SKIL 7-Inch Wet Tile Saw - 3540-02

Does the job! Built and scaled for home use. Though it would be "under featured" for contractors, this is a decent and capable tile saw for homeowners, hobbyists, and casual remodelers looking to save money and cut tile more safely (than strictly by hand using angle grinders).

Super impressed with this tile saw. I was worried because the only tile saw I’ve used in the past was a rented professional grade tile saw. This one was just as easy to use. I needed the 45 degree ability for several of my cuts to “miter” small pieces to create edge pieces, and this worked perfect for it. I’ve already recommended to several friends. Super great value for the price, excellent quality, and really easy to setup and use.

When beginning a new tile job, you're probably deciding between renting and buying a tile saw, especially if you're already on Amazon looking at tile saws. Here are some simple questions you can ask yourself to decide. 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.

Good saw. Does exactly what it needs to do. Beware the rip fence. It can seem to be secure but the lip on the bottom of the knob end might not be below the side of the saw bed which means the fence may move even with the knob tight. Make sure the lip is under the edge of the saw bed and the fence won't move with the knob tight.

Killer little tile saw that has gotten me through a shower, a tub surround and 2 floors and a kitchen full backsplash! Next, a kitchen floor. Everything from a thick ceramic plank, marble mosaic, porcelain to subway. The one drawback is the tile size. If you have to rip anything longer than 7 inches, you have to go at it from both ends, and if its 32" plank you will have an -1/8" offset from the blade hood hinge getting in the way and the water reservoir is small. But at this price? As long as you change the blade before a new project, it's been awesome! Next up- the kitchen floor. I like that it's compact, easy to hose off and store on a shelf in the garage.

I saw all the reviews and picked this up to cut cement based stone facades. These stones are about an inch think. I bought additional blades based on previous reviews. After unpacking the box, I put it together per the instructions. I kept the original blade that it came with, which is a diamond blade. It's a quiet saw given what it is. The saw itself chewed right through the concrete stone with ease. Key is to not rush the cut. If you push too hard it will break or chip the stone. Also you will need to change the water frequently due to if the water gets too dirty, it makes a mess. Plus the guide bar becomes harder to position. The guide bar itself isn't the best design, however at this price point, it's manageable. I say again, change your water often. I so far used this for about 7 hours and I have cut hundreds of stone. Original blade still cutting with ease. When placed in table the saw does vibrate and begins to move, however placed in ground no issues. All the filthy pics others have posted will occur if you don't change water often. It's light weight and easy to carry. It comes with about a 4-5 foot cord which wraps up nicely. The wrench for the blade when not in use stores in the water reservoir, however I wish it was stored outside the unit. (Unless I didnt see it) I didn't post pics as it is exactly as described in the ad. The product comes with a 3 year warranty from skil if you register the product. For the price point and we ease of use I would recommend this product for residential use 100%. Again the key with this is to take your time and don't force or rush the cuts and this little guy will get the job done. Thinner pieces of stone and tile which pose greater risk of cracking should be up close to the guide bar and you must cut extremely slow. If you do that then this saw is for you. Also, replacement blades should have a hole in the center. These universal with diamond shaped holes(to fit all saws) will not work in this saw.

The Saw Works. Wouldn't use for big jobs (obviously). The slide and fence are a little sticky, not super reliable for guidance on tiles that are not square, but you get the hang of it. Start on easy cuts. It comes with a blade, which is awesome at this price. The blade is quality for a small job Read the instructions, there are a few things in there that are helpful.

En ocasiones esta cortadora esta a un super precio, yo compre una y me duro unos 3 o 4 años de trabajo muy intenso en la remodelación de mi casa. 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.

Este modelo salió muy bueno para cortar el azulejo y par los diferentes ángulos

BON PRODUIT NO 1

Exelente maquina. El motor tiene mucha fuerza. Viene con un disco para corte de piso, pero yo aparte le compre y le puse un disco de 7 pulgadas para corte de madera y corta muy bien y muy rapido la madera. Tambien, al ser de 500 watt lo puedo usar con inversor conectado a la bateria del auto lo que lo hace muy portatil.
