough to the wall. The versacut does not cut angles this one does. The versacut has a smaller blade with a smaller arbor that is difficult to find blades for that are not OEM. If I had it to do over I would not get the versacut and get this saw instead. I think this saw would have cut the holes just fine for the duck work and I would have a more versatile saw now to use.

Hi Grace, I am a professional tile setter. Are you meaning Travertine or Talavera? Either way, a small wet saw or a small grinder with a dry cut blade will cut those products. This cutter is for large format tile over 18". Hope this helps. Contact me if you have more questions i would steer you in the right direction. Thanks, Matt

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

That is a great question. Unfortunately I have no idea. All I know is that I love mine! It works way better than I'd expected. Perfect for wood and ceramic tile floors.

It will do it depending how much time you're willing to put into it. My rotary hammer, a smaller version (1 1/8"?), hardly put a dent on a very old, hardened 6-8" slab. Ended up using my jack hammer. Sometimes a sledge hammer brakes concrete slabs (4") even faster than the jack hammer - surprise!
