Wet tile saw recommendation

[branimal]

How is this 10" HF tile/brick saw holding up?

The saw has been great. Equipped it with a dewalt xp4 blade. I’ve cut a 3/8” thick 12x24 tile for a 9x8 bathroom going up to 8 feet in most of the room. Working on a second bathroom now.

There’s a 2 part video of a guy putting it together. Definitely worth watching as the instructions were not great.

Obviously use the Hf 25% coupon to get it.

The miter gauge is ok for cutting angles. You’re not gonna get great precision.

There is some dripping off the back edge off the saw. I rigged it with a painters tray and that catches most of the water.

I’m definitely happy with it and I generally don’t buy harbor freight stuff.

Lmk what other saws you’re looking at. I’d be interested in who else is competitive.

Ridgid makes a good saw - but I’ve read it shoots lots of water around. Not a big deal if you’re cutting outside.

Here are some of my requirements :

- I'll need to cut 24" tile (using 12x24)

- I want to keep it as clean as possible.

- I will be using this saw inside the bathroom I am tiling. I live in a condo

- budget is up to $300 including a good blade

I bought the HF wet saw a few years ago doing a tile backsplash in the kitchen. You do not want to run this inside. It flings water everywhere.

making 24-inch rip cuts, this saw outperforms other tile saws by being able to make a diagonal cut on an 18 x 18-inch tile – the maximum rip size of most other saws. The saw surface is rubberized to prevent slipping, but users note the steel rollers work well for feeding tile without awkward sticking. Lackmond saw also uses an innovative snake pipe water system that allows users to tightly control the amount of water that is hitting the blade and where it is hitting, although customers note that this can make it more difficult for beginners to use properly.
