6.5 Amp Corded 7 in. Table Top Wet Tile Saw with Stand

Like many of other reviews on here have stated, the aluminum base marks your tile gray. I cross cut 12"x24" high gloss glazed porcelain tiles. Cutting them face down to prevent chipping. Table top left gray streaks and scratches on each end. The streaks do not wash off, and the scratches ruined the tile. I had to get the job done, so i placed parchment paper down and that protected from scratching. There must be a burr or sharp edge on the grooves of the saw top. Saw functioned well.

The stand is what makes this a great buy. Easy fill and empty sump for the water. The guides are a necessity for all different types of cuts. Overall it is better than renting one, it will save you money and your wife will want more tile work done anyway...

My contractor friend and expert tile installer came over to help me install some tile. I was expecting him to bring his huge "sliding table" tile saw, but showed up with this one. I'd never seen him use it before and asked about it. He explained he was on a job cutting glass tile, needed a fresh blade and ran over to Home Depot, saw this little one and thought it might work better for him so he bought it and immediately loved it. "I use it for everything now except very large tiles." I was doing the cutting and quickly agreed. First of all, the machine is light, so you can carry it just about anywhere. Second, the ruler/fence guide is delightfully precise and the fence is perfectly aligned and parallel with the blade (you can adjust alignment). Since I have a lot of tile to hang in this house, six months ago I bought my own (rather than borrow his all the time) and the only thing I wonder about is why Home Depot never asked me to review it. THIS IS A PERFECT HOME-OWNER SAW. It's well made but fairly inexpensive. It's also easy to clean as there are no pumps or hoses. Two things I don't like about it is first, that it sprays a fine mist at the person cutting and second, the reservoir's drain hole is in a bad spot and not at a lower point in the reservoir itself. I fixed the spray problem with a little board that I stand on the table between me and the blade (see image) and second, I stole one of my wife's cookie sheets, drilled a hole in one end slide it under the saw so when I open the drain, the water drains onto the cookie sheet and then into a bucket below. In the image, you can just see the back edge of the cookie sheet under the saw. Also note, I raise the saw up on 3/4" boards so the cookie sheet will fit underneath. If the table was two inches longer in front, it would be easier to cut sheeted tiles that currently hang over the front edge of the table when you start to cut. Ditto the back edge of the table but then, a larger table would cost more, make it heavier and harder to store and transport. I use very hot water on cold days and it's easy to drain, clean and refill so I can keep the water hot! Trust me, this is a very good saw.

Good tile saw. Only issue is tile difficult to feed through when passing guard support.

I bought this tile saw to put marble tile in the shower in my bathroom. The blade they provided ripped through the marble no problem throughout the duration of the project, around 75 square feet of wall space. You MUST set the saw up according to the directions (aligning the fence/ rip guide with the blade) or else you will have a hard time making longer cuts like some of the other reviewers. The complaints I read in some of the other reviews seemed irrelevant, like tile chips accumulating on the table and having to wipe them off, tile chipping, difficulty cleaning, etc. This is my first tile saw but I imagine those are issues you will have with any tile saw. I would give it 5 stars but I think the fence design could be better.

Very happy with this tile saw. It is a quality saw and a good price. Just know that it is not a sliding table, nor a radial saw... both of which are quite a bit more expensive. The draw back is that you push the tile on the table to cut it, and small tile pieces can and do get underneath the tile as you go. It wasn't much of a problem, but if you're doin extremely precise work, you might want to spend the extra $$ for a sliding table or radial arm tile saw. That said, this is a wonder saw for the price.

Very easy and safe to use

Another excellent RIGID product! We tried cutting three different types of tiles: regular kitchen/bathroom tile, a thin brick type tile and a thick heavy floor tile. It cut through all of them like a hot knife through butter leaving flat smooth edges. It is surprisingly neat and tidy. The water is added to the basin below the blade. I thought it would fling water everywhere as it cut. Not so. It's self contained and easy to empty when done. When I think of the miles and miles of tiles we've worked with over the years and the time and money we could have saved it makes me appreciate this quality product all the more.

I discovered broken tiles around the fireplace in my rental, after the tenants left. I never cut tiles before, on a table saw, so I thought this would be an interesting challenge. I assembled this Ridgid table top wet tile saw following the instructions & was pleasantly surprised at how solidly this unit is constructed. Not only could I make straight cuts, but also miter cuts, with it's miter guide. Also, bevel cuts can be made by tilting up the bevel table to either a 22.5, or 45 degree angle. I secured this table saw to a work station, installed the included cutting blade, with the included wrenches. I also installed the: overflow drain, rip guide, rear support table ( for big tiles ), & splash hood. The assembly was very quick & easy. I marked a line on the tile, where I wanted to cut, using a color pencil. After finding the dimension I needed to cut, on the table rip guide scale, I adjusted & solidly secured the rip guide, using the push down paddle lever, at the end of the rip guide. The water tank for this wet tile saw is below the table top. Two markings, one for minimum & one for maximum amount of water, are clearly visible. The maximum was reached with about a half gallon of water. I snap closed the table top lid & was about ready to work. I turned on the saw, held the tile solidly against the rip guide fence & slowly pushed the tile into the saw. The saw blade is partially sitting in the water, so when the blade is turning, some water is drawn up on the blade to lubricate the blade, as it is cutting the tile. I was very pleasantly surprised, the cutting of the tile couldn't have been smoother & easier. The cut edge of the tile was smooth, to the touch. To keep from chipping the tile, at the end of the cut, I first cut into the tile about 1.5", then flipped over the tile & cut all the way through. The instruction manual has many great cutting tips. I also slipped the miter guide onto the rip guide fence & cut a piece of tile at a 45 degree angle. The miter guide can be adjusted from 0-to-45 degrees, in either direction. The table top has grooves in it & around the sides, to channel any water that may accumulate on it, back into the water tank, below. After cutting the tiles, I emptied the water out of the tank, under the saw, by simply removing the overflow plug, from the bottom of the tank. The water quickly runs out. I was careful where I emptied the water, since the water has tile particle dust in it. This is A GREAT PRODUCT!

A great wet saw that precisely cuts tile, offers a large sturdy table and has convenient options. This saw is great for DIYers as it is easy to move around and clean. It is also fairly simply to use. The 15" x 21" table allows you to cut a variety of tile sizes. The saw also keep the water on the tile and deck; just a very light mist escapes. It is okay to use indoors. Convenient features on the saw include a cord holder, blade wrench holder, a back deck extension for long rip-cuts, a see-through blade guard, an easy to adjust guard (fence) and an easy on/off switch. Each leg of the saw has a screw hole for attaching it to a table. I am not sure if this will fit on a stand. See pictures and the video in this review. The saw and table sit solid with no movement and a gutter system around the table channels water back into the basin. Ridges on the table help channel the water to the gutters. The guard (or fence) to the saw is easy to adjust, it slides smoothly and locks firmly into place. There is only one lock, no need to lock it on both sides. The guard is square but can be knocked out of square if you are not careful or if you push to hard into it with the tile. If the guard is ever out of square you can adjust it. The saw comes with an angle cut tool for 0-45 degree angle cuts. It attaches easily to the guard. The blade that comes with the saw is a great standard blade. I cut slate and porcelain with it. In the video, I cut a porcelain tile and it does a pretty good job. The tile gets nicks along the cut which is typical for these saws. This can usually be alleviated by turning the tile upside down but I noticed that the metallic coating on the table will rub onto the tile and 'stain' it. (see video) I could not remove all the marks from the tile. This is the only downside to this saw, but a potentially big one, and the reason for the 4 stars.
