Tempting but not worth it [Posted on 2005-06-15]
As a new home owner I was happy with this saw at first, not really knowing what to expect. The monstrous fountain of spray created by the cutting wheel was tolerable, but one job escalated into three, by which time the motor had failed.
Anyway, I purchased an all steel model with a 3/4 hp motor for the same price and it was clear that the Plasplugs model was inferior in every way. For DIY take a look at the Workforce THD 550 or the very similar WS1807 from TileTools.us. It's a no brainer...
Tile cutter review [Posted on 2006-01-30]
Have not used this tile cutter yet, this new one is to replace my old one that I've had for 6 yrs which has served me well and is still running. The old guide bar got broken. So thought it time to have another machine.
I have tiled many kitchens and bathrooms with this old one and will continue to use it as a backup. Tools are as good as you are, if you do not abuse them they will last you for a long time.
Buy another brand [Posted on 2006-02-16]
I purchased this tile cutter at Menards for $49.00. I cut 2pcs of 1/2" 18"x18" travertine stone tile and the motor quit. I had to use my Dewalt angle grinder to finish the job.
GREAT cheap saw [Posted on 2006-06-28]
We are general contractors and we do a fair amount of tile work. We own several MK tile saws. We bought this saw 7 years ago as a joke. We could not believe that a tile saw for a hundred bucks could work. Diamond blades alone hover around that price. Since then, that saw has worked on EVERY tile job we have completed since! Every time I press the switch to start it now, I am in disbelief that it starts and We have done zero maintenance on it.
The saws advantages are that it cuts from the bottom so the back of the cut is longer, it has no costly pumps to replace (the blade dips into the water), it is very light weight easily carried w/one hand, it is completely selfcontained (just put water into it, plug it in and turn it on), no pumps to burn out and as tile saws go, it is a clean operating saw (very little mess, especially w/small tiles).
Its disadvantages are that it cuts large tiles very slowly (I would not recomend it for large tiles) and the fence is useless (we just clamp a piece of 1x to the saw).
By the way, I am not in the habbit of writing reviews.
