Abstract
An enclosure for using a tile saw is described. The enclosure comprises a rectangular tray having a front, a rear, and two side walls and a bottom surface wherein the bottom surface is inclined from a first height adjacent to the front wall to a second height adjacent to the rear wall wherein the second height is lower with respect to top surfaces of the front, rear, and side walls than the first height wherein the tray is configured to have a tile saw used therein. Two side panels, a rear panel, and a top panel are configured to be joined together to form a waterproof box on three sides and top of the tray so that water used to cool a tile saw blade is not sprayed outside of the waterproof box.
Claims20
An enclosure for using a tile saw comprising:
- a rectangular tray having a front, a rear, and two side walls and a bottom surface wherein said bottom surface is inclined from a first height adjacent to said front wall to a second height away from said front wall wherein said second height is lower with respect to top surfaces of said front, rear, and side walls than said first height wherein said tray is configured to have a tile saw used therein;
- and
- two side panels, a rear panel, and a top panel configured to be joined together to form a waterproof box on three sides and top of said tray so that water used to cool a tile saw blade is not sprayed outside of said waterproof box;
- and
- at least two rails in said tray, configured to facilitate sliding a tile saw from one side of said tray to another side of said tray, from front to back of the tray, or diagonally on said rails.
A method for cutting tile comprising:
- providing an enclosed work station comprising:
- a rectangular tray having a front, a rear, and two side walls and a bottom surface wherein said bottom surface is inclined from a first height adjacent to said front wall to a second height away from said front wall wherein said second height is lower with respect to top surfaces of said front, rear, and side walls than said first height;
- and
- two side panels, a rear panel, and a top panel configured to be joined together to form a waterproof box on three sides and top of said tray;
- and
- at least two rails in said tray, configured to facilitate sliding a tile saw from one side of said tray to another side of said tray, from front to back of the tray, or diagonally on said rails;
- and
- cutting tile using a tile wet saw within said enclosed work station wherein water spray from said tile wet saw remains within said enclosed work station.
A method for preparing a waterproof enclosure for cutting tile comprising:
- providing an enclosure comprising:
- a rectangular tray having a front, a rear, and two side walls and a bottom surface wherein said bottom surface is inclined from a first height adjacent to said front wall to a second height away from said front wall wherein said second height is lower with respect to top surfaces of said front, rear, and side walls than said first height and a lip extending an entire length of said rear and side walls along a top surface of said rear and side walls;
- two side panels,
- a rear panel, and
- a top panel, each of said side panels, rear panel, and top panel being configured to snap, slide, or lock together;
- locking each of said two side panels onto said lip of said side walls of said tray,
- thereafter locking said rear panel to said lip of said rear wall of said tray and locking in place said side panels to said rear panel;
- placing said top panel on top of locked in place said side and rear panels and
- sliding, snapping, or locking said top panel onto said side panels and said rear panel, thereby providing a waterproof box;
- and
- cutting tile using a tile wet saw inside said enclosure wherein water used to cool a blade of said tile wet saw is not sprayed outside of said waterproof box.
