Description
A Diamond tipped grinder type cutter. Generally used for cutting tiles and such. It can also cut anything you can cut with a handheld grinder, while giving a smooth flat cut. The cutter has a water reserve used to wet the blade and avoid thermal damage to the item being cut. This avoids cracking the tiles, and allows for glass cutting (if done VERY carefully!) The water also acts to limit dust exposure and damage. Particularly useful in making PCBs

Usage
PCB Manufacturing (cutting) + General hackspace cutting. While we have a band saw at the space, this is not suitable for cutting some things, particularly PCBs, and can leave a rough edge. A Tile saw can be used to cut PCBs, glass, stone, as well as tiles.

Buying Procedure
