Will this tool cut tile where a circular saw won't get into. I need to cut out some thresholds and i need to finish the cuts in a straight line. Only for a few inches I guess a heavy straight edge could help keep the line. Will this tool make plunge cuts.

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.

any saw of this sort is hard to get perfectly straight cuts the blade you use will depend on how chipfree the cut will be altho it comes with a plastic plate that mounts close to the blade to help eliminate chips

Not only will it cut a 2x4 in half, but it can cut an end off of one, or cut one into smaller than 1/2 pieces. :-) There are, however, other types of saws better for that kind of cutting. A circular saw is much faster, more likely to cut straight, more efficient, and (in my experience) probably more reliable.

yes however I like to use this blade for more intricate cuts, like around the toilet drain. I chose a cheap wet saw for most of my straight cuts. Well worth the money. If you do use the dremel, it's best to wet the tile, go slowly and you should be happy with the results.

Yes the saw does plunge cuts. It cuts 24" well. I lay thousands of tiles a year and I don't know why I didn't buy this saw sooner.

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.

No. This is just for wood/laminate flooring purposes. I suppose if you find a tile blade that would fit the saw it would work for tile u to a certain thickness. As it is boxed it will not cut tile.

If you properly score the tile, as evidenced by a ripping sound as you draw the score over the tile, all you need to do is push down on the handle, which puts pressure on the two sides of the score along the raised edge that is under the tile. As long as you keep it in place, it is pretty straightforward. I even used it to cut tiny corner pieces with no problem.

Don't think it will cut tile however this tool I've used for everything wooden! It is excellent tool for any fine detail trim work!

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

I never cut glass, which has a hardness of 5, with this hole saw. However, I have used it to cut several holes in Class 5 porcelain tile (hardness of 7), which is less than the hardness of 10 for diamond. The tile was about 5/16" thick. The tool cuts a clean hole. You must keep the cutting edge flooded with water.

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

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.

There is a roller guide the blade travels through to help keep it straight. No problems with shorter cuts but if you rip a long piece it doesn't work as well. A sharp blade and edge guide helps. This saw is better than any I had before. It does keep a 90 degree angle and doesn't drift due to the blade bending.

As with any circular saw plunge cuts are difficult. You have to raise the guard, get a little forward motion, and cut slowly with the blade at full speed to avoid the kickback. This worked fairly well on my hardwood flooring. I then used a spiral saw to trim behind the cut.

I used this on tile with an angle grinder for a small number of detail cuts. It cuts through tile very well. I use it on pavers as well. Haven't used this blade in a wet saw though. Good blade for my use.
