Circular Saws for Stone Cutting
Handheld tile saws are compact circular saws designed for cutting ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and similar hard materials during tile installation. These tools are operated by hand and provide portability, maneuverability, and on-site cutting flexibility where larger saws are impractical. A handheld tile saw allows installers to perform straight cuts, plunge cuts, trimming, and detail work directly at the point of installation.
This collection includes handheld circular saws and stone cutters built for tile and stone cutting in residential and commercial environments. Many models support wet cutting to help control dust and reduce heat buildup, while others are designed for dry cutting depending on the application. These tools are commonly used where controlled, precise cuts are needed without moving material to a stationary saw.
Handheld circular saw designs optimized for tile feature motor speeds, blade guards, and water delivery options suited for abrasive materials. When paired with the proper diamond blade, these saws help improve cut quality and reduce edge chipping.

Common Applications
Handheld tile saws are used for straight cuts, plunge cuts, trimming, and detail work during floor and wall tile installation. They are commonly used for backsplashes, showers, countertops, and other areas where portable cutting solutions are required.
Cutting Control & Safety Considerations
Using a handheld tile saw designed for tile and stone helps improve cut quality and reduce chipping. Always follow manufacturer instructions, use blades rated for the material being cut, and wear appropriate personal protective equipment during operation.
