Good but not great,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: QEP 60083 7-Inch Professional Tile Saw with Water Cooling System (Tools & Home Improvement)
I got this saw for a couple of bath remodels. Overall, the saw seems good, though I haven't used it extensively yet. But I do have a few problems with this saw.
1) The included blade was not only of poor quality, it was dangerous. The blade warbled so bad that the saw jerked and shook when cutting and it caused a few tiles to bind and crack. I was ready to return the saw when I tried a new blade and the problem was gone. 2) After less than an hour of use, the handle on the rip fence came off. The pin on which the locking handle pivots broke and fell out. I had to fabricate a new pin. 3) The rip fence is not self-aligning, meaning when you lock it, it isn't automatically adjusted to be parallel to the blade. It can be off by as much as a 1/4 inch front to back. This is annoying because you have to adjust the fence position both at the front and back of the table, then hold it securely in place as you lock the blade. One other minor complaint is the location of the on/off switch. It is right under the front table rail where it is not readily visible, but instead you have to feel for it. This is even more of a problem when the rip fence is positioned near the on/off switch as it partially blocks access to the switch. The saw does have some nice features though, like a laser cut guide, a tilting table for bevel cuts, and a fence-sliding miter gauge. In spite of the quality issues I experienced with this product, I still believe that this saw is better designed and has better features than cheaper models But it definitely lacks the quality to be anything more than a do-it-yourselfer tool.

Fundamentally solid.,
This review is from: QEP 60083 7-Inch Professional Tile Saw with Water Cooling System (Tools & Home Improvement)
I spent WAY too much time trying to figure out which saw to buy. Eventually, I was standing at Lowes and had no more time to debate. I was putting in a granite tile countertop for my first DIY tile project. I cut about 100 lin feet with the saw and a DeWalt blade. In the plus column. Results were good. I got very true and straight cuts with the saw. The fence is just good enough - easy enough to set up and stays in place. I used an adjustable square to ensure the fence and wheel where parallel and accurate. Depending on your accuracy requirements, the grid on the top of the saw is close enough that with a smaller tile you could just use the table references to get it close - the grid is actually parallel to the blade! Plenty of power -the motor never slowed. The whole thing packs up really nice and compact for transport - blades and accesories store in the water resevoir and the handle mades for pretty easy carry. And it is very quiet. On the downside - holy crap did the water go everywhere! I never attached the blade guard - maybe that would have helped, but I figure any good craftsmans' first duty is to defeat the safety measures. MAYBE the "blade guard" is a splash guard? In any case, I soaked a shirt. Sort of like standing in the rain running a sandblaster. I found the table to be adequate size for 95% of the cuts, but anything wider than 10inches requires you to cut the negative off to get your finished size. In short, a good tool. For the price I expect a few minor inconviences but the fundamentals are very good.

I bought this QEP 60083 1-horsepower tile saw from Amazon....ordered it saturday jun 5, 2010...and received it tuesday jun 8, 2010...
I do art work......using 4x4 ceramic wall tiles I cut and shape pieces using a wet tile saw.... and make what I call mosaic art work.... I ordered this saw because I needed an up grade from the wet tile saw I had.... the workforce THD 550 which I bought at Home Depot.. I wanted one with more cutting power (1-horsepower) in order to make cleaner cuts... this saw has thus far filled the bill it cuts fast and makes nice cuts..very little jagged edges... The blade supplied with this saw is garbage....so I replaced it with a DeWalt diamond blade number 4760... with the new blade the saw cuts really great.... this is a good saw for the diy person, and I highly recommend it...but be prepared to get a replacement blade..DeWalt DW4760 7-inch Dry or Wet Cutting Continuous Rim Saw Blade with 5/8-Inch Arbor for Ceramic or Tile Willie...June 11, 2010
