Versatile and compact for tabletop use by DIYers. High-torque, universal motor. High-impact thermoplastic water reservoir will not rust or peel, and can be removed for easy cleaning. MK-Safeswitch prevents saw from being operated when locking key is removed. 15-1/2" x 14-1/2" x 12-1/2".

This is a great little tabletop saw that is perfect for the weekend do-it-yourselfer. It's easy to set up, very lightweight and precise. The 1/3 hp motor provides plenty of power for projects like cutting counters or floor tiles. The sliding platform allows you to move your work into the blade with a smooth and controlled motion giving you square and accurate cuts every time. It comes with a 7-inch diamond saw blade that cuts a maximum of 12-inch square, a water pump and adjustable rip guide. Great value for the money. --Jodi Johnson

A Great Saw for the Do-It-Yourselfer
After purchasing a home in need of a complete renovation, I took it as a personal challenge to do the job myself. There were a number of tools in in my inventory, however a tile saw was not one of them. I thought about renting one, but once you go past 24 hrs, your better off buying one. With so many choices and vendors to select from, it became apparent that one should always remember the "Golden Rule", you get exactly what you pay for......Stay away from the inexpensive (under $100)saws. They are (for the... more info
good product
I got this tile saw after renting one from Home Depot for tiling bathrooms in my house. I should have started with this one in the first place. A new dressed blade makes a big difference. Cutting time was half of the rented one and I could do it at my own pace. It pays for itself in short order. So for all DIY folks, get this tile cutter and you will not regret it. The guide/ripping post could use a redesign but other than that I am completely satisfied.
