Oh my goodness! Look at this saw. Hi! I am Tim Carter from askthebuilder.com. Check this sweet ceramic tile diamond wet saw out. Oh! Is it nice? Let me tell you, why they are so great. Sometimes you have to use a saw like this to cut thin pieces off a piece of tile where you can't snap it. You also need to use these sometimes to make like an L shape cut where you are taking a corner out of a piece of tile. They are also very handy to make angle cuts and oh, they just work so well. How does a ceramic wet saw work?
Simple! It has got a very different blade than the type of blade you use to cut wood. You will notice that the blade doesn't have any teeth on it, it looks absolutely smooth, but in reality, it has got the small alter pieces of diamond embedded in a steel of the blade and those little pieces of diamond are what cut the ceramic tile, the granite slate, whatever you are trying to cut with this saw. Very, very important that you keep that saw blade wet all the time with water and the saw comes with its own pump that actually re-circulates the water that is sitting in a pan and it flows across the blade and on to your tile, keeping both of them cool as it can be. That's what's make sure that your blade last for long time.
The saw also can go up and down and it can tilt left and right in case you have to cut thicker or thin materials and if you want to make angle cuts at either 221/2 or 45 degrees. The tile sits on a really nice bed that actually slides across some great rails. The bed has a nice rubber base so that the tile will not move when it gets wet and more importantly, it comes with a nice miter gauge in case you'll actually want to cut the flat tile at a 45-degree angle.
Oh! Check this out, look at that little thin sliver. You can't do that with one of those snap cutters. That's why you need a diamond wet saw, sometimes to cut ceramic tile. I am Tim Carter for askthebuilder.com.
