Default Tile Saw Question


"srazor" wrote in message
...
I have a table saw style tile saw I've used for years and recently
purchased a Husky tile saw with the motor mounted above. My question
involves the water supply that wets (or in this case does not) the blade.
The table saw style saws blade ran through a tub of water wetting the
blade, and slinging water at me. The Husky saws water supply is behind and
above the blade and does not, even after several modifications wet the
blade. The RPM of the blade "blows" the water into the blade guard and it
drips onto the tile, essentially dry cutting the tile. Any ideas? Should
I just return it to HD? What model/brand over arm saw would you
reccommend?

Thanks

Scot


Don't know about the Husky but check the water pump and the water line.
Disconnect the line at the pump and see if the pump is primed and then blow
through the line to clear it - that always work for me and then you should
have a strong spray at the cutting edge.

I have a 10", 2hp, QEP like the above except single speed and its a
workhorse. If I had more money to burn, I would have gone for a MK Diamond.
