Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My tile saw came well packaged and assembled in minutes. As I expected this is not a professional/contractor tool by any means but for the DIY homeowner it is good value for money, simple and surprisingly capable. I needed to tile a kitchen backsplash using quite ornate tile. In addition to the usual straight cuts there were a lot of 45 degree angle cuts. At the end of the job the blade that came with the saw was still cutting well. I will be tiling a couple of bathrooms in the future and am confident this little baby will be up to the job. The saw has no water pump (which I like because they can be a headache) and the saw blade simply runs in the water in the water reservoir. The reservoir is small and I had to 'top up' the reservoir every second or third cut from a garden watering can. The saw is super easy to clean up with a garden hose at the end of each cutting session. All in all this is one of the better tools (for the price) that I own. I am still using the original saw blade The fence adjustment can be a bit awkward initially but you soon get the hang of it. Pros: Inexpensive, Simple design, durable. The motor is quite adequate and with a little care you can make accurate cuts. Cons; Fence adjustment needs a little patience. Water reservoir is small. Update: 18 months later the tile saw is still working well. But I did have a problem with the on/off switch. It stopped working. I called the SkilSaw parts department and they shipped a replacement to me right away at minimal cost(seven dollars). It arrived within a week and installation was a breeze. This saw is all I need as an amateur DIY guy. UPdate: 2 and a half years since original purchase and another tiling job just finished! The saw ( with original blade!)is still working as well as the day I bought it. This saw has paid for itself over and over again. !
