The DeWalt DWC860W is a handheld wet/dry tile saw built around a 10.8 amp (1,300 W) motor that spins a 4-3/8 inch diamond blade at up to 13,000 rpm. It cuts ceramic, porcelain, granite and concrete up to 1-3/8 inches deep, bevels to 45 degrees, and feeds water through a 12-foot line to control dust and extend blade life. At 6.6 lbs it is light enough to carry to a bathroom or backsplash job, and the lock-on button and rubber overmold grip help during long cuts. It suits tilers and remodelers who want a compact hand-held saw for cuts a benchtop saw cannot reach; its 2.6-out-of-5 rating from 14 buyers suggests reception is mixed, so weigh the convenience against the reported shortcomings.

The DeWalt DWC860W is a handheld tile cutter that works wet or dry. Its 10.8 amp (1,300 watt) motor cuts granite, porcelain, concrete and other stone materials, as well as ceramics. It weighs 6.6 lbs and is compact.
It comes with a 4 3/8" diamond blade that cuts up to 1 3/8" deep. Depth of cut is adjustable, and the tool bevels up to 45 degrees for angled cuts. A 12' water line feeds water to the blade, which reduces dust and increases blade performance and life.
A lock-on button reduces fatigue during production cuts. The switch is dust sealed to protect the unit from contamination. A rubber overmold grip adds comfort.
