Notes

A wet tile saw is a water-cooled cutting tool where wear concentrates on the blade, pump, bearings, and motor components. Repair can make sense when a low-cost part (switch, pump, brush set) restores safe operation.

Replace is often smarter if the motor is failing, the arbor/bearing wear affects cut accuracy, or corrosion and water ingress cause repeated electrical issues. Safety is key-if guards or switches can't be restored reliably, replacement is recommended.
