Great little saw
Style: Wet Tile Saw
I'm a professional tile setter and mosaic artist. This is the best little table saw I've used so far. I bought it to take on small jobs (like showers and repairs) so I wouldn't have to lug one of the 10" overheads. I've had several little saws like this, but this one is by far the best. The included blade cuts really smoothly, which I didn't expect. The rulers and edge guide are fairly accurate (uncommon in a cheaper saw), and it's easy to use. My one negative is that the guard stand screw hits the tile if you're cutting any steeper than about 30 degrees, so you have to take the splash guard off to cut steeper angles (but if you're afraid of water, don't use a wet saw). It's a minor inconvenience that doesn't affect most general usage. The water pan is a bit shallow but if you keep a reload handy, it's adequate. I'm used to overhead saws with continuous feed so that may just be me. It will do the job for sure, though. Has plenty of power. I've only cut porcelain on it a few times, but it went right through and didn't chip. It's perfect for home improvement stuff. I'd recommend this saw over the other flat saws I've used. It's a great value for the money. If you've got a good eye and a steady hand, you could cut large tiles on this. I did. The table doesn't support them, but they go through just fine if you support them yourself. Free hand cuts are easy on this and the line feeds smoothly. If you're looking for a little job saw or want a decent diy tool, this will do it. ... show more

Great saw for a novice
Style: Wet Tile Saw
I agonized whether I would be able to do a decent job in tiling my kitchen backsplash. I bought some pretty expensive glass, marble and stainless tile and waited for the installer to come. And waited. I kept looking at all of the positive reviews of this wet saw and finally bit the bullet and ordered it. I kind of hoped the installer would miraculously show up before the saw, but no such luck. Curses Prime two-day shipping! I was really worried about ruining my tile or having problems with the saw cutting the stainless tiles (an overlay upon a porcelain tile). I first started with cutting strips of 1/2" thick marble tile that were used to frame a window. The cutting was very, very slow and before I finished my first strip the blade started to wobble. I cursed all of the positive reviewers. I then removed and re-installed the blade and tried again. It worked perfectly. I was able to cut through all types of tile with no problems. The clerk at the tile store told me to just go slow and I had to keep reminding myself of that. She also recommended putting painter's tape over the cutting surface and said that could help prevent chipping. My tape was a couple of years old and did not seem to stick all that well on the tile. Sometimes I did that; mostly I didn't. This worked brilliantly. I had 22 square feet of tile and had lots of cuts. The blade still seemed as sharp at the end of the project as the beginning. I am very, very happy with my purchase and am now looking around the house to see where else I can tile. The surface is small. It worked fine with my 1 foot mosaic and 1 foot square marble tiles, but I think big or heavy tiles would not work very well. I also had trouble seeing the measuring lines, so I marked my tiles directly rather than depend on them. Thanks to all of the other positive reviewers. Sorry for all of the bad thoughts I had of you! ... show more

Nice-featured tie saw for a very reasonable price!
Style: Wet Tile Saw
I bought this little tile saw to cut some 12x12 3/8" thick granite tiles for a bar top I am making. The saw cut through the tiles easily, at a feed rate of a bit over 1/4" per second - about 40 seconds for a through cut on the 12x12 tiles - without bogging down. That was fast enough for me, since I only needed to cut six tiles - four with straight cuts and two with 90 degree L cuts - for the drink well. I like the stainless steel table that will never rust, but I do wish that the table was larger - as it couldn't handle the short side of the L cuts, and I had to do them freehand. I wanted the cuts as straight and aligned as possible, so the cut edges will line up nicely to the wood I will use as outside molding without any gaps. It would have been nice to have a larger table that could accommodate these cuts. I taped the line to cut, and freehand-cut the short side - carefully staying right on the tape line, and was able to get a nearly-perfect straight cut of 4 3/4" The double-fastener rip fence is a bit of a chore to set, because you have to align and fasten each end separately - but once fastened it is extremely stable and will not move for repeated cuts. I did not use the miter gauge, so I can't comment on that feature. The supplied 7" blade has a 1/8" kerf, which was fine for the granite tiles I was cutting. Thin-kerf blades are widely available though, for cutting delicate porcelain or glass tiles. One feature that I do not really like all that much is the fixed water tray. I have used other brands of tile saws that have removable water trays, and I like that approach better because it makes cleaning the saw easier. That's just a minor thing though. The garden hose did a fine job of clean up. All in all, I think this is a good little saw for the money for small-to-medium DIY jobs. I like that I will have it around for the next time my wife decides that I need to retile one of our bathrooms or something! :) ... show more

Fine for small projects
Style: Wet Tile Saw
Worked well for my small tiling project. Assembly was very simple and the instructions were easy to understand. It was just big enough to cut 8” tiles while using the guide. Any bigger would require doing it free hand. All things considered, it’s worth the money.

Great saw for the money.
Style: Wet Tile Saw
Inexpensive no frills saw. I purchased to tile tub after using a scorer to snap one tile, which was a great decision. Very easy to make multiple cuts. I made sure all my walls were square and plumb and was able to make all cuts all the way up the wall with great accuracy at one time. Water well does need to be refilled after 10 cuts or so I would say, but is likely more dependent on your quickness/efficiency. To avoid tear out and chipping I tried taping the glazed surface of the tile with some blue tape I had laying around, which I abandoned because it had no affect on either the tear out or chipping (chipping was minimal anyway). I ended up cutting half way through the tile and with the same side touching the fence flipping the tile over to meet in the middle. With the tile I used this left a mildly uneven edge (which could have been due to fact that the tiles were lugged with built in spacers) which I quickly sanded to make more even. I only did this on tiles which would be showing on the edge and cut all the way through without sanding for corner tiles. With cutting all the way through the tile, the determinate of which side will have a torn out 1/8" or so was how hard the tile was fed and which side the pressure on the feed was given. The tear out happens because the non-cut portion becomes so thin it breaks but was very minimal and manageable after making a few cuts. Overall great saw. Paid a little more than renting (which would have likely had better quality results with reciprocating style), but was worth it to me with the size of the project to have it when I needed and to not feel rushed to get it back. Plus now I have a tile saw for the next time I need it and it is small enough to store nicely. ... show more

Affordable saw works well for small jobs
Style: Wet Tile Saw
I bought this saw because it was the same price as renting, and therefore more convenient to own and have available when I needed it. I'm tiling a breezeway floor with 4x8 travertine stone, 3/8" thick. I have to say, I can't believe the things people are reporting who give it a 1-star rating. This saw works GREAT. For those who say the blade guard jams, it appears that they didn't read the instructions, which clearly tell how to adjust its height higher than your work piece, so that it glides under the guard without binding, while offering safety and shielding from splashing. To the person who said the mounting screw holes were too big and he had to use longer screws and nuts, he didn't know how to assemble the guard. You remove the screws, slide the bracket UNDER the table top and put the screws back in, as it's the bracket that has the screw threads. I think people who don't read directions or don't have the skills to use tools are panning a good product. Yes, the fence is cheap, but if you take care lining it up and tighten the hold-down screws securely, the fence is straight and works well. The water tray should be filled often, as the blade doesn't really pick up water if the tray is less than half full, and then the blade gets hot and cuts a lot slower. Add water to the tray about every 3-4 tiles and it's just fine. I've cut 20 tiles so far and had no issues at all. Doesn't chip or bog down, blade guard minimizes splashing on you. I braced the saw against the railing of my deck so that as I push the tile, I'm holding the saw in place against the railing, and it doesn't move. No chips, no failures. Very happy with this purchase. ... show more

It cuts stone!
Style: Wet Tile Saw
I wasn't sure what to expect when I ordered this saw, but I am extremley pleased with this saw and it's ability to cut through slate and stackstone! Some background first- I am a 26 y/o female who considers myself to be fairly handy and enjoys DIY projects. My husband and I decided to tackle a DIY project of putting stackstone on our outdated tile fireplace. We talked to various experts and family members who all recommended we rent or buy a higher powered wet saw. They all said we'd need a high powered one to cut through the stackstone (1.25 inches thick) and slate tile. We really didn't want to buy a expensive tile saw since we don't have many projects we'd use it for and one day rentals can range $50-$80. We did our research and read plenty of reviews of this little saw and decided to take a chance on it. We are SO glad we did! First of all this saw is very easy to assemble. My husband had it put together and ready to go within 10 minutes. Secondly it is extremly easy to operate and make clean precise cuts. The only downside with this saw is that the table is fairly small and we were working with 6 x 24 panels of stackstone (aka ledgestone) so there was some manuvering/adjusting the stone as it went through the saw. Also, be sure not to fill the water reservior too full- it will splatter on you! (both of these were minor inconveniences since we were thrilled to find a saw for under $100 to complete this project!) One thing to keep in mind, if you're cutting stone or slate be sure to purchase a 7 inch segemented diamond blade. The blade it comes with won't be able to handle the density of the stone. Overall for the price, ease of use and ability to cut through stackstone I'd recommend it to anyone in the market for a wet tile saw for DIY projects. I'm already thinking of other places we can use this saw to complete projects! ... show more

A small, light saw, meant for small, light tiles
Style: Wet Tile Saw
A few things we learned from almost 100 torturous hours ripping tile with 2 of these saws: -- They're slow. Top speed, on a good day (brand new), they can rip only 5 inches of 3/8" porcelain tile in one minute. Bad days were half that. A single 12x24 tile took at least 5 minutes to rip once. -- The deck is small and made of lightweight metal that warps easily if you press on it, throwing it out of plumb with the saw blade. The guide rail on the longest side only goes up to 7 7/8". To deal with 12x24 tile, we had to build a side table exactly the same height as the saw and coat it with slick peel-and-stick vinyl. Better yet, just buy a second saw immediately and use that as a side table. -- The blades will be slightly misaligned. Set the guide rail to 0" and you can see how far off the blade is, and try to compensate. One of our saws was an even 1/16" off, both sides of the blade. The other was correct on one side of the blade, but 1/16" out on the other, causing the blade to bind constantly until we figured this out. -- Buy a dressing stone when you buy this saw. After about 20 feet of cutting (that's just 10 rips for our tile) the blade started to become noticeably duller, requiring much more force and a longer amount of time to get a tile through the saw. A few cuts on a dressing stone helped, but never quite brought it back to like-new. -- Be very, very careful when you install the blade, because it's easy to mess up and may ruin the saw. The blade perches just on the edge of its shaft, and it's easy for it to slip while you're tightening down the washer that holds it in place. If this happens, it may slip off a little without your realizing it -- until you try to cut a tile, and it suddenly jumps around on you. This happened to me after I tried to upgrade our blade mid-project, and after that, no matter what blade I used, the saw vibrated a lot at cut at a much slower speed (now only 2 inches per minute). -- The included saw blade is an unusual width, which nobody seems to sell separately. Upgrading to a different manufacturer's blade, the guide rail became even more noticeably off in its measurements, plus the remainder pieces from our ripping became a different size (and we had been planning to use those.) -- Keep a big pitcher of ice-cold water at hand for the reservoir, and be ready to muck out the reservoir often. When you cut a tile, the material you're removing goes straight into that reservoir, and it doesn't take long before the water in the reservoir to become cloudy with porcelain, dulling your cuts and making it hard to see what you're doing. And if you're cutting large-format tile, the water used in the cutting process will probably run off of your tile and all over your saw table, depleting the reservoir. That meant we had to refill ours after every single rip. In short, there's a reason this saw is under $100. If you're ripping large format tile, don't put yourself through 12 days of agony like we did. Get a saw meant for large format tile, and not this one. Yes, they're far more expensive. Trust me though, it's worth it. ... show more
