The answer is their Q-Drive blade with Cool Cut Tech- nology. Their proprietary composition of diamond blade concentration, metal type, and flange thickness actu- ally “cuts cool” while reducing vibration and movement. Engineered to cut dry, the blade actually stays cool to the touch without warping or wandering. The built-in vacuum on the iQTS244™ air-cools the blade while removing debris, so the blade won’t be regrinding the same material. This process reduces friction and heat. iQ Power Tools has a thorough understanding of the construction process and the subsequent stress it puts on your tools. As a result, the iQTS244™ is built for the demands of everyday construction’s heavy workload. It’s easy to maintain, and is produced to last for many years. “We are thrilled with the performance of the saw,” stated James Woelfel, Chairman NTCA Executive Committee. iQ Power Tools envisions a future where its innovation helps to create a 100% dust-free environment: job- sites are safer, work practices are healthier... and, the construction industry becomes even more sustainable. Eliminating dust from your jobsite is smart. It saves time. It saves money. It saves lives. www.iqpowertools.com | 888-274-7744 Founded by third-generation masons, iQ Power Tools has been providing the construction industry with tough, construction-grade tools. Decades of experience in the industry have taught iQ about the multitude of problems caused by dust and slurry. Not only do they make a huge mess, which ultimately costs a great deal of mon- ey to clean-up, but more importantly, dust and slurry pose a sizable threat to the health and safety both to construction workers… and, those walking through the work area. To address these concerns, iQ Power Tools manufactures a comprehensive/constantly growing range of professional power tools equipped with inte- grated dust collection systems for concrete, masonry, hardscape… and now the tile industry. Introducing the iQTS244®, a 10” dry-cut tile saw specifically created for professional tile installation contractors. With the world’s first fully integrated dust control technology, this innovative tool allows for tile to be cut inside or outside… with no water and no dust! In addition, it is lightweight, compact with built in wheels for easy transport to and from the work area. 100% compliant with the new OSHA standard on respirable silica dust, the iQTS244® was engineered specifically for professional contractors to eliminate the myriad of problems caused by cutting with water. The iQTS244® utilizes a three-stage filtration system, which captures up to 99.5% of dust. All the dust from the cut- ting point passes through this filtration system, ultimate- ly captured in the dust tray for easy clean up.
