An electric tile cutter, also known as wet saws, is a power tool that is ideal for tiling projects where manual tile cutters are ineffective. Electric cutters resemble table saws where the guide keeps the tile straight while a rotating diamond blade cuts the tile. Water sprays from around the cutting blade to ensure it remains cool, and to ensure that the tile does not get damaged or burnt. Electric tile cutter saw tables come with a water source or a water reservoir to help keep the cutting blades cool.
With the help of the guide, electric tile cutters cut tiles can make straight and precise cuts. With some of training and skill development, the user can also use the electric cutter to cut tiles into L-shaped and U-shaped cuts and cut inserts. The electric tile cutter is also essential to cut through tougher materials like natural stone, or if the scope of work requires mitre cut tiles.
