I want to cut 4" Talavera tiles. Will this cutter do the job with a clean cut?

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

IT did a great job on 22 tiles, but I think it would be to big for 4 inch tiles.

Sorry, I don't know. I used mine to cut ceramic tiles, slate stone and glass tiles. The only ones it had trouble on were the glass tiles. Otherwise, it cut the ceramic and slate tiles very easily.

I had purchased for cutting granite. It does a good job for that. I haven't cut tile with it, but compared to granite , I'm sure it would cut very well.

Yes it can but a tile saw would give you easier and better cuts. It will cut any kind of stone,ceramic or porcelain

The Bosch certainly has enough power for the job - the trick will be getting the correct blade to do this. I would see if you can find a diamond grit blade (I've seen these for cutting tile) and be sure to take your time. The dust you generate with this cutting job will also be quite hazardous to breathe in - so be sure that you have a proper dust mask!

Yes, I used it to cut glass mosaic tile. For really finer cuts, you may want to consider a wet saw with a glass cutting blade on it but if you're not super fussy, this will work just fine.

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

It should be fine. Take your time cutting though, let the blade do the work. I used it to cut 2x3 glass tiles, it did wonderful. Bear in mind, the smaller the tile the harder to hold in place while cutting.

I've used this tile cutter for glass and ceramic tile. A porcelain tile project is next, and i have absolutely no concerns; I'm certain that it'll work just fine. This, in fact, is the tile cutter that the professional tile installer that put on the time installation seminar at our local Home Depot uses on all of his projects.

Yes it will cut marble tile. From me experience, it does not handle anything larger than 12". The blade that came with the saw is sufficient to cut concrete pavers. The overall quality of the unit is fair and what I would expect from something made in China. There are better saws on the market but, will do the job if your not using the unit on professional basis 6 days a week.

I used many different makes and models of 4 1/2" angle grinders in my years with the gas company and this is by far the best I have ever used. I bought it to cut paving brick with a diamond blade and it cut through those like a hot knife through butter. Porcelain tile should be no problem with the right blade.

Yes and no. Ok for small tiles. I measured and put lines on tile for my angle cuts. Used to cut 20" tiles, so had to improvise on large angle cuts. Worked good for me.

Yes, very well, using the appropriate cutting wheel. I have cut 1/4 inch thick, ceramic floor tile with ease. I was even able to cut deeply into a concrete landscape block.

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.. :)

Nope. But we used these to cut very small unglazed ceramic tiles (.75"x.75" - not sure how thin, but they were tiny), and it worked like a charm. I have a hard time imagining tiles thinner than the gap on this tool.

This blade will cut aggressively bricks, concrete blocks, stones, paver tales, and so on, but not ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, glass, etc. If you try to cut these kind of tiles with it the edges will chip and will make a very rough cut.

I would not recommend this for tile. To get a clean cut on tile you need to use a wet saw. for a diy job there are alot of cheap wet saws on the market or just buy a cheap die grinder and use a dry cut masonry blade on it. use the right tool for the right job
