More Information
Summary:A tile cutting machine (10) includes a tub (12) for receiving water and a tile (31) to be cut therein. A cutting head assembly (14) having a motor driven blade (46) is positioned above a tile supporting surface located in the tub (12) and is movable with respect thereto. A laser (64) projects a line of light from the cutting head assembly (14) down onto the tile supporting surface to provide a visual representation of a cutting path of the blade (46). A scale permits measurement of a tile (31) to be cut. The laser (64) may be used with the scale to allow a user to quickly determine cutting widths without the need to manually mark the object to be cut. A light source, such as an LED, may be incorporated in the cutting head to illuminate an interior of the tub during operation of the tile cutting machine.
