Can I use a tile saw to cut wood?
A wet tile saw can be used for cutting wood but it is not a recommending tool for doing so. The reason is the increased risk of injury associated with using an inappropriate tool for the job. The wet tile saw is actually designed to cut tiles as it has a diamond edge carbide blade which is far different from the blade of the table saw. This carbide blade cuts the wood by grinding rather than slicing which would jam the blade itself and may cause injury to the operator. So to be on the safe side, always use the right tool for the right job.
