When it comes to cutting tiles, there are many tools available. You’ll want to make sure you select the right tools for your project. Tiles are one of the hardest but most long-lasting materials for home projects. Whether you need to revamp a kitchen, bathroom, or entryway, tiles can give your home project a nice finish and offer durability to high traffic rooms. First, however, you need the right tools for the project.
The Difference Between Dry and Wet Tile Saws
While the two main tools for cutting tiles are dry and wet tile saws, dry saws are handheld units and are mostly meant for thinner tiles and smaller projects. Wet tile saws are used with basins of water and sprayers to keep the blade and tile from heating up and causing smoke and friction. The Rubi Wet Saw tile cutter is a lightweight, motorized wet saw that is easy to load and unload at project sites.
Wet Saws Can Cut Hard Tiles
Unlike the dry handheld saw, the wet tile saw can cut thicker and harder tiles. The wet saw is capable of cutting stone tiles such as marble or granite, porcelain tiles, glass tiles, and commercial grade ceramic floor tiles.
Cutting Intricate and Diagonal Tiles
Wet tile saws are able to cut intricate and diagonal tiles with the proper alignment. The motorized blade is covered with tiny diamonds capable of cutting through dense tiles. The wet saw can cut tiles with precision, giving your project a clean finished look.
Cutting Faster and With Better Precision
Wet tile saws, such as the Rubi Wet Saw, are the ideal saws to use in large projects. Not only can wet tile saws cut faster and easier, they are able to accomplish the task with better precision regardless of the thickness or denseness of the tiles.
