Review: very light and portable - This is a very handy saw that I use 90% of the time now. I have a large 10 inch wet saw that is very cumbersome to move and cannot cut large tiles (like 2x4 feet) because of the arm blocking the material. It is very portable and light so you can easily throw it into your trunk and take it somewhere. I do have to keep filling it with water however. The blade that comes with it is low quality so you will want to replace it ASAP. It doesn't have a lot of power but with a good blade you can cut almost any common material without the blade stopping. We have used it to cut about 500 sq feet of tile so far.
Review: Good ProSumer Product, Just Needs a Couple Improvements - This is a great little wet saw that will elevate your tile game. The sliding table was a must-have for me. My last tile saw was an underpowered 4" wet saw, and I've also rented huge 24" wet saws. As a weekend warrior I wanted something in between. This 7" saw has all the power you need. I was able to rip 36" wood look tile planks. Just cut as far as you can, then slide the table back and keep cutting. The only thing is you have to remove one Phillips screw to remove the squaring rail. Then when you reinstall the rail for cutting tile to length, you have to square it again. I think a better system would be an adjustment screw that also had an indexing pin to easily find square again. Sure, it should be adjustable, but you should be able to pop the rail off and on quickly and easily without tools. Also, I didn't see a wrench holder anywhere. The wrench is just kind of floating around, and I'm sure it will get lost the first time I put it away to store. So there is definitely room for improvement from a design standpoint. But this saw strikes a great balance between price and solid quality. I've spent this much to rent a tile saw for a weekend, so I see it as a very good value for a powerful wet saw with sliding table. The table slides very well on nylon wheels, without any perceptible slop. The power switch is ergonomic and easy to use. A nice cord winder, and easy to grip handles round out the package. The blade guard is good, and doesn't get in the way. I didn't try the included blade, but used a Pearl P4 instead. It was hard to tell which side of the tile was cut, and which was a factory edge. Pretty darn good cut quality on wood look porcelain floor tile. Highly recommended, but wish it had a quick indexing pin on the squaring rail so I could go from ripping to crosscuts without tools or adjustment. Also, I really wish it had a wrench holder for the included wrench.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Alway problems substituting other brand blades - and can't find PC replacement blades - can anyone confirm good to excellent substitute?**
A: I've tried several after market blades with this saw. The problem I've experienced is the original PC blade produces a slightly wider cut, allowing the tile to get past the guard support in the back. The blades I've tried produce a thinner cut that prevent the tile from passing around the guard support. I'll try the Pearl P4 7 inch to see if it works, although 50$ is a gamble I'd rather not bet on.

**Q: can the saw cut 24 inch long rip cuts on 12x24 inch marble**
A: No, the sliding infeed table only slides back enough to handle just over a 12 inch cut. You can do cross cuts on the 12x24, but not rip cuts. There is no provision for a rip fence.

**Q: I bought as Xmas gift and just got around to using it and no mitre square in box. Is it hidden somewhere in the saw housing?**
A: I believe it's attached to the back. In all honesty, I tried using it and found it easier to just hold the tiles at the right angle. That miter gauge is cheesy. Pro tip: if cutting large tiles at angle, remove grippy handle from right side with torx driver. The tile will hit it where it overhangs.

**Q: how thick will this cut**
A: I would say 1:4, if you are cutting porcelain that thick take it slow, natural stone will cut easier. I highly recommend this saw, I use it for small jobs, it’s really great in tight spaces. In my opinion it’s the better of the smaller wet saws as I prefer a rolling table for more accurate cuts. I however use an MK on my bigger jobs and large format tile and stone and it’s a beast with no limitations but cost about 10x what this saw cost. I do a lot of baths and kitchens and I love it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice saw
*by J***M on February 9, 2026*

Not bad at the price point. Saw has adequate power and is fairly accurate. Not too heavy, makes it easy to move around. Now the bad. The water spray from the blade is excessive and drenches you. The design of the rubber lifting handle was not well thought out. When cutting tiles that extend past the rolling slide they hit the handle, requiring you to lift the tiles up to proceed. Noticeable when cutting 12x24 tiles. Next. The blade chips the tiles at the end of the cut, albeit on only one side, be sure to keep the edge your are keeping on the inside. The plastic fence is poorly constructed and hard to move. If you need a tile saw, especially for just one job, this pays off handsomely. I have an expensive MK tile saw that is great, but heavy and can't cut 12 inch tiles. This did the trick.
