The most common wet saw consists of a diamond saw blade rotating about a horizontal axis with a reservoir pan being located beneath the saw blade for retaining a Coolant which is continuously pumped from the reservoir onto the saw blade while the saw blade is in use.  A sliding platform or table mounts on tracks directly within their resident reservoir providing for moving a work piece underneath the circular saw Blade.  Such a construction is shown in US patent number 3, 635, 206issues January 18, 1972 to HARCLEROGE.  More modern wet saws, especially those with smaller diamond blades, try moving the motor with blade attached over the material to be cut, while leaving the platform stationery.  Still, the platform must be kept stationery and flat because of the coolant reservoir directly beneath as in a drip pan. 

Unlike conventional saws, the sliding tray of most Mason's wet saw cannot be permitted to have any angle adjustments relative to the saw blade.  This is required because the mounting tracks on which the platform slides are, as described above, located directly in the cooling reservoir, which would spill its contents if tipped out of the horizontal plane.  Therefore, because the platform is not adjustable, a separate miter guide attachment must be provided on the platform. There are those that do have platforms in which a section can be tilted, primarily, only for cutting a miter on a flat tile edge and are of little to no use in cutting radius or odd shaped masonry products.

There exists a need for our quick, safe consistent platform to assist in cutting miters on ceramic radius edge trim tiles.  Radius edge trim tiles and caps are frequently used as decorative trim and edge pieces in many modern ceramic and Masonry installations. One of the more difficult challenges a tile mason faces is the consistent cutting of 45° and 22 1/2 degree angles in order to make smooth joints and transitions around the corners and in other locations, as well as with common decorative trim patterns.  This problem is exasperated when using radius tile caps, chair rails, ropes, crowns, base, and many others.  These style are much more difficult to lay on a smooth flat surface to use with a standard table style cutting blade.  While substantial art exists for measuring tiled cuts and even for drawing complex angles.  This art is often complex and does not address the basic need for 45° and 22 1/2 degree angles, as well as a holding the tile/radius edge trim pieces to be cut in a quick safe fashion. 

 A common answer to this problem among Mason's is to cut these angles from 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 lumber.  Wood is not the ideal material to be used around modern diamond saw blades for a number of reasons, among these reasons is size, in particular, the width of the 2 x 4 or2x6 typically 1 3/4". Set this height is not deep enough of a platform to support pieces at a proper height to the sliding platform.  Another drawback to this solution is a 1/4" radius edge that allows for a tight and square platform for tile V cap piece fit while making these complex cuts.  The practice of making these wooden angles, demands, separate wooden block pieces for 45° and 22 1/2 degree angles.  The president convention substantially departs from the conventional solutions.  Namely wooden angles, and designs of prior art.  In doing so provides standard tile saws an accessory that assists in the safe, precise miter cutting of radius edge masonry trims and tile cap pieces. 

 One of the solutions for this problem is shown in the example, US patent number 6, 082, 723 Matthews, which shows a base for cutting 45° angles on standard bull nose tile cap.  The patent does not disclose the type of material; said base is to be manufactured of.  Neither does it allow for other types of trim masonry pieces, such as V cap nor 22 1/2 degree angle miter cuts.

This design does not allow for a saw blade guide, allowing the saw blade to cut radius material safely and without harming the blade.
