Glass – Glass tiles offer a clean aesthetic and are extremely stain resistant. However, they are far more fragile than ceramic and porcelain, and can easily chip along the edges. Tile saws are specifically made to cut stone, masonry, tile, granite, or other hard materials. They come in a variety of sizes and may be “dry” or “wet” with water-cooled blades. Some have stands, water containment features, bevels, or adjustable fences that allow you to make accurate angle or square cuts. Medium to Large Projects. Larger projects and harder materials demand a higher horsepower dry or wet tile saw. Larger tile saws come in a variety of sizes with features to accommodate the type and size of your material. A diamond blade minimizes broken or uneven edges and stands and sliding tables make cutting larger pieces easier. Dry tile saws require no water but produce cutting dust. A wet tile saw requires water to reduce friction that fractures tile, cools the cutting blade, and contains cutting dust. Wet tile saws are effectively and accurately cut with or without water.These larger saws may need a designated or fixed space with available water and power access. Professionals may supplement their large tile cutting operations with a small handheld, power, manual, or re-chargeable angle saw for detail and odd-shaped tile work.
