I need a fine tooth for aqua tile wall panels. Will this saw work?

This will work OK, but if you need a real fine cut, get the 80 tooth blade.

Not real familiar with those wall panels but it looks like they are only 1/8th" thick. This blade might work but I would probably look for a higher tooth paneling blade. Aqua's instructions are very vague on what they are looking for as far as a "fine tooth blade".

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.

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.

Yes this cutter can cut a 12"x24" into two 12"x12" tiles. If you are cutting hard porcelain an electric wet saw would be required.

I got a bunch of plates at thrift store and drilled holes in them with a diamond 1/4 inch hole saw you can get in tile section at hardware store just keep it wet when drilling or plates will crack as to buying predrilled I don't know sorry

I believe it would work on a material such as Plexiglas, but I believe I would shop for a higher tooth count such as a paneling blade.

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

I bought this to cut tile with and thought it was straight one piece but has a ridge and thats a bummer-you need a tile blade thats for tile not this blade with the ridge--my brother said it was very cheap for the diamonds are very few. hope this helps-maybe buy new blade and thewn sell it. steamer

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

The Shark saw is a more rough-cut saw. For baseboard and molding, you would probablyy want a finer toothed saw

It will work well on ceramic tile flooring. Not sure about slate as I do not have any slate. Would not be without the Shark now after using continuously for over a year.

It barely cuts round. Doubt it will cut square&#128513; you are better off using wet saw for tile.

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.

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

I was able to cut everything with a good wet saw. Beautiful cuts, nice and clean. I wouldn't use tile nippers as the travertine might fracture where you don't want it. If you have intricate cuts, cut them in a single or double line of tile instead of the entire mat of tile. It takes a bit of effort to break the tiles apart, but you will be happier with the precision. Also discovered that while the tiles may mesh together nicely in a dry fit, it was profoundly difficult to do so once the mastic was on the cement backer board. I ended up doing the whole wall 2 rows at a time, breaking each mat into 6 double rows. Took me 2 days, but it was gorgeous! I was able to cut everything with a good wet saw.

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, that's the primary reason I bought this saw is to cut abalone inlays...Please make sure you use mask because sea shell dust is toxic, safety first....
