My original set of blades had a blade designed to cut ceramic tile, does this set have such a blade? If not, where can I get one?

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

Yes it does. I did 2 backsplashes and and about 200 sq ft of floor tile with the included blade.

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.

Grace,T.tiles are ceramic tile vs. porcelain.purchase to allow for some breakage. The key to any hand tile cutter is a sharp clean blade and an even consistent scribe line as you drag across the surface. This unit has an easy built in method to aid in the break. One note, it will be tricky(on any manual cutter)to slice thin sections/edges off. If this is needed, a motorized tile cutting system may be needed.

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

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.

Yes, the blade is two parts. One ceramic, one stainless steel. . I cut three of my large dogs today and its just like butter. . Make sure to tie a string to your wrist in case you drop it because the ceramic is vulnerable to being dropped

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

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 wouldn't attempt to use this blade to cut porcelain tile. First of all it isn't heavy enough and would wear out very quickly. I also suspect it would cause chipping of the tile edge making it unattractive. The primary tool to cut porcelain tile is a wet diamond blade in a special tool setup. Usually rentable.

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

You can't use a wood blade you need to use a different type of saw this saw only made to cut tile it is a wet tile saw there are some tiles they make that look like wood

No this blade is intended to cut glass. We used it to cut glass tile mixed with slate. It worked well for that purpose. You should rent a concrete cutter for your purpose.

I do not know...I did look on the internet but did not see anyone offering a replacement blade. I guess if mine wears out I will purchase a new one.

Sorry, I have looked and looked and cannot find someone who offers a replacement blade. I saw one for $900 but that is 4 times the cost of the machine. Someone said you may sharpen the blade yourself. Lay it on a flat surface and use a very fine sand paper wrapped around a solid block of wood. Be very careful with the sanding strokes and you will be able to achieve a sharp cutting edge. I haven't tried that myself but I intend to.

It comes with a diamond blade. It cuts 3/8" thick marble tile with no problem. Marble is around 3-4 of 10 on the hardness scale. Volcanic glass is around 5 of 10. I predict it will cut glass easily, though how cleanly it cuts is a matter of technique. Also, you will have to remove the splash/blade guard to cut a bottle (messy!), and you will have to roll the bottle more or less freehand through the blade. If you are comfortable with this, then you can probably make this saw cut bottles.
