Available in March of 2011 with a retail price of $169.95, the SkatePlateH20 is our standard SkatePlate equipped with a water jet system that greatly reduces if not eliminates dust making, and as such is the perfect solution for tile, granite, masonry, concrete, or any like task.
A button that attaches just above the saw trigger activates the flow of water as needed. Take your thumb off the button and the flow stops. The stream of water shoots across the blade in such a manner as to not only keep things cool, lubricated, and dustless; it also prevents slurry from building up in the saw housing making for an easier clean up. Also, as the spray nozzle is aimed facing the blade, water will not pool up in front of the saw erasing any markings you may have made.
The SkatePlate will not interfere with the depth of your cut allowing for cuts up to 2-1/4" in depth for expansion joint cuts and just like the dry version, you will always be on a smooth, straight track that will not be hindered by inconsistencies in the surface you are working on.
Be it a garden hose or a pressurized water canister, secure your water source and you are good to go.
