Abstract
Abstract A ceramic tile cutting apparatus utilizes a motor driven blower device to collect ceramic dust into a container providing vertical support to the cutting apparatus. A drawer is employed to collect the dust and may be slideably disengaged passing through a drawer accommodating opening in in the container. The motor and blower assembly is secured to the container covering an opening therein. A filter is removably disposed intermediate a housing containing the motor and blower assembly and the opening in the container. The container is spaced above a resting surface by resilient rubber-like feet preventing vibration and noise. An opening in the container communicates to a portion of a circular cross-sectioned blade, having a silicon carbide covering, passing dust particles to within the container maintained at a pressure level lower than atmospheric, by the rotation of the blower assembly.
