Will I be able to use this to cut 18" X 18" tiles? I'm redoing 2 smaller bathrooms and looking for an option other than renting.

Yes with out a problem. You will just need to remove the guide bar and maybe the guard. Tape and mark your tiles, cut half then turn it around and cut the other half go slow. Have a large sponge and a bucket full of water, so you can use the sponge to fill the tray after each cut or use a water hose with a small amount of water coming out in the tray. Use a rain coat and goggles.

I think the motor can handle that size going slow, it didnt seam to bog down much on 12in. But I would warn you to stays clear of this saw the quality was horrible, I sent it back.

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

As long as they are not diagnonal cuts. That being said, this saw works best on tiles in the 12" to 13" range.

Yes, you should be able to cut an 18" x 18" tile. The blade is thicker than the holder for the guard and the table of the saw is clear of any fixed parts.

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!!!!!

It will work. The rip depth will come down by half an inch. If you want to use it for cutting 18 mm boards then there will be no problem. Any way I will set my 5 1/2" trim saw on the rip cut jig and try it out. I can let you know in a day.

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

yes - but it can not cut 24" tile straight through. I returned it because of that and bought one that could cut 24" tiles.

I don't recommend cutting this mat. A brick and mortar store like OD/OM sells a 17" width.

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.

This type of tile cutter can score and "break" glass tile in a straight line which is pretty much the way it works with any type tile, the problem is if you are trying to cut a piece smaller than like 1/2" it doesn't work to well this is where you might need a blade type tile saw. For me I found that it worked ok for smaller jobs but in some cases it just won't give the provisional looking results you may want

do you mean ceramic tile? I would not. you would need to buy a special wheel and it would be hard to hold small pieces safely . Better to rent a wet saw from a tool rental for a few hours and make sure you don't get cut. I always try to think safety first. Thye wet blades does not chip the edges of the tile and has a guide so you can use a push stick and not your fingers.

I bought this tile cutter mainly because we were installing a 24inch tile in diagonal and it worked great, 18inch should be a breeze

With a carbide grout blade you can cut tile . It is very hard on the blade however.

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.

Laurie, I haven't used it for that purpose, yet, but I think it would be good. Maybe not ideal because it is only 24 inches wide. I have found that if I make sure the legs are locked, it is very sturdy and not at all wobbly. I would like the highest setting for cutting out patterns.

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.

absolutely NO. the saw chips small tile. I had to get a wet saw to do my tile work

I wouldn't use this to rip 4", you'll have a 50/50 chance of it coming out right, but that goes for any tile breaker. It's a very nice piece though.

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.
