What tool would be most appropriate for cutting SwissTrax tile?

[sputz]

I currently don't own any power tool for cutting, not even a dremel. I narrowed down to these three tools - what do you think would be the most appropriate for a clean cut?

I don't want anything heavy duty or expensive since I dont' see myself using the tool afterwards, leaning towards more general purpose, light weight tools.

Also, would a simple rotary tool work?

Thanks so much!

The best way to cut it is with a factory sold sheer. That said not to many people have or can afford one. When we sell tiles, most of our customers will use a simple table saw or circular saw. The more teeth the better. Depending on the blade you may need to let it cool off on occasion.

I would use whatever you think you would use for other things down the road. The Dremmel would be tougher for me for long straight cuts and I do have one.

If a jig saw get a cheap $10 guide for straight cuts.

A circular saw would be faster for straight cuts but for any corner cuts you want the jig saw and it can do both IMO.

Justin/emcman, thanks so much for the responses. I was leaning towards Dremel and I finally received some tile samples and I agree, Dremel might do the job, but might not be clean.

Time to invest in a jigsaw then!

I know this is a late response - but since this thread ranks pretty well on a google - I figured it’d be a good thread to respond to. Anyhow, I used a 140 tooth blade in a table saw for tips and a Dremel for detail work. Turned out great.
