Can this tool be used to occasionally cut through tile?

With the right diamond blade wheel, it is perfect for smaller cuts, especially radius cuts.

Put the right diamond or masonry cutting disk on there and you can use it all day every day to cut thru ceramic tile, sure. http://www.harborfreight.com/pack-of-10-4-1-2-half-inch-cut-off-wheels-for-masonry-45431.html

Yes, with a tile cutting wheel. I've even seen them mounted on frames to make lots of cuts.

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.

absolutely NO. the saw chips small tile. I had to get a wet saw to do my tile work

I used this on tile with an angle grinder for a small number of detail cuts. It cuts through tile very well. I use it on pavers as well. Haven't used this blade in a wet saw though. Good blade for my use.

Yes. We cut alot of tile with the original blade with no problem. It worked great!

It can be used for tile removal. Damage to the walls and floor may depend on how strong the thinset is holding. There is a tile removal bit for the tool, it's about 2 inches wide and has an angle on it so the bit can go flat against the wall.

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.

I cut sheetrock, 2X4 and a 4X4 --- granted it is probably not the most efficient way to do it ---- I think it should work just fine. The only thing I have not cut with these tool is metal or tile -- but if I get the right blade probably will do it fine.

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.

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.

What you need is a demolition hammer for breaking up tile. This multi tool is a precision tool designed for fine cuts in awkward places. It is also a nice detail sander for awkward places. I do use it for sawing out grout joints for renewing the grout. I used to do it with a hand saw but this is easy to control and easier on me. The blade attached to this tool moves side to side a small amount. It is a very fast movement and cuts pretty quickly. it is very handy for cutting door jams when installing laminate flooring, marble bathroom door sills, etc. It can be used to plunge cut holes in drywall, wood or other similar materials. You can get a scraper blade that they advertise for vinyl tile removal, but that is pretty slow. I can do a better job with a garden spade. A quick check of the internet on ceramic tile removal will give you a better idea on what you need. This tool isn't it.

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

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.. :)

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

I have only cut standard-weight stained glass and glass tiles with this tool. I'm guessing that it might not be effective on anything heavier.

Oh yeah absolutely, I used it to cut out pieces of plaster wall and ended up with nice clean lines (LOTS of dust, so you need ventilation and mask). I assume the tile "may" give you a bit more resistance? (depending on the type of tile, maybe not), but also probably less dust. I did the plaster wall dry, but could have used the water attachment if I wasn't too concerned about getting the surrounding area wet. If water is an issue you can probably use it dry like I did if you're not too worried about the blade wearing out quickly, or else use the water on a very low flow. I've used this to cut plaster (dry) and granite (wet), in both cases it cut like butter. Very pleased with this saw.

yes, but the fact that it has a blade made for high speed cutting, it will melt the tile at the edge and turn it into a molten disaster. use a straight edge and a sharp box cutter with a point to cut the tile. you can later trim the cut with a(the same) knife if you need to adjust for things like moldings or register edges
