Does this saw do plunge cuts and how well does it cut 24" tile?

Yes the saw does plunge cuts. It cuts 24" well. I lay thousands of tiles a year and I don't know why I didn't buy this saw sooner.

Hi, yes it does do plunge cuts.It also cuts 24" tile. It would be tight at if cutting for a diamond pattern.But this is a great saw. Light for night time, laser for preciseCutting. Folds down and rolls easy on gravel. Best saw I have ever earned . You won't regret it .

Yes it does plunge cuts. I have only cut up to 18 inch tiles but I believe it will cut 24 inch tiles. I do love this saw and it is very strong and durable. Definitely lives up to the name of the "beast". Hope this helps

It does do plunge cuts. It will rip a 24" fine. Expect to take time to calibrate and adjust slides after shipping

I've done just about everything with this tool but cut a piece of tile out. I have laid a lot of ceramic tile and I would probably not suggest using the tool to do a plunge cut into ceramic tile. I love this tool, but I suggest you get yourself a ceramic tile drill bit and drill a hole and then use a Dremel with a tile bit. It has the high speed you need. The Rockwell has amazing power, but I don't see the grout removal tool being able to plunge cut the tile accurately.

yes, i use this saw for precision cuts to make segmented turnings. I removed a 7.25" and replaced it with a 96 tooth 7 inch. Cuts are like glassDan

No! It will not do plunge cuts. I wish I never wasted my money on this saw. The wheels fall off, water pours all over the floor and worse. You're going to be sorry too.

No, saw is for laminate and hardwood flooring only. Wet saw for tile works best.

Well I'm a tile installer and use this saw to cut glass tile frequently. I would suggest that you have a high quality diamond blade though. This saw is capable of cutting something as wide as a wine bottle. It is a awesome saw

It cuts well through just about everything. I cross cut some 1 1/4 " thick white oak and it performed well. It will cut a bevel on 3/4" material but any thicker than that I noticed it bog down just a little. What I really like is the plunge base. It snaps right back and covers the blade after making a cut. This saw is a good deal.

Have not tried it with this saw but I had a electric saw and the blade dont last the blade burns up quick esspecially on harder tile

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 but it's better for stone and concrete you need stationary wet saw for tile

How does a jigsaw compare to a table saw? Its not a rotary tool. I find it well suited for precision cuts or cuts in tight spaces; but, not for long or deep cuts. Molding, door frames, sheet metal. I'd use it to remove grout; but wouldn't be my choice concrete.

It is limited because the tile will hit the frame of the saw on the left. I just did a job with 6x24 tiles on the diagonal and I had to be quite creative to make all my cuts around the floor vents. It does help that you can make plunge cuts similar to a miter saw. Overall this is a very nice saw. But may not be the right saw for large format tiles.

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

It will cut about two inches. This item is great for cutting through something with a smooth surface like sheetrock. Any breaks in the smooth surface and the cutting blades on the outer edge will get snagged in it and it will kick back and could hurt you. Also you must use a good 1/2 drill when cutting into deeper material. I used mine to cut through plaster and flat wood siding and it cut like butter. For those two cuts it was well worth the cost.

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

This saw can be used with about any size tile...you simply take the guide off and saw it free-hand. The limiting factor is how large a piece of tile can you hold steady and cut. Great little saw.

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