Description
Diamond Jigsaw Blade
This tool cuts ceramic and porcelain up to 5/16-inch (under 5mm) thick. Thicker dinnerware and stone can be cut using the compound tile nipper. The offset tile nipper can be used to cut recycled glass tile, but it is not recommended for that purpose. The blades are curved which can lead to irregular cuts on stone or marble.
Safety and Cutting Tile
- Always wear safety glasses with side shields when using the blade.
- Always wear an N95 Mask when using any jigsaw, and cut outdoors to prevent dust build-up.
- Make sure that you don’t cut glass around people who are not wearing safety glasses. Flying chips could potentially hit their eyes as easily as yours.
- This tool is meant for thick ceramic and porcelain tiles and dinnerware.
- Be aware that cutting tile can produce sharp tiny slivers. Never sweep off a work surface with your bare hand. Use a vacuum or counter brush.
