How to Keep a Wet Saw Blade Sharp

Tile flooring or wall treatments can add style and flair to your home. Working with tile, especially cutting tile, can be difficult without the proper tools. Wet saws are designed specifically for cutting tile. Wet saws are equipped with a water pan that is used to keep the blade from overheating while cutting, to ensure even cuts. You can replace a wet saw blade when it becomes dull. Sharpen a wet saw blade regularly to prevent having to replace the blade.
