A tile or masonry saw assembly may include a saw and a frame. The saw includes a motor operable to turn a blade of a blade assembly to cut a workpiece. The blade assembly is internally wetted during operation by nozzles disposed on opposing sides of the blade to provide water onto the blade within a blade guard configured to shield a portion of the blade. The frame is operably coupled to the saw to support the workpiece. The frame supports a water collecting system for collecting the water. The water collecting system includes a water tank that is removable from the frame.

A tile or masonry saw assembly may include a saw, a frame, and a workpiece support. The saw includes a motor operable to turn a blade assembly to cut a workpiece. The frame is operably coupled to the saw to enable the saw to be moved along the frame in a first direction. The workpiece support is operably coupled to the frame to support the workpiece relative to the saw, and to allow the workpiece support to be moved along the frame. The saw assembly further includes a movement assembly via which both movement of the workpiece support and movement of the saw relative to the frame is accomplished, such that a movement of the work piece support along the frame in a second direction is enabled to cause the saw to move along the frame in the first direction which is opposite the second direction.

A wall saw comprising:a carriage (2);a saw arm (11) pivotally mounted to the carriage;a rotatable spindle (10) rotatably mounted to the saw arm and configured for connection to a saw blade; andan electric drive motor (13) for rotating the spindle. The rotor (36) of the drive motor comprises a rotor hub (66) which is operatively connected to the output shaft (14) of the drive motor through a safety clutch (67) so as to allow torque to be transmitted from the rotor hub to the output shaft via the safety clutch, the safety clutch being configured to allow mutual rotation between the rotor hub (66) and the output shaft (14) when said torque reaches a given threshold value. The safety clutch (67) is accommodated in a space inside the rotor hub (66).
