Blade on Tile Saw Table

As with any saw, the blade is an integral part and the right one can make all the difference in the world. One question that arises more than most is how long does a blade last on a Husky tile saw? This depends greatly on the type of tile that is being cut and the amount of use.

The majority of Husky wet tile saw blades that are on the market are a diamond and steel mixture as far as composition. This helps to ensure a much longer life than standard blades that are made of manmade materials. The edge is impregnated with very fine diamond chips along with a carbide or titanium tooth material.

Most blades on the market have an extremely long life for a homeowner or do it yourselfer. This is due to the project length and amount of tile being cut which likely is not near as much as a professional tile contractor may put a Husky wet tile saw through. The average blade can be used to tile multiple rooms in a home before ever needing to be replaced.

One good way to help extend the life of the blade is to ensure that the water bath in the saw always remains full during use. Cutting ceramic tile with a saw generates a large amount of heat both on the tile and the blade. By keeping an adequate amount of water available, the blade remains cool during use and will not warp or burn out.

By guiding the material through the saw gently and not forcing it, the blade will also see a longer life. How long does a blade last on a Husky tile saw is a matter of correct use and proper care. Let the blade do the cutting and it will serve the saw owner well for a very long time.
