Ratings & Reviews for SKIL SKIL 7-IN BENCHTOP TILE SAW

Good little saw was able to cut 36 inch ceramic tile with it could be better the water trays a little bit small I ended up flipping it upside down and drilling a couple of holes in the water tray and putting it in a cement mixing tray and it seemed to work great after that got several tiles without changing the water or the blade jamming up I would recommend this saw to anybody I'm sure with the quality blade on it it would do even better

Skil 7 in wet tables aw

It works Excellent But the water tray get dirty and have 2 refill it. It really needs a small water line to the blade rather than a tray of water that get dirty

nice tile saw for smaller projects

Easy to setup and use. Good for small projects. No water pump- you fill a water reservoir, but filled my needs.

Tile Cutter

Works great for tile projects. We cut tile for 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchen backsplash with the same blade (which is included)!

Great little saw at an unbeatable price

I used this saw for a backsplash, which was small cut stone panels. And I used it for our fireplace surround, which were also cut stones panels, some with stones about 1/4-- 1/2" thick. This little saw did a great job on both. Considering rentals are upwards of $75, which I would have had to do twice, this saw was an unbeatable value and more than paid for itself after the first job. My only "complaints" would be that it does get dirty often, especially with stone, and because the water res...

Adequate

This saw cuts well, but you try purchasing a different blade. I purchased the saw to cut tile for some backsplashes. The fence is pretty worthless unless you are cutting very small tiles. It is worth the money and better than most in this price range. If you are doing large floor tiles, invest in a more expensive saw.

It's OK

It does cut the ceramic tiles ok BUT, the long rip bar doesn't lock down well and tends to slide when trying to lock into place. The attachment to angle cut will probably only work on a 4 x 4 tile. Anything larger and it will not fit. So it will work in some instances but I would say if you need to cut tiles for a floor that people will see and you want it to look nice, you should probably go for a better ie more expensive saw if you can afford it. I have not used those but hopefully they woul...

Great Price, good product

So all these 1 and 2 star reviews kinda confuse me. Clearly a bunch of people who should pay someone else to do the job - Or go on youtube and learn how to cut tile properly. The saw is definitely the best value ive found and cuts at similar quality to any other table top tile saw that i have used, and i have used A LOT. Read the instructions on how to assemble the saw. Its not that hard. Took about 10 mins to do and do right. If you watch a little youtube and pay attention, you dont need the gu...

Cuts Slowly

I did a kitchen backsplash project with this tile saw. It cuts tile but very slowly - more than two minutes to cut a 12 in ceramic tile - and requires considerable force to push the tile through. I ended up cutting the last tiles with my angle grinder. I watched the video reviews of this cutter before buying but I'm convinced that they must have sped up the video to make it look faster than it is. I have purchased a different blade. Maybe it will work better.

What A Deal!

BUY THIS. IF you can find one. Lowes has these on sale right now for $71 and it's worth every penny and more. I opened the box yesterday and put it together. The only problem I had was the two screws for the gizmo that keeps you from getting wet. I had to put them in from the underside, but besides that, it cut porcelain tile like butter. Can't wait to finish my tile job this week.

Good for what it is

For the rating you have to keep in mind this is a small table top saw without a separate water pump. Cooling is by a small tray beneath the blade that holds less than a quart of water. I used this for a tile backsplash and it worked about as well as you'd expect for the price. The blade is okay and even going slowly, I had some chips as I cut through the mosaic pieces. As other reviews have stated you get sprayed with water as you are cutting and you have to frequently clean out the reservoir tr...

Great for the price

I used this for my master bathroom where i put in 8*8 ceramic tile. Cut the tile like butter, very clean. Don't overfill water, it will spray everywhere when you cut, mostly on your shirt and face. For the price I was very pleased.

Ok for do it yourself easy to use and easy to clean.

Very convenient and easy to use

The saw is easy to carry, easy to set up and easy to use. It is invaluable when cutting stone tiles.

A nice clean cut

Really nice to use just about anywhere. Always a smooth clean cut.

awesome quality and result

I did not expect much from this saw and bought it because a more expensive saw i had ordered kept getting delayed in fulfillment. But, Oh, Man!!! Great results cutting mosaic gkass tiles for my backsplash. Yep, the glass pieces blew out at the end of most of my cuts, but knowing that, i just compensated for the limits of this type of tool—which I found was inherent to even the more expensive tile saws of this type. For the less-than-eighty-bucks i paid on sale for this saw, I saved over a thousa...

Great tool at a fair price.

Works so well, used it on my kitchen tile backsplash reno. Very little mess with the water splashing but made cutting tiles so easty. Awesome product!

Good tile saw

Good tile saw for do it yourself projects. Cuts the tiles well and easy to set up and use.
