excellent review. after seeing this I grabbed one of these today. couldn't be happier. it's great for taking out when I have just a few cuts or a small job to do. beats setting up my big saw for just a couple hours work. thanks!
I was debating purchasing one of those tile-score things from Harbor Freight...glad that I watched this video first, this thing was great for my recent bathroom remodel!
Thanks for the heads up on the Harbor Freight snapper. I would have guessed as much, but it's nice to have someone who has used it validate that opinion.
I just did my kitchen backsplash(beveled subway 3x6 tiles) with the exact same tile saw as in this video, and it worked perfectly. I agree it's not a professional style saw, but for a small project, it's great! The rental place wanted $50 a day so $84 buck was a steal. As for the tile breaking out towards the end....I just started the cut on one end(Maybe a 1/4 inch in) and flipped the tile over to complete the cut.
Great review, thank you. I was looking to buy one of these, but wanted to see what they were like, and your review was extremely informative and very fair and evenhanded. If any professional buys this and expects contractor quality, they are idiots. If, like me, you want something to do a limited job (cut marble tiles for a fireplace insert), this would seem to be perfect. Thanks again!
It's actually amazing how well this type of saw preforms for the very light DIY'r! I did 1 kitchen and 2 bathroom floors with a similar product that Home Depot sells. Being I have more to do I recently went with the Chicago Electric 10 inch model (69275). Small projects this is a very good saw for the money. What surprises me the most is the motor; it's not much different then a bathroom ceiling fan motor but as long as you let the tool do the job it will get it done. With any tool, let the tool do the work and you will be good. Slow but sure even with the best saws out there.
I had this saw and it worked great with a different blade upgraded blade, I loaned it out and it came back broken so I bought a kobolt 7 inch wet saw on sale for $138 with a laser light which comes in handy, both saws worked great for me but the kobolt is great
I used that same 3-in-1 tile cutter on my subway backsplash. Cleaning up, i kept finding little scratches and chips from the "bouncing" scoring wheel and the brackets used for pushing down/snapping the tiles. Cheapy you pay, cheapy you get.
Thank you my friend for taking your time to review this. I have a small job to do. I looked at the at the Harbor Freight tile wet saw, as it was a bit cheaper. But this one is worth the little Cost saving as you said. You helped us a lot. Yes for a small job it will work for me.
Well done! I have the same saw which is adequate for around the house projects. Get what you pay for and this is a very good deal..... Thanks for giving the basics about this tool. I never could figure out how to snap and score tile!! My next project involves PORCELAIN tile. I think I will be using masking tape on my cut line to see if it minimizes the shaggy cut or I will have to upgrade blades!
I appreciate the video. I Purchased one and have not put it to use. I was every skeptical how it will proformance because of the low cost. I will be using it to also do my bathroom. You’re video demonstration was great. Thank you very much.
I have this saw, I used on an outside work table. It walks while you're running it. You have to brace it unless you're using it on the ground like him. It's very light weight and you have to run it slow.
Rubi tile cutters are what most tile setters use, DIY Rubi's start at $59 to $149 US. Just bought the Skil 7" for a Quarry Tile Porch project. These saws are great for small jobs.
Yeah good video but I think you were getting allot of front over spray because there is a max fill line. You just need enough water to keep the cutting edge of the blade wet.
I am also getting ready to re-floor my master bath and have the exact same saw. I have not cut anything with it yet and wanted to watch someone that has. Thank you for your insights.
I have one of the low-end Skill saws. The things I don't like about it are that the fence doesn't sit on the table. There is a gap, so if you want to cut something about 1/8" thick, it will slip under the fence and your cut will go astray. Also, the clamping for the fence is pretty bad. You think you have it set right and it walks around while you tighten it. You have to get it really tight or it won't stay. Also, the blade guard is pretty flimsy and it is only good for catching the water spray so that is can recycle. It ostensibly uses 7" blades but it will actually take 7 1/4" blades. The guard mount is the only part of it you have to make sure will clear a 7 1/4" before using it with this unit. I have successfully cut sheet plastic with a fine-toothed 7 1/4" blade. I use it as a mini-table saw. I mainly cut aluminum stock in preparation for machining.
Just use this for my subway tile backsplash. Worked great! Had to take blade cover off to get small shards of tile out before I put it in the box for my next house/kitchen. Wondering if I should oil blade as it looks a bit rusty?
Well said. I tried the manual tile cutter first, but man it is so useless. I am not able to even cut it in half in a clean cut without any problems. Guessing it just is not meant for my type of ceramic tile.
Use a Dremel for cutting holes fine cuts etc and etc...I gotta say you have cracked me up and rust me I feel your pain totally pretty obvious since I'm here and I must say you've convinced me to go ahead and purchase this at my local lowes for 79 bucks ... What do we do with those gadgets we wasted our money on? ... We gotta watch who we sell them to for sure cause they're enough to make a preacher cuss?.. Thanks for the awesome tutorial and truth... Have a good1
I have this saw and have used it for a few years now and I love mine but yeah it will get you wet but you can minimize this a little by not overfilling with water...if you look closely on the inside of the reservoir you will see a max line for the water. It will still sling water but I just put an old towel in front of myself..LoL.
Update: I have found the issue with this Skill model, it does not have a removal reservoir which my 50 dollar Home Depot model did have! You do need the ability to scrape it / wash it out well when done, mere spraying it out will not work in allot of cases . The material reforms into cement or close to it.
Ceramic is the softest of tiles. But when cutting holes in any tile and using hole saw bits, use water and it cuts 5x faster and hole bits last 10x longer.
Snap cutters are actually great. The Harbor Freight model that you have sounds like it's a poor performer, but don't let that color your opinion of snap cutters in general. They complement wet saws very well.
I have this Skil Tile Saw for my home improvements. My only problem with this saw is it moves on the table when I'm running it. (It walks) I had to brace the saw against something. It's very light weight. But yeah, he's right on for small home projects. If you're doing a very large tile project or you're a contractor, get a larger tile saw with more amps!
I'm putting mine together as we speak and the splash guard has 2 screws that hold it on and mine can be tightened all the way down it still falls out of the hole and I can't make the splash guard stay on!!! what do I do? It's like there should be some nuts underneath for the screws to go into!! Not there?!!!
The review of the tile snapper is spot on. Waste of money, and tile. Gave it away. Got a tile cutter from habitat restore for 15 bucks brand new. It's basic, it's wood and steel. And it cuts accurate every time, haven't broke a tile yet
There is a min/max line for the water trough, also - are you reviewing the skil saw or the tile cutter from harbor freight? harbor freight is some cheap ass stuff, doesn't stop me from going once a month though hahahaha. I had to pause this at 4miin as you hadn't really reviewed anything except for the tile cutter. how long did your blade last on ur skil saw? also, do you know if the blade height can be changed? would be great info to know. thank you, and good review despite the extra review on that HF product. hope ur project went well. -Mike
Also, tightening the guard is like tightening lug nuts..half way tighten it then go to the top one half way tighten and then back and forth and you've got it lined up perfectly. I like your way though, will be doing that.
The blade on the Skil tile saw is still working after two bathrooms and a kitchen remodel. The blade height cannot be adjusted. I reviewed the HF tile snap cutter so no one else buys one and wastes their money.
It probably would work with stacked stone. If the diamond blade can cut ceramic which is harder than steel then it should be able to cut stone with ease. This saw can cut up to 1 3/8" thick material.
Also your porcelain tile has a textured serface and ceramic is smooth. What that means is your getting and even score with the ceramic and not with porcelain tile. I'd like to see a review of the difference between the different types of tile out there. Would make for a great video. Thanks again.
I guarantee it is ceramic tile because I use a 2" x 12" slice of it to sharpen my kitchen knives. Porcelain would not stand the rubbing of the hardened german steel knives.
Wrong. The fired color depends entirely on the color of the clay. I owned a business (Norfolk Pamments in the UK) making terracotta (ceramic) floor tiles, and we had a range of clays from near white to very dark red, which we could mix to produce a huge range of colors. If you are going to criticize, at least make sure you know what you are talking about!
I bought this saw. I was doing fine with the straight cuts. I can't seem to figure out how to cut bullnose tile for an inside or outside corner. Could you make another video where you accomplish that? I would be most appreciative. Thanks.
You can but it can be a bit of a bitch at times depending on the type of mosaic. If possible don't unwrap the mosaic and just cut through the plastic/tile all at once.
The tile cutting board is made for ceramic tile not porcelain. You tile is porcelain much much harder to score than ceramic. For the viewers do a proper review of the difference between cutting the two. You'll be surprised at how easily that board actually works on ceramic. Thanks.
It depends on the quality of the cutter you buy. I bought the HF tile score & snap type of cutter and it was horrible. I could not get a straight line on a tile to save my life. I broke down and bought the Kobalt tile cutter for around $99 and that thing is solid. I got a perfect score, snap, & cut every time.
The guard over blade has 2 little screws that dont turn,and theres nothing to really support the guard.It just sprays water all over,cuz the guard is flawed,and isnt sturdy cuz its not in place properly,unless im missing something ?? I know its a cheap tool/it got the job dun 👍
Little low in the amperage dept. to use for a wood saw. I guess if you took it slow and the arbor for the blade and dimension is the same, it WOOD work half ass… WOOD work
How are you going to use water to cut wood the water is going to make the wood expand that's that's really a stupid question is not even a dumb question
I guarantee you it is ceramic tile. I use remnants of some of those tiles to sharpen my knives. Porcelain would not stand up to a steel blade dragging across it.
Lmao more of a harbor freight bash than a review. I'm not hating I'm repairing my piece of shit Skil saw right now because I love the little bastard for my line of work. But this video was great thanks man.
Bashes the Chicago Electric brand for being made in China, yet buys a Skil brand that is made in China. BTW, the Chicago Electric has very good reviews, is similarly designed, and has a removable water tray.
Excellent demonstration. Even through to the end showing how to clean the saw. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Bought this on clearance and planning to do our backsplash this weekend. Thanks so much.
So very helpful! I bought this brand last night and plan to use today. Your instructions saved me a lot of time.
MrDab - Thank you. I bought this today and have never used a tile saw, never laid tile before. Thanks for this demo. Very, very helpful. Thank you.
I've glad you made this video. I'm assembling it now and going to work. I have about a dozen tiles. So it was nice to see it in action. Thank you.

To minimize excessive water splash/spray, try adjusting the blade guard to just above the height of the tile that you plan to cut.
I used that same 3-in-1 tile cutter on my subway backsplash. Cleaning up, i kept finding little scratches and chips from the "bouncing" scoring wheel and the brackets used for pushing down/snapping the tiles. Cheapy you pay, cheapy you get.

Some I have it and I love use some blade for more 2000 tiles. Love it. Easy to use.
great review and tips, Thanks!

Wondering if I should oil blade as it looks a bit rusty?
You don't have to oil the blade. Just hose everything off and let it dry after using it. I don't think rust would really impact the diamond blade.
I've used them both if you know how to use them they both work fine
Well said. I tried the manual tile cutter first, but man it is so useless. I am not able to even cut it in half in a clean cut without any problems. Guessing it just is not meant for my type of ceramic tile.

Got one to help me with my mosaic projects. Thx
very useful vid. Thank you!
maybe you could just lay a hose end in the reservoir with a very slow steady stream to keep it full.
Very helpful info. Thank you
Wow I really appreciate it -- no idea what I'm doing haha but gotta get it done!
Me too😂🤣😂🤣🤗
You make my day when you say piss someone off
Nice review FC1
Thanks, now I'm gonna give her a try
Ceramic is the softest of tiles. But when cutting holes in any tile and using hole saw bits, use water and it cuts 5x faster and hole bits last 10x longer.
Great review. Can I use this to cut wood tiles?
Are the tiles faux wood tiles which are ceramic? Then yes. If it is actual wood then I would use a fine tooth blade on a mitre saw.
Snap cutters are actually great. The Harbor Freight model that you have sounds like it's a poor performer, but don't let that color your opinion of snap cutters in general. They complement wet saws very well.

If you're doing a very large tile project or you're a contractor, get a larger tile saw with more amps!
I did not have that problem of the saw walking when it was sitting on my sidewalk.
Do you find cutting finished side up or down works better?
Not sure I've never noticed a difference.
Great video! Thx.
I'm putting mine together as we speak and the splash guard has 2 screws that hold it on and mine can be tightened all the way down it still falls out of the hole and I can't make the splash guard stay on!!! what do I do?
It's like there should be some nuts underneath for the screws to go into!! Not there?!!!
Unscrew them all the way and place them guard rail underneath the mounting piece so it’s under it. Use the screws to tighten together
@@kevinrichard4610 exactly. The mounting point for the guard is what’s threaded, not the portion on the table itself
The review of the tile snapper is spot on. Waste of money, and tile. Gave it away. Got a tile cutter from habitat restore for 15 bucks brand new. It's basic, it's wood and steel. And it cuts accurate every time, haven't broke a tile yet
Might be good for cutting glass bottles too!!
How true! manual tile cutters are a joke! I was really glad to see it in action! Very nice.. I think Lowes just got my business on this one!
I love this saw

The tiles I cut and installed are ceramic.
Ceramic is a reddish color. And porcelain tile has a grey look on the bottom. Look up the difference. Good luck and good review.
I guarantee it is ceramic tile because I use a 2" x 12" slice of it to sharpen my kitchen knives. Porcelain would not stand the rubbing of the hardened german steel knives.

I bought this saw. I was doing fine with the straight cuts. I can't seem to figure out how to cut bullnose tile for an inside or outside corner. Could you make another video where you accomplish that? I would be most appreciative. Thanks.
You would have to set the table at a 45 degree angle and flip the tile depending which angle you want to cut.
Do you need to use two separate tiles in order to accomplish a corner?
That is what I did on my bathroom bullnose. Cut two tiles ends with a 45 degree angle and thinset them in place.
How much longer it will last ? (blade)
I've used this saw/blade for 2 bathroom and 1 kitchen tile jobs and it's still got diamond grit on the blade.
Does anyone know if I can cut mosaic tile with this?
You should be able to cut mosaic tiles on this saw.
You can but it can be a bit of a bitch at times depending on the type of mosaic. If possible don't unwrap the mosaic and just cut through the plastic/tile all at once.
Have you gotten an idea yet on the life of the blade?
I've installed three floors so far and the blade is still good.
Can you make angle cuts?
Yes, if you mean beveled cuts. I just did my kitchen floor, works great.
How do I replace blade? Can't figure it iut
Take the cutting table off by unscrewing the screws that hold it on and that gives you free access to the blade and nut which holds the blade.
Ya we did that but guess since it's so old and bolts pretty much rusted we couldn't free the nut without turning the blade since no brake
Spray the shaft with WD40 and let sit overnight. If you get the nut off then coat the shaft with anti-seize compound.
PBblaster works better than wd40 for freeing rusty nuts and bolts. WD40 doesn't seem to work as well as it used to.
The tile cutting board is made for ceramic tile not porcelain. You tile is porcelain much much harder to score than ceramic. For the viewers do a proper review of the difference between cutting the two. You'll be surprised at how easily that board actually works on ceramic. Thanks.
Have you changed the blade to a (wood) blade. ......
and cut wood with it yet ?
No, I have a table saw and mitre saw for wood.
Thank you.
One more question. Can you tell me what size arbor does the saw have ?
5/8"
www.skiltools.com/Tools/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?model=3540
Thank you.
If you care.
See the video that makes me what it as a small table saw.

The cutter was a big disappointment. It does not snap, it breaks the tile. The wet tile saw works fantastically. Makes a clean cut and easy to manage.
It depends on the quality of the cutter you buy. I bought the HF tile score & snap type of cutter and it was horrible. I could not get a straight line on a tile to save my life. I broke down and bought the Kobalt tile cutter for around $99 and that thing is solid. I got a perfect score, snap, & cut every time.
U gotta lower the guard so it doesn’t throw water everywhere.
It doesn't matter it still sprays everywhere
I have the same wet saw. I love it. No complaints
Am curious how the motor does get wet
If it gets wet then you let it dry out and don't plug it in until it's dried out.
The guard over blade has 2 little screws that dont turn,and theres nothing to really support the guard.It just sprays water all over,cuz the guard is flawed,and isnt sturdy cuz its not in place properly,unless im missing something ?? I know its a cheap tool/it got the job dun 👍
I read in one of the comments to unscrew the nuts completely, put underneath, then screw nuts in.
What l like is metal top not plastic ~ I'am not good with a angle grinder cutting. Plus it dangerous
Can you change the blade to a wood cutting blade and use the saw as a table saw? I need to rip cut 10 planks
Sure...go right ahead.
Little low in the amperage dept. to use for a wood saw. I guess if you took it slow and the arbor for the blade and dimension is the same, it WOOD work half ass… WOOD work
Can this be used to cut wood?
How are you going to use water to cut wood the water is going to make the wood expand that's that's really a stupid question is not even a dumb question
@@mariogarcia6752 That wasn't stupid question. If it is wet and dry tile saw, you can cut wood.
So the water all leaks out? What the heck?
The water gets kicked up by the spinning diamond saw blade to cool the blade and tile.
Calling Skil a name brand is a stretch but I will buy one!
Firecontrol and a diy
Note to self, Don't do instructional video in the middle of the eye of the storm, instead, take shelter. Video, well done.
Your blade guard is set too high, that's why the water is shooting out everywhere.
Blade guard height makes no difference in the amount of water shooting out.
Theres only 1 setting on height with this model,it does shoot alot of water/but for the price it really works well
Dude can't you find a table to sit saw and work? I guess because I have chronic back pain it hurts me just watching you all bent over cutting.
I usually have knee pads on if I'm working like this. Rolled my knee cap over nails or other things once too many times.
damn that thing makes a mess. the new one with hydrolock has 0 mess but its like 150$
Yes it does make a mess but you can't beat the price.
holy shit that is way too much water
And first of all you're using the wrong hand score for the tile ur using you're not cutting ceramic tile that's porcelain tile
I guarantee you it is ceramic tile. I use remnants of some of those tiles to sharpen my knives. Porcelain would not stand up to a steel blade dragging across it.
@@MrDabrudda I'm looking at the back of the tile in the video it's porcelain
@@MrDabrudda 40 years of experience in tile I'm the one that tiled the Gold Tile that's in the Miami International Airport
I can show you how to cut tile without a score and a wet saw lol no need to get upset over anyting
Lmao more of a harbor freight bash than a review. I'm not hating I'm repairing my piece of shit Skil saw right now because I love the little bastard for my line of work. But this video was great thanks man.
Pouring dirty water into the reservoir. 8:15
It was not dirty. The bucket had an orange micro fiber towel in it. The same towel I cleaned the tile saw off near the end of the video.
Bashes the Chicago Electric brand for being made in China, yet buys a Skil brand that is made in China. BTW, the Chicago Electric has very good reviews, is similarly designed, and has a removable water tray.
Where in this video do I bash Chicago Electric tile saw? I stated you can get a name brand product for the same price as a Chicago Electric saw.
MrDabrudda exactly what I was thinking. Also you said it comes with the blade, which is a bonus.
