Description
Tile edge chipping and water splash ruin indoor workspace walls when sizing porcelain tile on underpowered cutters. The Rubi Tools 8 in. Tile saw Du Evo 26-inch model provides straight wet cutting via a direct-drive 1.1 HP motor. The stamped steel water tray flexes when full, risking dirty slurry spills across customer floors if moved without draining.
An extruded aluminum chassis pairs with a high-rigidity structural steel bridge rail to guide the sliding motor head. Dual-sealed radial ball bearings ride inside ground rail tracks, preventing plunge head flutter that cracks fragile ceramic edges. The 1.1 HP electric motor features thermal overload protection, driving an eight-inch diamond continuous rim blade while a submersible pump delivers pressurized water directly to both blade sides.
Wet Tile Cutting Hardware Parameters
Porcelain fabrication requires zero rail deflection across twenty-six-inch spans and continuous flood cooling along the diamond rim. Articulating plunge heads permit interior basin cutouts without edge chipping.
- 1.1 HP direct-drive motor delivers 2790 RPM to section vitrified stone without blade bind
- 26-inch cutting length accommodates standard commercial porcelain floor tiles in single passes
- Ground steel bridge rail maintains cutting straightness across broad ceramic tile dimensions
- Submersible water cooling pump floods both sides of the diamond blade to eliminate silica dust
- Plunging saw head adjusts cutting depth to execute internal sink cutouts and electrical box pockets
- Miter cutting capacity tilts forty-five degrees for accurate exterior corner tile joints
- Folding tubular leg unit includes transport wheels for rapid loading into commercial vans
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Idle current draw settles at 4.2 amps on standard 120-volt input circuits. Pushing half-inch porcelain pavers through the diamond matrix elevates current draw to 9.8 amps as motor speed dips from 2790 RPM down to 2640 RPM. Bridge rail deflection checks register under 0.002 inches across twenty-six inches of travel. Operating sound emissions hold at 79 dBA during wet ceramic sectioning.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not use this machine to dry cut masonry blocks or section structural carbon steel pipe. Tradesmen running the diamond blade without water burn out the diamond matrix and crack the plunge bracket. Clean tile sediment out of the water reservoir tray after every working day. Wipe steel bridge rails with clean dry cotton towels to prevent slurry abrasion. Inspect submersible water pump intake filters for clay buildup prior to each cut.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 2-Year limited warranty protects the bridge saw chassis, motor, and water pump against manufacturing defects. The carton includes the Du Evo tile saw unit, folding wheel stand, 8-inch diamond blade, submersible pump, lateral stop fence, and maintenance wrenches.
