For this post, I have put together a collection of the best tile saws currently available.
UPDATED: June 4, 2020.
MY TOP PICK:
If you are looking for the best overall, I recommend the DEWALT D24000S because it offers a rip cut up to 28 inches with a plunge, adjustable blade cooling nozzles, and a lightweight folding stand.
These electric saws can be used to cut through porcelain, ceramic, glass, marble, and granite tiles and work most effectively when using a diamond blade with water as a cutting coolant.
Depending on the model, tile saws come in a variety of forms. For example, on large jobs, a setup similar to table saw or a sliding compound miter saw is preferred. This configuration makes it easier to make fast, straight cuts with consistent dimensions.
For smaller jobs or use in a confined area, a hand-held tile saw is often ideal, similar to a traditional circular saw. The main difference when compared with a traditional saw is the addition of the water line and regulator.
The following tile saws use the latest innovative components to meet your needs and help to ensure you do your best work.
So here is my list of The 10 Best Tile Saws.
