The best selling masonry saw in the USA
OSHA CompliantiQ dry-cut diamond blade saws cut porcelain tile and pavers without water, without slurry, and without the mess. Set up anywhere, cut indoors, and stay OSHA silica compliant — right out of the box.
Porcelain is one of the hardest and most dense ceramic materials used in construction today. Whether you're cutting porcelain floor tiles, large-format porcelain slabs, or outdoor porcelain pavers, the wrong saw — or the wrong blade — will result in chipping, cracking, and wasted material.
The key to a clean porcelain cut is a dedicated diamond blade engineered for the material's hardness, combined with a saw that delivers consistent speed and precise feed control. iQ Power Tools' proprietary Q-Drive diamond blade technology was developed specifically for cutting hard tile and porcelain, producing chip-free edges that wet saws simply can't match.
Beyond blade quality, cutting porcelain also creates respirable crystalline silica dust — a serious OSHA-regulated health hazard. iQ's integrated vacuum systems capture 99.5% of fine silica dust at the source, making every cut OSHA compliant without the need for water, tarps, or external extraction equipment.
Can you cut porcelain tile without water? Yes — and with iQ Power Tools, it's the better method. Traditional wet saws require water for cooling, which creates slurry mess, limits where you can cut, and adds significant setup and cleanup time. iQ's dry cut diamond blade technology uses engineered blade geometry and integrated airflow to eliminate heat buildup — no water required. You get cleaner cuts, no floor damage, and the ability to cut indoors in finished spaces.
Whether you're a tile setter working indoors on a bathroom remodel, or a hardscaper cutting 24" porcelain pavers on a patio installation, iQ Power Tools has a dry-cut solution that will make your work faster, cleaner, and safer.
iQ saws combine precision diamond blade engineering with integrated dust control — the only dry-cut system proven at scale on porcelain tile and pavers.
iQ's proprietary Q-Drive diamond blades are engineered specifically for porcelain — delivering clean, chip-free edges on even the hardest large-format tiles and pavers without water cooling.
Every iQ saw features a built-in dust extraction system that captures 99.5% of fine silica dust at the source. No external shop vac required — the system is self-contained and OSHA compliant.
Cutting porcelain generates respirable crystalline silica dust. iQ saws meet OSHA Table 1 requirements out of the box, protecting your crew from fines and long-term health risks.
From 4×4 subway tiles to 24×48 large-format slabs and 12"–24" outdoor porcelain pavers — iQ's lineup covers every format pros encounter on the job.
Whether you're cutting porcelain tile indoors or porcelain pavers on a hardscape project, there's an iQ saw built for the job.

Follow these professional steps to get chip-free porcelain cuts every time using iQ Power Tools.
Use a dedicated porcelain diamond blade
Never use a general masonry blade on porcelain. iQ Q-Drive blades are engineered for porcelain's extreme hardness and brittleness, delivering chip-free edges every cut.
Score the glaze side first
For clean, chip-free cuts on large-format porcelain tiles and slabs, score the glaze face first before completing the full cut.
Apply steady, consistent feed pressure
Let the blade do the work. Forcing the material increases chipping and shortens blade life. iQ Q-Drive technology maintains clean cuts at natural feed speeds.
No water needed — cut dry
With iQ's integrated dry-cut system, no water or cooling is required. This eliminates thermal blade shock, slurry cleanup, and makes indoor cuts possible without tarps.
Maintain your dust chamber
Empty the iQ dust chamber regularly to keep suction at peak performance. A full chamber reduces capture efficiency and can allow fine silica particles to escape.
Use guide rails for porcelain pavers
For outdoor porcelain pavers, always cut on a stable surface and use guide rails. This ensures perfectly straight cuts on 12"–24" format pavers every time.
"The iQTS244 cuts large-format porcelain cleaner than any wet saw I've used. No chipping, no cleanup — and I can set it up right inside the room."
