The Diamond Tech Crafts Diamond Elite is a benchtop band saw built for stained glass and ceramic tile. It has a 10" x 12" table, a recirculating water pump to cool the blade and control dust, a built-in light, and variable speed. Its 1/7 hp motor and 10-inch blade cut material up to 1 inch thick. Compared with tile saws, it makes cleaner curved cuts and runs quieter, but it is slower on long straight cuts and not meant for large tiles or thick stone.

Stained glass hobbyists praise the Diamond Elite for clean curved cuts and the water pump that keeps dust down. Some find the motor weak for thicker glass and note that the water system requires regular upkeep.
