How to Square a Wet Saw

A wet saw is a special type of saw typically used to cut hard tile. Wet saws have a moving control arm with a diamond blade in it. Wet saws also come equipped with a water pump and a tray to hold water. The water helps to both keep the diamond saw blade cool and to keep tile dust and shards from flying while the saw is cutting. Squaring is the process of properly aligning the saw and saw table so it can cut a straight 90 degree angle in the tile.
