I cut 6 inch wide by 24 inch long tile. It will cut 18 inch long safely but you either have to flip it 180 degrees or put the pavers on top of the guide bar and that is what i did. It will cut 3 1/4 inch deep max. Buy a good blade . I bought a Dewalt from Lowes and it works great.

This product is a wet saw for cutting tiles. It can be used to cut stone/pavers, but that is not its primary design. If you are intending to cut an entire wall's worth of stone, I would look to a more industrial product. Of course it also depends on the hardness of the stone in question.

It's made to cut dry or wet.. So yes it will work. I would start out cutting slow till you see how the balde and saw works with the paver.. Just watch how fast you cut so you don't over heat the blade.. The job I did and used this blade it worked great.. Both wet and dry! Good luck..

I was able to cut through pressure treated 4x4's with mine, I even cut through PT 6x6 with it. You have to turn it, but it will do it.

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.

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 use my saw to cut everything. You may want to get a different blade for cutting pavers. DeWalt wants you to use their blades, I have many blades for all variation of materials. Cutting pavers is dirty so change your water daily. DeWalt saws are not as heavy duty as they used to be but I don't think that there is a saw on the market that is as accurate and adjustable.

It worked fine for me in my bench miter saw. I cut hundreds of concrete pavers. Still cutting great.

I am not sure, I installed it on my miter saw and it has cut a ton of bricks and paver stones for me to build a patio. It is like a standard size saw blade. Hope that helps

It will, in fact I have used the 12 inch ax demolition blades on a couple of plaster wall an stud framing projects. I really expected the saw to fail after several hours of what I call abuse but it held up. At one time the saw was so hot that you couldn't touch it bare handed. Amazingly the saw is still being used on a regular basis. Whe it finally does fail I will get another. Very happy with it. baysidebuilders.com

I cut a 72x72 down to 72x48. Easy to cut but the result is an uneven grout line below the first row of tile. A friend did the same cut down but had a more talented tile guy. The consistency of thinset on the floor isimportant to insure proper water flow. Short answer, yes.

I would ask the supplier if this type of tile is suitable for working with a snap style tile cutter. If so, then I would think the QEP 10552 would be ideal. I have used it to cut small pieces of ceramic & porcelain tile with no problem.

Has anyone ever cut slate tiles with this tool? I'm trying to finish a shower wall, and need to rip 2"x2" slate mosaic tiles that are about a half inch thick. I understand I should get a diamond blade.

I recently installed about 1,500 sq. ft. of this product. I found trimming straight lines to work best on a table saw with finish-type blade (lots of small teeth on blade). The saw provides a very clean cut edge. For a small job a heavy-duty utility knife and a straight edge will work...but it takes some effort and several passes with a sharp knife to finally get through the tiles. A fine-tooth jig saw also works, but requires a straight edge for cutting.

If you needed to cut a hole in, or notch a 2x4 this might work but it would not be the most efficient tool for the job. I think the included blade is 1 and 3/4 in. If you want to cut a 2x4 in half, use a skill saw or the trim saw attachment.

We are presently cutting 6" X 24" porcelain tiles and are having no problems. We don't think you will have any problems cutting the tiles you described. we really like our tile saw. Good luck.

Yes, it will. That was actually the first thing I used it for. The combs don't exactly cut evenly in half...long story short, definitely doable but won't look as nice as an 8.5x11, still presentable though depending on how neat you are with the cutting and whole punching.
