This may be the 'stupid question' of the day but does this cut vinyl tiles too?Looking for something easier than a box cutter& a straight edge.Thanks

This cutter works by using a very hard, diamond wheel to score a line on the ceramic tile, similar to a glass cutter. When the tile is stressed it will crack along the scored line. I doubt the score line it would make on a soft material, such as vinyl, would be deep enough to be useful for reliably breaking the vinyl along the score line.

no it will not cut vinyl but they to make cutters for vinyl but a straight edge(metal) and a utility knife will work fine.l

It is designed for hard porcelain/ceramic tiles. It doesn't really "cut" the tile. It scores the tile (through the glaze) - along which the tile is "snapped" or cleanly broken. Hope this helps.

I am not sure, my first thought would be no. It is a carbide cutter just able to score tile slightly. Use a regular razor knife cutter, not a box cutter, that would be better. Change the blade often. Best wishes.

We installed 500mm(~19 3/4 inch) tile, and as long as scoring pressure was constant, the cuts were very clean. Diagonal cuts will likely depend on the angle. The only cuts I found troublesome were ones where I was trying to trim less than an inch.

It comes with a Dianond blade for cutting ceramic tile. I use the drop in method and try torning the tileover and cut on the back side.But Im thinking of no chip out on the front.Try the front too. See how that turns out. It is out in my tool house tonight.Ill look at it tomorrow and see what's printedanywhere I can see it. The rpm you want.I love it. Sure made short work of Hardi siding.

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

Don't think it will cut tile however this tool I've used for everything wooden! It is excellent tool for any fine detail trim work!

It would cut it but holding a small stone to cut it would be hazardous to your hands and very messy. You should by a cutter that has a holding fixture. My opinion. I like the saw for tile.

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

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.

With the right attachment yes it can cut tile. Check out youtube. It has some videos that can show you how

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

The blade will cut through the glass tiles just fine, however, I would suggest purchasing a thinner more durable blade. I purchased a Ridgid 7" blade from Home Depot. The Ridgid blade make cleaner cuts and wastes less material because it is a thinner blade.Also, Skil just came out with a new updated model of this saw. I would suggest purchasing that saw instead because it has some much needed improvements. Here is some information on the new saw: https://www.skiltools.com/Tools/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?model=3550-01.

i always answer questions and only in a truthfull way after much time with the product.this Skill tool for me barely cuts cardboard boxes as some say it does . i tried but went back to my razor knife which took less effort then the Skill , and another reviewer said the same thing ! SO it will not cut ceramic tile in my opinion . you will have to research which tool is best because i am not a DIY person i am an artist . good luck with your searchbrother molayKT.KT.b

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.

I don't have any experience with cutting vinyl siding with this saw, but I would say, after cutting wood with it (one handed, by the way), it should do the job. I can't say what kind of edge it would leave, but I think it would be better than that of a regular circular saw, as the "teeth" are actually adhered silicate(?) particles. I see no problem with one-handed operation, but it it is not quite as easy as with a regular hand saw. The saw is essentially a large Dremel tool. Note well - use the vacuum attachment if possible or work in a open space, as this saw really produces dust. Hope I have helped with your decision. I would buy this saw again. For the reconditioned price, it's a steal.

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.

The blade is 9-1/2" wide. It would cut straight cuts on 9" as long as it no wider. But it would not cut a 45 degree cut on 9" I used it on 6" vinyl and it worked excellent.
