A tile saw sprays the diamond blade with water while cutting tiles. This keeps the ceramic tile cutting blade and tile cool, minimises dust, and prevents chipping.
Tile saws generally are a bit smaller and more portable than their bricksaw and block saw counterparts. They are designed with more detailed precision cutting in mind, as they all have built in gradual angle rulers for mitering cuts. 9 inch and 10 inch tile saw blade are the most common size for a tile saw diamond blade.
Are you wondering if there is any trick in how to cut tile with a wet saw? It’s really not difficult once you have the right ceramic tile tools.
To cut a ceramic tile on a tile saw, it is as easy as:
1. placing the tile on the sliding table
2. sliding the table forward towards the stationary blade (to check the cutting path is in line with your marks on the tile).
3. turning on the saw and guiding the spinning ceramic tile diamond blade into the tile – using slow even pressure with both hands.
