Will it cut 8" laminate flooring at 90 degrees?

Hi Tom, I think you may have difficulty getting a clean cut since the blade diameter is 1/2" smaller than the surface you're cutting. You'd either end up hand-trimming the remainder or flipping and cutting twice. You may want to look at a sliding compound miter saw or radial arm saw for pieces bigger than 7"

Yes it will. The clamp can swing a perfect 90 degrees both ways with a positive stop.

The blade pivots to 90 degrees. My experience is that to cut stuff that is high off the ground it is best to use a tall step ladder and keep the blade at a lesser angle.

I have other brands and sizes of miter saws that I use for general carpentry work. I purchased this Bosch 8.5 in. saw because in my opinion itis the Cadillac of miter saws. It has a range of cutting 12 in. wide boards at 90 degrees and 8 in. boards at 45 degrees. Very reasonably pricedfor what it will do. Has carrying handle and is very portable. I don't think you can go wrong with this saw. I have been very pleased with it.

It should, as long as you don't set the blades too low; you can adjust the height you're cutting at.

I'm assuming you are talking about ceramic or porcelain tiles if so, the the answer is NO! You would have to use a ceramic tile saw or a score and snap saw. The Skil flooring saw could be used to cut laminate floor tiles.

depends on the sawblade you use. with the right blade it does cut steel, probably not thicker than 1/8 of an inch. be careful!

Don't see why not,as it will keep the door at a 90 degree anle -either inswinging ,or out

I would use it for that. Anytime you get one of the straight grinders, it might also be a good idea to get a 90 degree type as well.

not sure i use it to cut fiver cement siding i think you won't have any problem with laminate floor

yes, i have used it to cut hardwood flooring when installing a floor level threshold to an exising floor. You do have to use a guide for a perfectly straight cut

It will but not easily. I purchasing for the same thing and because the tiles were very small I frequently cut my fingers. Wasn't long before I went out and bought a wet tile saw which is what I should have done in the first place. This cutter is best used for solid one-piece tiles.

I used it for concrete siding and it works great. I would think it would cut flooring no problem. Just keep using the stone on the blade regularly. Good luck. This is worth every cent great tool for the money

I used my saw to cut laminate flooring and it worked fine. I imagine it would work fine cutting PVC pipe .

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

The answer to your question is probably yes. It depends on what type of work you are doing. If you are just looking for something solid that will give you good 90 deg cuts then it is definitely overkill. Not that it will not do that of course but the real strength of this tool is the ability to cut very accurate miters at any angle and to set the flip up stop so the lengths are repeatable. This is a quality tool well built it would certainly work for you but might be a bit bulky going from job site to job site.
