Scratches Glossy Porcelain Tiles

The unit leaves a light scratch on porcelain tiles. I have several with Scratches I didn't notice right away. There should be a plastic bottom to attach when cutting tiles.

Just right for small jobs

It’s great for ceramic tile 1/4” or less. I don’t know about 3/8-1/2” tiles. Easy to assemble; wet cuts are easy. (needs VERY LITTLE water pressure. Just a trickle will do) Easy to disassemble and to clean. If you have a work table, a 1/2-1” cutting support surface under your material, clamps aren’t even needed. Just firm/gentle pressure to hold the tile steady. Works as easily as a circular saw.

Not accurate

This is not a great saw for accurate cuts. They base plate is not sturdy enough and gets out of square to the blade very easily. They sliding mechanism is what holds the back of the saw up and it also provides the lateral support, but it moves easily laterally so the base is not square. If you are free handing a cut it might be okay, but if you want to use a straight edge as a guide the base plate being out of square is a massive problem.

Surprisingly good for large format

This worked great for extra large format tiles. I put up 60x30 tiles in a shower and used this saw with a locking guide to make long cuts. Probably should’ve replaced the blade half way through as it wore out quicker than expected, but I finished the project! I wouldn’t have been able to do the job without this saw. My table saw is too small to handle and at this price it’s well worth it.

Perfect for large Porcelain Tiles

Using a straight edge and to keep the saw on track makes this saw a perfect tool for tiles. Nice clean cuts fast and straight. The money spent on this little saw has saved my shower project

Saw is ok but mesh blade doesn’t fit!

I bought this saw on a whim for a few simple cuts since it was only $99. I needed the micro mesh blade as well since the supplied blade leaves a visibly poor edge. Unbelievably, the micro mesh blade made by Kobalt and sold right next to it on the shelf does NOT fit the saw due to its thick hub. I was so disappointed, I returned everything.
