QEP 22400Q 3/5 HP Torque Master Tile Saw, 4-Inch,Black/Yellow

Needed a wet tile saw quickly and didn't want to spend a lot of money. I figured if I could get 1 use out of it, it paid for itself. I was surprised how easily it went together and how well it worked. The guard and guide were flimsy and shifted a lot, so it was just easier to guide the tiles by hand. Cuts were fairly clean. I would keep a towel handy to wipe down the tray where the tile lays as a lot of bits and shards can build up on the tray and near the blade, but easily wipes away. Definitely use the spray shield or you will be covered in water from the spray off the blade. Overall for $32 it was worth the money as I was able to get the tile job done on time and with decent tile cuts.

This was a fantastic product. Once you get it set up, it's easy to use and gets the job done. I was cutting natural stone that was about 1/4 in thick, and I never had a problem. As others have mentioned, the water does get dirtier and dirtier the more you cut, but if you change out the water every so often, no problem! The saw blade that comes with the product is great - no need to buy another blade.I used this wet-saw to cut tile for a kitchen backsplash. I had only intended to use it one time and then throw it out (a great use of $50). However, after using it it's still in great shape. I changed my mind and I'm going to hold onto it in case I need it in the future.I do see how this could be considered "flimsy" or "like a toy" or "cheap" as other reviews have commented. However, these qualities did not effect the usability of this product at all, and it was easy to forget about them once you got started. Is it made from cheap materials - yes. But, if you're expecting something made out of metal (not plastic), and something bigger (not small like this), then you need to go and spend more than $50 somewhere else and buy (or rent) an expensive wet-saw (and for no good reason)!Just get this saw - it's all you need.

Best suggestionsDo not use saw on your floorSuited for smaller tile, but large tile does workBe aware of how much water is in the saw, and remove and replace when it starts getting clay like from the shavingsGreat for the price. I was skeptical from the reviews. I got this because it was cheaper to buy then to rent a saw. I am a beginner and I knew it would take awhile to figure out how to cut everything and such, so I would have needed to rent a wet saw for several days and this worked fine. I used a 12x12 porcelain tile. I will say when cut my bullnose it was a lot easier. So I suggest a light subway or a 4x4 or 6x6 tile is probably ideal for this tile saw. I would not use for a 24x24 like they say you can unless you are desperate and only need to cut one or two. However I did use a 12x12 and it worked fine, it just took longer for the saw to cut through and some times it felt like I was fighting against the 4 inch blade. I had a hard time using the arm that let you cut on an angle, because I needed under 2 1/2 inch triangles. The extender didn't do anything for my large tile because I used the bar to help me cut straight. There is a measure on both sides starting in the middle at 0 and going out to 6 inches. Obviously not helpful for a large tile, so you have to go off of what you need to cut off, not what needs to remain.I read a review that said its great and compact and you can use it on the floor next to your job. I started out doing that, huge mistake, I kept getting the water everywhere and I didn't have good leverage to cut the tiles, it was a pain. Plus the saw moved while I was cutting my tile. I put a folding work bench in the room next to the bathroom and put a bunch of plastic down underneath and put a bucket under the tile saw to catch any water runoff from the tile and that was manageable. It wasn't the best but it made it easier then going out to the garage or down the basement or somewhere else.Finally the biggest put off for this was the hole in the bottom of the saw. I understand its so you don't put too much in, but it made it very difficult to pick up and dump when needing to change the water. When the water becomes clay like you'll notice that the amount of water that is coming out of the blade area is low or nonexistent so I had to scrape out the clay clumps and fill up again.

this saw worked perfectly. I was able to easily cut all of the tile required for my kitchen back splash. Keep in mind this is only a 4" blade, so probably not the best choice for thicker, large floor tiles and BIG JOBS. It never bogged down or had any problems for me. Obviously you need to cut relatively slowly but keep that in mind and it works great. I flushed the debris out of the water box every 20-40 cuts. It cut the ceramic with ease, and even the black granite trim pieces. Take your time, let the blade do the work and you'll be fine. I couldn't rent a wet saw for less, so why not buy?Tip: clean the rip guide and angle guide before each use of the angle guide or debris will bind it up. Just a quick wipe with a wet paper towel does the trick.
