About Wet Tile Saws
Wet tile saws are electric cutting tools designed to cut ceramic, porcelain, glass, and stone tile using a diamond blade and an integrated water delivery system. Water is supplied directly to the blade to cool the cutting surface, reduce heat buildup, and control dust while producing clean, accurate cuts.
Wet saws are commonly used for straight cuts, angled cuts, and repetitive rip cuts during residential and light commercial tile installation projects.
