TILE OR MASONRY SAW ASSEMBLY WITH IMPROVED BLADE WETTING CAPABILITY

摘要

A tile or masonry saw assembly (100/200) may include a saw (110/210) and a frame (120/220). The saw (110/210) includes a motor (112/212) operable to turn a blade (158) of a blade assembly (114/214) to cut a workpiece. The blade assembly (114/214) is internally wetted during operation by nozzles (164) disposed on opposing sides of the blade (158) to provide water onto the blade (158) within a blade guard (150) configured to shield a portion of the blade (158). The frame (120/220) is operably coupled to the saw (110/210) to support the workpiece. The frame (120/220) supports a water collecting system (121/221) for collecting the water. The water collecting system (121/221) includes a water tank (124) that is removable from the frame (120/220).
