[Moreno Valley, Calif.] iQ Power Tools introduced the first dry-cut tile saw designed to cut ceramic, porcelain, marble and stone.
The iQTS244 is a 10” dry-cut tile saw specifically created for professional tile setters and contractors. This tool allows for tile to be cut inside or outside with no water and no dust discharge. Additionally, it is lightweight, compact and built on wheels.
According to iQ, the saw is 100 percent compliant with the new OSHA standard on respirable silica dust. The iQTS244 utilizes a three-stage filtration system which captures up to 99.5 percent of the dust. All the dust from the cutting point passes through this filtration system and is captured in the dust tray.
The blades are air-cooled by the vacuum. The vacuum also removes the cutting debris so the blade is not regrinding the same material, a process that reduces friction and heat.
“This is a tool that will be a complete game changer for the tile industry,” stated Joel Guth, president of iQ Power Tools. “Eliminating water from tile-cutting helps contractors to set tile smarter. They can cut right where they are working; saving time, money and messy cleanups.”
