How to Using a Wet Saw for Straight and Corner Cut a Ceramic Tiles?

Measure and mark your marblre tiles where you want to cut them. Use a measuring square to determine how much you need to cut off and make a strong mark with a pencil or where you would like to cut so the water doesn’t erase the mark. Then make the marks in any direction you’d like, such as horizontal, vertical, or even diagonal. This method is suitable for bigger jobs that involve a great amount of wall tiles. You can also use wet saws to cut tile trimmings with a bullnose or quarter-round shape.

Set up the wet saw according to the saw’s instructions. Each wet saw will be a little different, so be sure to follow the instructions closely. In most cases, you will need to fill the tub with water and turn the saw on. Make sure the water level doesn’t get too low, and be sure to replace it when it gets dirty so the saw operates properly.

Cut the floor tile according to the saw’s instructions. Each saw will be a little different, so read the instructions carefully. For the cleanest cut, avoid pushing or forcing the tiles into the saw. Instead, gently guide the ceramic tiles towards the saw, and let the saw do the cutting for you. Make sure that the water is covering the blade when cutting.


Smooth down any roughness with a wood tile. Even if you took extra steps to ensure the cleanest of cuts, there may be some roughness on the cut edges. If this happened to you, simply rub the cut edge of the tiles across a brick or a piece of concrete a few times. Avoid using a brick or piece of concrete with jagged edges, as this could break the tile design.
