The Tile saw
Tile saws are an absolute necessity for any tiling contractor. These hard-working and durable machines perform the incredibly important function of resizing to fit all those tiles which are not especially made to fit into a wide variety of places. Corners, ends, ceilings, vent pockets or fixture placement configurations all require its use.
Relatively safe, these use diamond blades to cut cleanly and rapidly through any material. Ceramics and stone all cut easily and rapidly, freeing the installer for more onerous or exacting tasks. The ease and speed which these machines offer is an unparalleled success story. It’s really pretty amazing operating one. You watch as it slices through the hardest materials like a hot knife through butter. The water fed blade never heats up, even with all the amazing friction and cutting power.
Tile saws are often used on bricks as well, even paver bricks, although, to be honest, the larger makes of these saws should be used on those tough and thick brick pavers. Their density and the amount of force required can overpower a smaller machine and lead as well to fuse and breaker problems owing to amperage issues.
