Video Transcript

"Hi, My name is Brian Carter on behalf of Expertvillage.com. I have ten years of tile experience. Today I am going to show you what tools you are going to need to cut ceramic tile. First we have a ceramic tile wet saw, this is the large tool here, we are also going to need a smaller saw, this is a grinder fitted with a ceramic tile dry blade, this is used for cutting smaller more intricate type of cuts and we will show some of that later. We are also going to need some rubber gloves, these are optional but they are very good to keep the clays in the different tile products out of the fingers, which is of great benefit. We are also going to need ear protection and it is very important, tile saws are very loud and can cause hearing damage rather quickly. We are also last but not least going to show that we need eye protection, one of the most important things when we are working with tools such as this and so let us go from there."
