There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It cuts well with the included blade but go slow. Replacement blades might cut faster but the included blade worked well and lasted for my whole job.
The blade cover completely hides the blade when it's running but there are markings on the table to help keep the alignment. The included guide works well but I found that using the table markings worked just as well.
This is well worth the little extra money over the cheaper saws. Being able to use the saw close to your project is priceless.
Well, This is the one to buy. There are two models, and this one with water lock is the better model, although twice the cost. So, read the other reviews and you'll see this all confirmed. What I include here is a workaround and suggestions for improvement.
1. The blade guard...Great working device with a rubber seal that keeps water to zero IF you are not cutting a tile. I fixed the screw area problem that attaches it to the table by recessing the screw heads. Next I used duct tape looped over the front air exhaust so water goes back down the table and not up in my face or over the table. It wouldn't be difficult or costly if Skill added these two design fixes in their next revision, especially for the price.
2. The blade...it's a basic blade, so don't bother using it. Get a decent one for your tile job. I used a widow.
3. The motor...it is a bit under amperage as I know it won't last as long as my 12 and 15 amp units, and won't cut as fast. However, I don't know that one that powerful could fit in such a small footprint, or be as light. I do know a 7 amp would be my expectation and would not add a considerable amount of weight, and would be considered a great value for the price point they had this one for ($135),
4. The plastic body is very strong and I had no problems even when stressing it.
5. The top...it is like a teflon coated top, but I don't know for sure. It held up well for the three backsplashes I have done since buying it last month. Time will tell if it starts to rust, but I oil it after every use, so it should be minimized. If Skil were to add a 1mm hard rubber/plastic film, it would be awesome as tiles would still slide,cthe table would be protected, and it wouldn't be tile against metal.
6. The extension arm--yes, it's plastic, but it is sturdy and does the job well! Don't try cutting 36" floor tile as it will bind the saw and give a poor cut--but hey, that's why I put it to the test!
7. The switch..I think it is too difficult to turn on and off each time you make a cut, because of the thick rubber cover it has, but it does the job it's suppoed to do in making it safe! I would either add a bigger switch to use with gloves, or add a more protruding toggle.
8. The unit was easy to clean, but a simple tool storage, aside from drying the unit out and putting it inside the well would be useful. There is room on the tool or the extendion for this to happen.
9. Add an extra brush for the blade. I have not seen where to purchase replacements yet!
Is this your first time tiling?
Buy the saw. It takes about 2 days to break even for this thing and it will be so much less stressful knowing that you don't have to rush and get it back to the store.
Do you have more than 2 days of tiling to do?
Buy the saw. It's cheaper to buy this little saw than to rent something that's most likely overkill for your project.
Do you have a LOT of LARGE (greater than 12") cuts to make or very hard material?
You may want to rent. The wet saws that are rented are much heavier duty and large than this one, and it can be cumbersome with large tiles. We successfully used it on 12" x 12" and 18" x 8" travertine tiles and that was pushing the limit of this saw's size capacity.
---
Regarding this specific saw:
We used this saw for our first tiling job to reface our brick fireplace with travertine tiles that were 12" x 12" and 18" x 8". The saw had no problem cutting straight through the travertine, although we did have issues when trying to cut a miter. That might have just been our inexperience though.
Pros
Cut through travertine with ease. We made dozens of cuts and its still running great on the same blade.
The water shield does tend to prevent most of the water from getting on your shirt.
Easy to store due to its small size and light weight.
Cons
The fence is difficult to use. I'd recommend using a square to ensure it stays square.
It's a bit small, which means you'll need to do math depending on the cut sizes you need. Be sure to account for the blade width.
Finishing the cuts was hard, although this could just be me. Going slowly seemed to help a lot.
The water reservoir is difficult to access. A funnel makes it much easier.
Overall, this wet saw is probably perfectly adequate for most home tiling projects and pays for itself in about two days. If the fence was a bit easier to use, then it would be even better.
Top reviews from other countries
Recientemente dejo de funcionar el motor y adquirí la 2da, confirmo que la calidad, relación costo-beneficio y el desempeño continuan siendo muy buenos.
Provee cortes muy precisos contra los cortadores tradicionales, el disco que incluye dura un buen tiempo antes de tener que ser reemplazado, lo único que no me agrada es que si salpica mucha agua al utilizarlo aunque la mayoría de estos cortadores lo hacen.
Al momento de mi compra encontré este equipo era el de mejor precio contra los ofertados en otras tiendas y sitios web.
Lo recomiendo.
cons. avienta agua para todos lados y termina uno bañado, otro con muy grande para mi es que es muy difícil de limpiar cuando ya la quiero guardar, pero use una manguera y con eso.
último punto como cualquier herramienta, PRÁCTICA, si esperas cortes perfectos sin dedicarle tiempo no los tendrás.
more than expected, sturdy little bastard. it does a great job, please keep in mind it is little, i do somehow expect you to understand it already; otherwise you would be browsing for pro tools.
i do really like it, it works well and avoids dust.
cons! wear your swimming suit, it pours water in all directions, since it is not cold where i am, it is no a big issue, but if i lived up north i would mind ir definitely,
last con it is hard to clean it, i figured it out and used a water hose. other than these two cons it is a strong little bastard
