Pro-Grade 7" Bench Top Wet Tile Saw - 1/2 HP 3600 RPM Reviews
I also received this as a gift but I knew I wanted it because it was on my wishlist. I even used this saw for scoring lines on my 12x8 retaining wall blocks and it scored and made cuts nicely. Construction is quite sturdy, the whole ting is quite heavy and mine is all metal. Other people have suggested buying a new blade and I might give that a shot as well. The saw performed well except it didn't cut the travertine as fast as the ceramic.
So far I have used it for a travertine backsplash and ceramic tiles. When I first found this product it had a 1 star review because someone bought it for their husband and gave it one star and said "got it as a gift, not sure about product". I am always irritated about reviews like that so I figured I would add my own to this product. For the price this is a good saw for the DIYer and small projects around the house. Fence is nice, I have adjusted the latch to provide a tighter grip on the surface.
I put the blame for that on the blade since the RPMs are sufficient.
With the new blade, it cut through the Travertine stone tiles like butter. I was pleased to see the sturdy metal construction and found it to have plenty of power to cut my 4 x 4 Travertine tiles. I bought this saw to do a kitchen backsplash project. The saw blade that comes with it is 'el cheapo'. Overall, this is a great saw for the DIY. I spent another $35 bucks on a DeWalt diamond blade and was very pleased with the performance.
The motor had such a vibration to it that I was afraid to run it. I then bought the little 4" PlasPlug wet saw in it's place and it performed like a charm and I used it to make 145 cuts on my tile for the floor.
The blade guard and it's mounting bracket didn't come close to fitting or lining up with the blade, in fact the bracket rubbed on the blade no matter how it was adjusted. The tool was built like a cheap toy.
I had a 200 square foot kitchen floor to tile and thought heck I'll buy a saw rather than rent one so I searched and searched and thought this one would be good. The saw arrived and it was just a joke.
Do yourself a favor and don't order this saw. I contacted the seller and sent this thing back ASAP.
The blade guard is very important because it's what keeps the water from creating a "rooster tail" and keeps the water focused on the tile and around the blade.
The saw has plenty of rpms to handle granite, so it should work really well with anything else. I bought a good blade after trying the one that comes with the saw. It is mostly metal, not plastic. The guide fence is fine, but dont trust the scale, measure yourself. The saw performed fine. Investing the few extra dollars was well worth it.
Delivery was fast. It will wet you, but most wet saws will. This is a good saw for the DIY. I just finished doing my countertops with 12x12 granite tiles. You cant beat the price, it would cost you almost as much to rent a wet saw for a day.
Just make sure you throw away the blade that comes with it, it is trash.
