 | Looking for Multipurpose Saw |
|
Is anyone aware of a table or miter saw that can cut wood, metal, and
possibly tile? For example, wood flooring, a shower enclosure header
bracket, and ceramic tile.
---------------------
-It would depend on the blade, mainly, and then on the reaction of that
saw to the water/coolant necessary to cut tile with a saw. Most would
take it mighty personally and try to kill you. If you do find
something, post it back here - I've never heard of such an animal. -For tile & brick (only a few cuts ~20) I've used a dry diamond blade
on my Makita table saw, not ideal but doable. TIle really works best with wet saw -I know people that have cut metal on their miter saw by changing the blade.
Makes a mess though. Tile says usually use a wet process but I guess it can
be done with an abrasive blade. If you decide to try this, be sure to
remove the dust collecting bag and clean up the sawdust before cutting
metal. Metal will send hot chips that could start the dust on fire.
