The Makita 12V Max CXT Lithium-ion 3-3/8 inch Tile and Glass Saw features a compact design that’s engineered for ease-of-use and maneuverability. The saw (model CC02R1) weighs just 4.2 pounds with a 2.0 amp hour battery installed. The portability of this compact tool makes it suitable for a number of tasks. These include small tile cutting, cuts on glass tile, and shaping tile for toilets, corners, and other applications.
The Makita 12V Tile Saw has a no-load blade speed of 1,600 RPM. You get a 1-inch cutting depth which should work for most tile jobs we can imagine. Also, the onboard 16.9-ounce water supply tank handles wet cutting and eliminates dust. The kit includes the saw, 3-3/8″ diamond blade (tile/glass), two 12V Max CXT 2.0 amp hour batteries, a battery charger, and a tool case.
