What would cause the wet saw to not cut straight tile?

SOURCE: Tile Saw

i know blades on tile saws don't have to be super tight, i'm not familar with that kind of saw, i put a wrench on the nut and hold on to the blade with my hand and hit the wrench with a rubber mallet, and of course have the unit unplugged

SOURCE: Wet tile saw just stopped cutting; I only cleaned

How thick is the diamond bearing segment running around the rim of the blade? There needs to be at least an eighth inch. The last part contains no diamonds. If their is sufficient diamond left the material you were cutting may not have been abrasive enough to expose new sharp diamods. You can cut a small piece of asphalt. This will wear the matrix down so new diamonds are exposed.

Sometimes a blade that is set deep enough will walk in this manner, especially if it is a thin kerf blade like the MK Hotdog blade.

Also, a blade which has worn unevenly will do this too.

SOURCE: Ridgid Wet Tile saw water pump operates, however

I'd check the outlets where under the blade guard where the water comes out and adjust them to spray towards the blade. Broomstraw???
