Overall for any everyday professional tile guy which saw do you recommend in your own honest opinion for everything one needs to do from rip cuts plunge cuts and miters?
At 5:11 the tile chips on the left side then at 7:42 tile chips on the right side. Is that a common occurrence with these saws?
I cannot understand why you only have less than 20k subscribers.. with this quality videos...
What’s your name ?
Your thorough review of this saw along with your real world experience is invaluable. Nice job.
appreciate the comment 👍
excellent review. on my very first DIY tile backsplash, I purchased a cheapo tile saw. Intended to be tossed after the job was done, was the first time I realized how much I enjoyed tile work. at the center of my next tile project will be a saw like this...... good job.
Liggy, liggy, liggy Landberg!!! Did I ever tell you how much I enjoy your videos?? Another fantastic review bud. I mean you break down every aspect of whatever you're reviewing in a forum that most every one can understand. Until the next one, Dirty Jersey out!!!
Fantastic! I just bought one of these PCE980 saws. Waiting for it to be delivered. You video is extremely helpful in showing how to square up and level the saw. I read about the procedures on other reviews but it's nice to visually see what is needed to do the tune up. I ordered a quality blade as well. Thank you for taking time to review this saw and the many other tile related items you've reviewed. I'm Subscribed!
Thanks man! Happy my videos helped and thanks for the sub! 👊
I just bought corded version of this PC saw today. This video is really helpful. Thanks so much for posting. Good production value too!
Thanks brother! We have owned 2 of the corded saws and they work great!
Thanks for a great review of this tile saw
After watching your reviews I was so impressed with the electric model that I bought one also on Amazon
An very impressed with the build quality also and am sure it will last a very long time
Good size, very portable just what I was looking for as a DIY er myself
Thanks again for the great review
Thanks to you and your great review I just ordered one. Hope is easy to use and last me long time.
Keep up the good work.
When I want to buy a new tool for my tile business I always come this channel as reference great content sir I wanted a table saw for small jobs and boom porter cable it is
Thanks for the review Video! Always dig the content you put out. 👍
I like to make it fun! 👊🙏
Just ordered one based on your review. Thanks man.😊
We are about to do our fireplace and kitchen and I'm in the market for a saw, thank you! Great video and review, I just ordered one along with the blade. I'm now looking forward to the project (if only I can get my son to do all the demo...)!
Thanks bro, my saw cut way off straight out the box. Glad I watched this so I don't have to read manuals and search the net. I will be using mine more now that it cuts straight. Wish I came from the factory cutting straight.
I got the 7" QEP 1 HP pro table top saw, wish I knew you existed first!
This is probably the best tool review video I've seen yet.
Thanks brother, happy you liked the vid!
Bought this saw based on the review you did a month's back glad I did remodeled my shower with 12x24 worked great.
that's awesome! 👍
The specs say the max cutting is 17.5” How did you cut 24”? Did you remove the ruler guide?
Don't forget that there is an adjustment for the table as well!!!
There is an Allen set screw on top of the table that will adjust the middle concentric bearing up or down.
I got this saw last year and put a Lackmond beast blade on it love it.
Just cut some 2 foot X 4 foot tiles with it because my Dewalt arm was in the way.
Very cool, thank you for the additional tips on adjustment! I love it also 😎
Alright that's it I'm buying one !
Great follow up
Craftsman has been making that exact saw for many years. I love mine (I'm a tile contractor) sure the marks are off, you do have to fiddle with it a bit to get it squared but no one has shown me a better saw for doing backslashes. Sliding tray so no shifting deco sheets, battery powered so no finding a plug in if all electrical was redone, small and light I can't boast about it hard enough. Hilarious it's from what I would consider "junk" brands for contractors. Holds up too. I'm on my second one but both lasted 2-3 years (still work but the rollers wear so much the tray gets really sloppy) that's a long time considering all I do is bath remodels and backslashes
Great video! Just ordered one through your link!
Thanks!
This is by far the best table top saw there is...the slide is everything,,,,i set this up inside showers often.. with me so its so close on a stand,,,my only complaint would be more power so i could cut faster..but i use thin blades to speed this up,,,even if the blades ware out faster....
Love me some landberg
Great video! Is there a major difference between saws that have an overhead blade versus a bottom mount blade? Does one prevent chipping at the end of the cut better than the other?
Would iy be helpful to place a sacrificial piece of material (the same width of the material you're cutting) so you can avoid the chipping that sometimes happens in the last 1/4 inch of the cut?
Great video, but please stop trying to cut off your fingers!
Thank you so much I like you videos.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for these great reviews! I am a DIYer looking to retile 3 fireplaces with 24" tiles. Would you recommend this or the Diamondback for that job?
I looked up the Pearl P4 blade, there are two versions it appears so which do you prefer? Great review by the way and any hacks to cut an angle miter with this saw, like a 45 wedge on the sliding table?
I’m going to get this saw through your link on amazon. Plan on getting some type of shorter tupper bin for those long cuts. Looks like it leaks water on the floor for those cuts. 👍
Great idea on the bin! We still have it and use it. It's a great tabletop saw.
Just used this saw on a bathroom job. Sooooo much better then my ridgid table top cutter. Love the sliding table. Wish they included a built in gfi with the switch. Thanks for reviewing!
I have so much shit in my amazon list from watching your vids. lol Love 'em.
Was your first review the battery powered one? That's the one I got. You should get that one too and compare them. I'd like to know if theres a big difference in power and cut quality.
I think he said he got rid of the cordless one for the corded one. I think he mentioned the batteries would drain to fast.
Is this still the best table top? Looking for one to add to the arsenal bc not every job requires bigger saws.
Hey Landberg Tile - watch your videos all the time. Great stuff. I picked up the porter cable for a flooring job. I am using porcelain tile (della torre onyx) picked up at Lowe’s. Each cut has produced chipping.
Any suggestions?
Adjustments need to be made between the sliding side and the solid side of the table to make them match height, its critical to prevent chipping. Its mentioned in this video several times.
Yes!!!!!
👊👊👊
Have u done a review on the craftsman saw and if so is it basically the same
how do you cut it so straight, mine is always blowing off at the end? please help me help help
I bought this a month ago. Still using blade that came with it. Water no higher than max line. Can't keep my front from getting wet! Unless I put the guard down to the point I can't see what I'm cutting. Anyone else having this issue? Other than that it's been a good little saw!
Thanks for the informative review and update. In your opinion is the sliding fence on this saw adequate for ripping 16x32 porcelain tile?
I wouldn't recommend it, you'll need at least a standard 7" tile saw such as the Diamondback.
@@LandbergTileTV Cool! Thx for the quick reply!
Just an FYI. That Diamondback 7" tile saw is currently on sale at Harbor Freight for $219 which makes the difference in cost between it and this PC table top saw almost irrelevant. And the Diamondback is a lot more saw for the money. The PC is more portable, but on every other metric the Diamondabck wins.
Sweet, thanks for the update! 😎
some comments & questions from a guy who has never used / owned a tile saw.
but does have a sears 10" table saw & 80" band saw. with but one visit to
the ER in several decades of use
does the 980 let one raise and lower the blade ?
if not then does one just have a set of different diameter blades ?
does one ever have to be concerned with surface contact speed like
when using a metal lathe for optimum cutting / sawing results ?
like i noticed the same saw blade in use no matter the material thickness
are there threaded holes atop either L or R-side surface to bolt shim or other aids to ?
a demo of the 2 table surfaces offset from each other in height and how that
allows certain jobs woud be welcome.
is this something done on another vid ?
have you done a vid showing it making a cut part way, then repeat offset 1/16"
anbd repeat to make a channel ?
how about cutting at an angle , like a wood table saw is adept at ?
is it possible to run 2 or more 7" blades at the same time ?
as the reservoir water becomes contaminated with tile grit ... what are the
guidelines for changing to fresh water ?
i know its called a 'tile saw' and ask if thin metal pieces , say 1/8" mild
steel are saw-able too ?
and all that water flying around ..... there are many bearings in play here.
have you no comment about their life expectancy in such an environment ?
alrite, that 's all i can think of .
Looks good! Question, is there an attachment that holds tile for angled cuts? Sorry if I missed it but I don’t believe I seen an angled cut with this yet
Yes, there is a fence for diagonal cuts.
What’re some scenarios that a tabletop saw comes in handy? Trying to justify buying one. Killer videos btw 🤘🏽
Small cutter with a tabletop can tile an entire shower. We set it up in the bathroom and it saves a ton of time! I have a video coming out this Saturday showing this exact setup.
What brand stand do you have the saw on and where can I find it?
Esta sierra sirve para biselar baldosas en angulo de 45 grados?
I need this saw to add to my 6 other saws cuz why not
why not? lol
U cant use it?
Many beginners and DIY'ers don't know that, in many ways, 'the blade makes the saw' and to treat the blade (especially new ones) with a cut-block to remove manufacturing burrs, etc.
P.S. There's a rubber mat that's specifically designed for cutting glass mosaic; helps with sliding/movements.
How do you keep it from chipping porcelain floor tile?
Yo dude, still enjoying your videos. Have you got any videos on mosaic tiling for floors? Doing some tiny herringbone mosaics on mesh
Wish I did, good luck! herringbone is a pain
Great video! Convinced me to get the PCE980, which was one of the saws on my list.. Could you please specify the exact Pearl blade that you use? I see a couple of different types for porcelain on Amazon. Want to make sure to use the blade you recommend. Thanks!
The mesh blade is great. Check out Calidad blades 7 and 10 inch
Thanks!
It would if it could could cut 45. I have one that battery instead of corded. Batteries go quick when cutting porcelain
7:42 Large chip breaks off right side piece.. holds up left side piece. What if the right side piece was the needed piece? Is there a way to contain the breakage to one side or the other? The way the blade cuts up toward the face on a bottom mounted blade suggests this would always be a problem and not just with this brand.
Tile always chips as the blade breaks though. Drives me crazy. My machine does have a blade wobble however because the motor shaft isn’t straight. Guess I was unlucky.
At 5:11 Tile chips off on left side piece. Seems this chipping would be a major problem, especially if its unpredictable. Makes me wonder about Landberg Tile TV
Clean, porcelain, plank cut! Don't look at the other piece...
you said good motor. what motor is it? brand/specs etc. had you researched it or just meaning its still running after a year?
The motor feels much stronger than the other 7 tabletop tile saw's I've used/reviewed.
Could you make the comparison between this table tile saw and the kobalt one which is very similar so we can see the difference between each other?
That video will launch tomorrow morning 👊
Hey, what blade do you used?
What manual tile cutter would you suggest for cut travertine 12 x 24 tile? I had trouble cutting 3 1/2 strips. Thanks
The Montolit, but travertine is hard to cut with a manual tile cutter. I would suggest a wet tile saw.
Landberg Tile TV thank you ! 👍
So, do you recommend the PC over the Great White saw??
We love the sliding tray
What brand is the stand that you have the saw on? And where can I find it? Very informative video by the way!
dewalt folding table
Could I cut 18x18 porcelain with this unit? Thx- good video!
Yes, but maybe consider a 7" full size tile saw like the diamondback.
Nice little saw. If you set it up in a bathroom or in your indoor work area does it make a mess with saw spray?
It's not messy, but it does tend to spray on your shirt quite a bit...
Sounds good, I think I can deal with a little saw spay on my shirt. I’ve been looking for a little Tile saw for small subway tile so I’m not having to drag out my big MK Tile saw all the time. Like your videos and look forward to the next one
At 5:11 the tile chips on the left side then at 7:42 tile chips on the right side. That seems like a major problem, wondering why you did not address it.
Is it easy to RIP a 36in tile with that fence on the sliding table ? Or do you have to remove it
remove it and follow the line
Man, you’ll cut your fingers off holding the tiles like that.
And thank you very much for this video
Hey..Namaskar from India, U r doing such nice job, this is very helpful for new DIY startup, We appreciate your work and wish you minimum 1M subscribers :) After your 1year Update review on Porter Cable wet saw, I am going to purchase this machine only. Just wanted to know the shaft size of the machine (for cutting wheel) Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊
Will you please advise me, what is the Inner bore size of the cutting wheel?
I have this saw and it's binding on long rip cuts, have you encountered this and how do you fix it? I've tried adjusting the slide and blade guard fin without success
Did you replace the blade with one that is too wide for the saw? Check to make sure your blade is not coming in contact with the sides of the track. He suggests a replacement blade in this video, Pearl.
I have the same saw. I have found:
1) you can’t use a thinner blade
2) the “fin” adjustment requires a lot of patience, trial and error. Even after you get it dialed in, there can still be little binding. This is my third saw in this style, and it goes with the territory.
How good is this saw with cutting marble? Thanks for the video great review bro
It will do it with a good blade. 👊
@@LandbergTileTV thanks
Ohh, I could see more than one tool. I'd like to know the name to the others tools, please. Did you use a compressor water,, or I'm wrong?
That is called the Dewalt power station 👊
Hey 👋 bro. Love your tile reports. Just a little worried about your fingers. They’re important too. Stay safe and thnx
Thanks 👍
Drew. That's part of the show when you do tile work to keep the tile corners well cutted but it's not as dangerous as the wood ones which you have to be really careful with
Have you ever used a tile saw?
It would be incredibly hard to cut your finger with a smooth rim tile blade
I can't get this in the UK can you recommend a good one from the UK please
Sorry, not familiar with UK/products..
The specs say the max cutting is 17.5”. How do I cut a 6” by 20” tile? Can I remove the ruler guide?
This saw can rip porcelain planks of that size, but I would recommend using a 7" tile saw for that application. This saw is only good for smaller tiles and mosaics.
You should review this tabletop saw cc912ts
Which one is that?
The saw blade you recommended is a 10 inch blade, the stock one is a 7 inch. And is that the one shown?
Yes it is.
Dear Landberg, hope you are good, I got two questions for you about the PorterCable tile Saw: 1) This tile cutter has 45 angle feature and 2) Can you cut 60x60cm tiles?
No, does not miter tiles, only diagonal. I would look into a 7" or 10" tile saw for that size 60x60cm.
@@LandbergTileTV Thank you!!
I thought the video indicates it will cut 24 but specs I am reading is 17 - not a tile guy - how large cut will pce980 do?
? It cuts 12x24, but if you cut that size tile a lot purchase a 7" or 10" full size tile saw. This is not a tile saw for large format tiles, but can be used for notch cuts for large format tiles.
Hi brother, just one question this saw spray water outside the table, normally in my state we work inside the houses, that is why my question, thx bro
It is not too messy of a saw.
What I did was buy a set of 3rd hands and poly my saw in a U shape. Throw a 6x8 tarp on the floor. It's like my own portable tent
Is there a stand you would recommend to put this saw on?
One of these tables: ua-cam.com/video/bzt-q05h9-c/v-deo.html
You definitely had a chip at the 7:20 mark with the porcelain.
It's okay to need to cut the other side first, but it's not okay to act like that chip didn't happen. You seem professional. Professionals just deal with problems, they don't hide
How does it cut 12 x24 the long way the table doesn't look like it moves that far?
I simply push it through and follow a line. Takes some getting used to, but would highly recommend using a 24 inch manual tile cutter for that.
steve beuchert You have to let it hang over the edge for the first 8” or so then set it against the fence. Not a big deal. Fine for a few tiles, but a snap cutter will be faster for more tiles.
Which is a better saw? The porter cable or the 7in Diamondback?
I would say the Diamondback for sure. It's simply bigger and has more options.
Thank you for the fast response
Здравствуйте. Мозаику лучше склеивать бумажной лентой для малярных работ. Будет как единое целое. Рез будет без отклонений.
Do you think this will cut metal mosaic tile?
Yes it will
How would you cut an inside 45 angle 📐 for a piece of marble chair rail with this
Only way would be to take the blade guard off and free hand it.
So I am a DYI guy and I am debating on the porter cable or the ridgid- what’s your recommendation
Gosh, both equal saws. Maybe consider a 7 inch for your miter cuts. Not much more expensive than those tabletops.
I like the sliding table and you really seem to like the porter cable, I guess I could make a 45 degree block out of a 4 x 4 and lay the marble on that, I only have a few of those cuts and would rather have the sliding table for the rest- I love the videos
How is tile saw on cutting Marble?
Cuts marble like hot knife cutting butter!
Hi bro I am in New Zealand and here is not this wet saw 10 inch ridgid appreciate you very much if you can to find this one for me because I want to buy this one , my name is Bogdan. Thanks bro 😊
This doesn't do 45 degree miter cuts correct?
no it does not
Just bought mine. Tray sucks on mine. same rail system as dewalt witch I hate. It has a huge drop off as the rollers come off rail.
Return it, we are currently using this saw
ua-cam.com/video/li8lfupdY3o/v-deo.html
Hi my friend, could i cut granite with this saw?
Yes, but the blade may burn out fast as granite is hard stone.
If i cut with an another brand blade?
Which one do you recommend to cut granite and marble?
can this wet saw do miter cuts?
no sir
Yes if you attach this www.lewiscontractorsales.com/mk-diamond-45-degree-miter-guide.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm93Bo-u-5QIVKSCtBh1CqwSBEAQYASABEgIEavD_BwE
No angle cuts?
Yes, you CAN cut diagonal, but can not miter/bevel.
What is the difference between miter and angle? I’m doing herringbone pattern, so I will have a lot of 45 degree cuts? Can this saw do it?
Памаги купить такую вещь
Will it cut 5/8 marble?
Yes
And it did! I was nervous though, it was a threshold.
@@ChristIsLord229 did it work out?
Landberg Tile TV yes sir
Landberg Tile TV actually i need some help! I redid a bathroom for a family member. I mimicked your latest 4x12 white subway with black grout. I had a buddy grout, i was doing something else. I had 1/16” spacers as joints. He grouted them too fat for me. Whats the fastest way to grind that out? I want to do it myself. Dremel? Multi tool? Thank you.
The thing that holds the guard is in the way and makes all my cuts at least 1/16 off 🤬 I can not for the life of me figure out how to adjust the depth of the blade so I’ve just removed the guard and stand to the side a bit so I’m not getting sprayed with water. And I can’t find a how to anywhere. What a real pain in the ass this is, I want to be able to watch what I’m cutting, but I can’t. Really really frustrating.
Yes, that's sounds frustrating! Every tabletop tile saw has that same issue with the guard, maybe consider a Diamond back 7" from Harbor Freight or Kobalt 7" from Lowe's. Cheap, but get the job done.
Landberg Tile TV After trying a few different ones and running into the same problems, I found a blade that is the exact thickness of the guide on this and it even cuts great!!! Got it on cheap on Amazon, it got great reviews (mostly) and it’s absolutely perfect for this saw!!!!! This is it: Super Thin Diamond Ceramic Saw Blade Porcelain Cutting Blade for Cutting Ceramic Or Porcelain Tile (7") www.amazon.com/dp/B06XRVBZ8H/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_.J9zDbTGPYBYN
Perhaps look into going to a plexiglass shop maybe they can fabricate a clear guard. It's what I'll do if I run into this problem..
Maybe its not a huge thing but this saw always put me off because it has the slowest blade speed at 2800 rpm. Not sure why they couldnt bump up the speed
That's slow, but it's a good saw with sliding table
A very risky way to finish the cuts and get your fingers cut too.
450 dollars to post to the uk 😂
Looks like it struggles at the end of cuts . Why aren't you saying anything bout that 🤔
No, I just push slow because these saws tend to ship at the end of the cut.
I do small bathrooms ,kitchens ,small jobs . I bought a10inch chicago electric and I am definitely not satisfied. Would you say this saw is better for me or that this saw is just a better saw.
Thank u don't tell us were to get it
