Ratings & Reviews for Kobalt 5.8 -Amp 7-in -Blade Tabletop Tile Saw

Great saw for the money

This is my 4th saw trying to do this tile job my wife got us roped into doing at home. First and second the tile cutter that you scratch and then try to break the tile - it broke the tile alright but not where I wanted it to - third was the small hand held saw, just returned it without trying and broke down to buy this saw - glad I did zipping along now. Cuts the Porcelain tiles like butter. Should have bought this saw right off the bat. Read someone's review and they stated that the stand was c...

Great Saw

I can't speak from experience using other more expensive saws, but I'll say that this little saw has been great for the projects I've used it for. I've cut ceramic tile, porcelain and most recently marble tile and it hasn't skipped a beat. So long as you're mindful to make sure the fence is square to the blade it does a great job. I'm sure that if I were doing this day after day I would see the benefit in a higher end saw, but for the average DIY handman this saw is the perfect thing to make sho...

Cut marble well

Wish the laser line and led could be used at the same time. AAA Batteries not included. Had to drill one leg to make it work. The stand was poorly made but the saw works well.

Great for the DIY warrior

Purchased this saw for a weekend backsplash project. Brought the box home, opened it and to my surprise there was a stand that took about 10 minutes to assemble, a tile saw that I just had to pull out and set on top of the stand. I added water to the tile saw reservoir, plugged it in and began cutting. I was cutting the glass mosaic tiles so I can't vouch for other types, but for the job I was doing it was perfect. I didn't use the laser guide ( because of the reviews I read ) I just lined the s...

Excellent choice- good value

Actually purchased this saw for my nephew and he loves it! I hired him to tile my sunroom and instead of renting one, I decided to purchase this for him as he tiles all the time on the side. He usually rents saws worth over $1000 that are very heavy to move around. He says that it is doing a great job, precise and easy to use, heavy enough for stability, but it's light enough to easily put it back into the storage room at night. He enjoys the light feature. Said it does just a good a job at cutt...

Very good

It's a good deal for the price. Does not use up very much water works very well

Does the job

The tile saw does all that it was advertised to do. My only complaint is the size of the table is not large enough to use the guide with larger tiles. No problem, just draw a line and follow it with the cut. The guide worked well when I made cuts the table could handle. Good saw for the handyman doing small jobs.

Very good tile saw

Works great but it really covers the tile and work surface with water. I didn't find the light or the laser to be very useful. I didn't use the stand. I just put it on a table. Just add water and saw. Made good straight cuts. Relatively fast.

Kobalt 7-in Tile Saw with Stand

This saw is worth every penny!!!!

This saw is very fairly priced. It works great and isn't too heavy to be able to move easily. The cutting guide is a great plus and super helpful when cutting long tile. I just re-tiled my kitchen last weekend and this saw cut my time by HOURS! I loved that the water reservoir was easy to fill without opening the little trap door.

The perfect saw for the do it your self person.

Very easy to use very little mess easy clean up

A D-I-Y-er's DREAM!!

After reading all the reviews(and EXCELLENT POINTERS) here, I took the plunge (literally) and bought this saw.. UNREAL! It comes ALL SET UP, you basically fill the basin with water and go! About the basin, maybe I got a dud, but I filled up past the minimum line only to have all the water gush right past the stopper and onto my floor!! Turns out, my stopper works only when the water is filled to minimum....NOW I KNOW, LOL! Second tip I haven't seen here, but really threw me, was when I had a ti...

Nice Saw for a Good Price

This saw is a very good value. The only two cons I have found is the off switch for the laser light is very touchy and can easily be slid pass the off position. The other is the table is quickly becoming scratched up. But that should be strictly cosmetic unless it starts to rust.

A very well designed tool for DIYers

I bought this saw based on its overwhelmingly positive reviews, and so far it has not let me down. I launched into a bathroom floor project (approx. 150 sq ft.) armed only with one of those cheap score-and-break tile cutters. Oy. After ruining a bunch of tiles and getting sweaty in the process, I decided I needed something with more control. Using this saw, I got the job done quickly and cleanly. I was even able to make some very tricky notched cuts in a single tile to fit it to a door frame. A...

must have tool

sturdy, easy to assemble, well worth the investment. well-designed and made from quality parts. comes with the blade and stand (AWESOME since the "other" brand saw was sold separately from the blade ($39-50), and appeared terribly UNsturdy!) we have purchased (another brand of) this type of tool before and were NOT happy. kobalt makes an affordable, dependable product. completing our 3rd very large tiling project and should have purchased this saw in the beginning! so much easier and MUCH more c...
