Cutting tiles with a special power tool
When carrying out repair work in an apartment, especially when it comes to a bathroom or a kitchen, quite often specialists have to perform wall cladding with ceramic tiles. The range of such material is very diverse and, as practice shows, tiles can differ not only in their parameters and quality, but also in color, decoration and some other parameters.
As practice shows, it is important not only to choose the right ceramic tiles or porcelain stoneware, but also to carry out cutting professionally. At the same time, it should be understood that cutting is an integral stage of working with tiles, because quite often masters have to adjust it to the size and shape of the surfaces of the room.
Any craftsman who in one way or another is connected with the construction and repair work understands perfectly well that cutting tiles is a rather laborious and responsible process, and any mistake here can have very negative consequences.This is especially true for unglazed material, which is characterized by increased thickness compared to glazed tiles.
If earlier all cutting operations were carried out manually in most cases, today there is a special power tool for these purposes, which performs the task as accurately and quickly as possible. Such a tool is simply necessary for processing lining material that will be located directly around switches, sockets, pipelines, etc. It is difficult to do without the so-called diamond saw, the blade of which is quite simple and easy to adjust depending on the situation.
When working with such a power tool, it is imperative to act in accordance with a number of rules and regulations, the violation of which can cause not only material damage, but also pose a significant threat to human life.
One of the important conditions for the operation of a diamond saw is the absence of loose elements on a person's clothing, which, due to the carelessness of a worker, can fall into the cutting area. After switching on the saw, the ceramic tile should be applied evenly to the blade, and the technician's fingers should be as far away from the cutting edge as possible. These are just some of the rules that should not be forgotten when working with diamond and other power tools used in the field of construction and repair.
