A tile saw is a specialized power tool designed for cutting tiles, such as ceramic, porcelain, or stone. It typically features a diamond blade that rotates at high speeds, allowing for precise and clean cuts. Tile saws can be either handheld or stationary, with the latter often equipped with a water reservoir to cool the blade and reduce dust during cutting. Using a tile saw is essential for achieving accurate tile dimensions, especially in home improvement projects like flooring or backsplashes. Proper safety measures, such as wearing goggles and gloves, are important to protect against debris and sharp edges while operating the tool.
