Porter-Cable Wet Tile Saw PCE980 7 Inch Table Top Machine (1.0 HP 2850 RPM Stainless Steel Deck Porcelain Ceramic Stone Home Remodeling Cutting Tool)

High Torque Tabletop Diamond Blade Power for Chip-Free Porcelain and Stone Slicing

The Porter-Cable PCE980 7-Inch Table Top Wet Tile Saw is a corded electric masonry saw engineered to execute precise rip and diagonal cuts through dense tile substrates. Driven by a 1.0 peak horsepower motor operating at a no-load speed of 2,850 RPM, this compact power saw utilizes a continuous rim diamond blade to slice porcelain, ceramic, granite, and natural stone without cracking or structural deformation. The tabletop platform integrates a corrosion-resistant stainless steel fixed deck, an onboard miter square for angle indexing, a cast-metal cutting cart with a 17-inch rip capacity, and a protective roll cage framework to ensure long-term jobsite durability.

Best Used For:

• Porcelain Floor Installation: Slicing thick, dense porcelain flooring tiles cleanly up to 17 inches for large-format pattern configurations.
• Bathroom Diagonal Cuts: Executing highly accurate diagonal corner profiles on 12-inch by 12-inch ceramic or stone tiles for custom shower pans.
• Kitchen Backsplash Remodeling: Trimming delicate mosaic sheets and small glass tile pieces uniformly without edge chipping or surface fracture lines.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• High Torque Electric Motor: Reliable 1,300-watt power unit delivers fluid rotational velocity to prevent binding when plunging into natural stone.
• Cast-Metal Material Cart: Rugged sliding carriage track supports extensive material weights, ensuring a straight crosscut tolerance within 1/16 inch.
• Stainless Steel Fixed Deck: Industrial grade alloy work surface prevents rust formulation from continuous water saturation during heavy production cutting.
• Integrated Protective Roll Cage: Hardened steel outer structural framework shields internal mechanism components and acts as a balanced carrying handle.
• Splash Management Drainage: Onboard splash deflector traps runtime water spray while a bottom drain plug allows clean, zero-mess water tray emptying.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Maintain a constant filled water level in the bottom basin reservoir to keep the continuous diamond rim fully cooled during operation; allowing a diamond blade to run dry when slicing structural porcelain instantly glazed the industrial segments and burns out motor winding parameters.
