Tile Cutting Machine

摘要

A machine (10) is provided for cutting tiles (31) and similar objects of various materials. The tile cutting machine (10) includes a tub (12) having at least one sidewall and a bottom for holding water. A holding mat (26) is received within the tub (12) that includes a number of nubs (28) extending upwardly therefrom for supporting a tile to be cut using the tile cutting machine. A cutting head assembly (14) movable relative to the tub (12) includes a blade (46) and a motor (48) for powering the blade (46). The blade (46) is positionable to a depth that allows full penetration through the tile (31) and into contact with water received within the tub (12), thereby providing lubrication, cooling, and dust control while the tile (31) is being cut.
