*Works well for a DIY home improvement job **MyBest.Tools** A little sloppy in the cut. Water reservoir is too small. Cut one 20" tile - time to refill.*

[@birbal5]

This is a fantastic little tile saw, I've redone my downstairs bathroom and put in a marble tile floor in our kitchen. Really good bang for your buck with this little gem.

[@anthony-ju6qo]

Bought this saw in April 2023 for $100 at Home Depot. I made about 20 ceramic tile cuts and it worked great. The only issue was the 12' tile hitting the metal part of the blade guard. Had to constantly bend it slightly to cut tile. Just took it out to do a 2nd DYI job and the drain plug was leaking ,then fixed it with a rubber washer. I put the blade on and it was wobbling and shut it off.I looked at everything closely and noticed the two big holding washers for the blade was warped. I brought it back to HD for a refund. I ordered and received the Porter Cable table top saw due to its 1 HP motor , quality and great reviews. After many uses, it's my prized possession.

[@SaturnCrashing]

straight to the point fantastic vid, thank you

[@MojoPup]

Thanks, was just looking at this one.

[@Ubertubermeister]

Be aware that not all of these saws operate as nicely as the one in the video - I bought one at the HomeDepot and the two halves of the table were not flushed in height - I took it back to HD and before exchanging I opened 4 boxes with an employee before we found one with the table top that was close enough in same height. SO I get the new one home and assemble it but it vibrated horribly at the start then it smoothed out as it ran. Then when I hit off switch it vibrated like crazy as it slowed down. After doing that several times I noticed as the blade slowed down I could see that it was warped. I took the blade off and reinstalled it several times to see if it was user error. Without the blade it was fine. Blade kept wobbling and the machine kept vibrating (maybe spindle is off balance). I've seen the same problem written in the HD website reviews. Many say they solved the issue by replacing the blade...that means another $39+ on a quality blade. So as of 07/17/2021 the price of the machine plus blade will actually be $164+ instead.

[@MarkNOTW]

Probably have to replace the blade on most cheap table top saws

[@DMEN34]

Mine started vibrating after a couple of days and I can’t finish my project. I will check the blade. Thank You for your honest review.

[@TTSetters]

Doing a long rip cut is the true telling of any saw and why you have to spend $350 plus if you are into large format tiles (12x24, 18x18, 24x24, etc). There are ways to hack this saw to do large rips. You basically have to bust your carpenter skills and make a support area and extended fence, and also have to realllllly adjust everything to prevent wobble and get straight cuts. Nothing is worse than thinking "oh it's so straight" then RIGHT AT THE END the little bit of wobble breaks the tile at the very end. Haha ya you know what I'm talking about. I'll agree, this little tile saw is great for smaller jobs and especially all that small tile, mosaic stuff. You can really make this saw better by getting some sheet metal and working it around some metal frame mini ibeams and what not, extended fence....but at that point you are basically making a large format saw and spending $ to do it vs buying the correct saw. I've had to hack little saws to do big jobs because I was in a pinch heh.

[@shotbymarlozan]

Hi. The cover that covers the saw can be removed to cut Bricks. Not very big bricks. 2 "thick maybe. Garden edging Bricks. Thank you!

[@missprissy59]

Nice video thanks I about to purchase this saw and I wanted to see how it works. Can it cut glass a notch in glass backsplash tile?

[@xlthumper]

[@homebuyercs8020]

Turn the tile over and cut with the finished side down. Works every time!

[@jamesandrew62]

Can i cut small obsidian stone maybe 3incb by 4 in, about one inch thickness? Thank you!

[@laramaui4114]

Great simple demo. Thank you

[@NicholasANappiNick]

Great saw.well worth the money and some.

[@staticclay]

Hi there, I am installing a glass and stone mosaic backsplash in my kitchen about 28 sq ft worth. Will this ryobi saw cut through the mosaic tile since it has both stone and glass mixed in on the mesh back ie. its not just glass? Do you know which blade I should use to accommodate both types of tile material? Thank you in advance!

[@mongjedi244]

Hi Rusty. I own a remodeling business and use this lightweight Ryobi for backsplashes and small bathrooms all the time. I would purchase a higher end ceramic blade or a middle of the road glass blade. Continuous rim is my preference. The Rigid Premium blade is a nice ceramic blade at $45 and their glass blade is about $30. I've had great results with Quasar, Rigid, MK, Alpha, Husqvarna. Don't buy a cheap blade. I use the 7" Alpha Vetro Glass blade but that's overkill and unnecessary. Glass blades and nicer cermaic blades have higher concentrations of diamond granules that are oriented in a better pattern than cheaper ceramic blades.

[@staticclay]

J W Thanks for the detailed reply. Since my mosaic tiles are mixed with glass and stone, will i need to change the blade for each material being cut, so cut glass then change out blade then cut stone and repeat this? Seems like a dumb question I know, I was hoping one blade will cut through both materials since they are glued to mesh backing. I plan on getting a good quality blade for sure. I was just hoping theres a blade that double duty for glass and stone/ceramic type tiles on mesh mosaic.

[@pdogakron1623]

so was the glass a go or no?

[@deftdawg]

Nice review... Did you find the guard was easy to keep straight, that's been a complaint with some other saw's like the cheap QEP ones? (Should wear eye protection when cutting stone with power tools, just sayin' :D)

[@LandbergTileTV]

+deftdawg Yes, the guard has held up and stays straight and usually we wear eye protection, will try to remember in the next video! =)

[@shoes121255]

I have issues with the blade guard on this saw pinching the work on long rips. I find the overall sturdiness and preciseness to be better on the kobalt 7" saw for not too much more money, however I think I'm going to try the porter cable saw you recommended for the fact it has a slide tray.

[@mschnepper]

I borrowed this from my neighbor and am having the same problem as far as the long cuts catching on the back of the blade guard. Since it is a used saw, I thought maybe the blade had worn down and was making cuts that were too thin, resulting in catching on the back of the blade guard. Can I fix this with a slightly thicker blade/cut OR is this just a fault of the saw/it's not good for long rips?

[@shoes121255]

@@mschnepper I think its just the saw. I found the kobalt saw to be better but still returned that for the porter cable. The porter cable seems much more well built

[@mschnepper]

@@shoes121255 Thanks! I borrowed it from my neighbor to do a small area behind my basement bar (as a trial run to get some experience tiling). The pinching made it near impossible to rip a 12 x 24 tile on the long side. I only need to do a small bathroom next. If I go with large format again, I think I will just rent a better saw for a day (the bathroom is only about 32 square feet).

[@shoes121255]

@@mschnepper you could also try a score and snap cutter. It doesn't do too bad, for floors most of my cuts are under the trim anyway.

[@jasonboney371]

How much dust kicks out the back? Can this be used inside or would it make too big a mess?

[@LandbergTileTV]

No dust, only water spray. The spray for these small tabletop saws kick the spray towards you, and not in the back so they are built to use inside..very minimal water mess..

[@johnhandcock3242]

Is the blade that comes with it any good, or would you need a new one for install porcelain planks?

[@LandbergTileTV]

yes, the blade included cuts porcelain

[@kentuckywindage6765]

Great review

[@vicofsf8314]

What blade do you recommend to replace it.coz I got an old blade and it’s dull alrdy,thanks more power to your show,

[@LandbergTileTV]

+Vic Of SF we replaced the blade with Rigid blade from home depot. Thanks for watching!

[@chrisl8006]

Just curious......you said you wouldn’t recommend for anything over 100 sq ft?? Did you mean in one day? Any particular reason?? I’m doing about 225 square ft and I need a good wet saw.

[@LandbergTileTV]

It simply will take too much time to cut tile for that amount of square footage. I would suggest picking up a 7" Dimondback from Harbor freight or a 7" Ridgid from Home Depot. They are cheap saws, and you can easily re-sell on Craigslist or Facebook after you're finished with your tile project.

[@eddyflo2978]

Would it cut brick.?

[@josephgraham1065]

Why didnt you use the lifetime service agreement for the Ridgid ?

[@RockwoodJoe]

How has this saw been holding up? I need to replace my almost dead 7" QEP. Thanks.

[@LandbergTileTV]

The saw is great! We still have it and use it.

[@Cryptony1975]

My tv wall is 88 sq ft. I bought the MSI stone tiles. They are thick . Real stone. Would I need another blade for this saw?

[@LandbergTileTV]

I would use the blade it comes with and I don't think you'll burn it out. It should be fine 👊

[@josephgraham1065]

Do you think this is better than the Kobalt 7 inch sliding top?

[@LandbergTileTV]

They are about the same quality

[@timmytorres3443]

Hi can I put a timber blade to do timber work with this saw ? Thanks

[@LandbergTileTV]

Negative, only diamond blade for tiles/stone

[@laramaui4114]

Can you demo the diagonal cut?

[@LandbergTileTV]

yes, it can cut diagonal

[@mostlyfromscratch3510]

What brand of blade do you prefer for a saw of that type?

[@LandbergTileTV]

We like and regularly use the P4 (Pearl) 👊

[@grady1807]

I bought this. Don’t like it. Tile always binds up 3/4 way through because you cant keep the guide straight. Spend more money and get a better overall saw IMO. I only use it for cutting 22.5 degree angles, freehand. I’m good, real good.(not really)

[@Ubertubermeister]

I agree - after I finish shower floor it's going back and I'll get something better to do the walls...

[@chaconjohnson]

would this be ok to cut a 39 inch long plank long ways using the guide rail in your opinion?

[@LandbergTileTV]

I wouldn't recommend that, use a grinder with a diamond wheel with a wet sponge or a full size tile saw. 👍

[@chaconjohnson]

@@LandbergTileTV lastly, how would you suggest cutting straight lines with a grinder? steady hand, some sort of guide? I have a grinder but no guide for it.

[@LandbergTileTV]

@@chaconjohnson We draw a line and use a steady hand. Maybe practice a bit before the cut that needs to be installed.

[@momiimam2485]

Is this good for large porcelain tile 24/24

[@LandbergTileTV]

no, need a 7" or 10" wet saw

Will this saw cut thicker glass about 1inch thick with a more expensive diamond blade?

I'm sure it would with a better blade and as long the glass is not tempered glass. 👊

[@TheFaithtrix]

Landberg Tile DIY TV I am pretty sure it cuts up to 1 1/2" but double-check.

[@michaeljordan1817]

Why would you only do a 100sq feet max? Is it because of the blade?

[@LandbergTileTV]

+michael jordan you can definitely do more than 100 square feet of tile. We have used this saw for thousand plus square feet of cutting in the last few months and the blade is great still. A larger 10 inch wet saw simply cuts faster if you are installing more than 100 square feet.

[@MLCIT]

I like it, except for the metal guard in the back that isn't quite straight with the blade. It makes it impossible to use the guide because it's not lined up. I can't figure out a reliable way to fix that issue. I end up just using a grease pencil and make a line with a straight edge and then eye the entire cut. I feel like this a fairly large flaw in the design.

[@spike378]

The metal connecting with the plastic cover piece can be adjusted by loosen the 3 screws. I figured this out on my first pass through.

[@alieshmariegarcia5667]

That saw is a pile of shit. The fence is a pile of shit. The guard is a pile of shit. Buy a different saw.

We still have it and it runs good! We're now using a cordless tabletop saw with a rolling tray, check it out and tell me what you think... kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHuziZuwZr9obJI

[@smitlag]

The fence is cheap no doubt. I am not even going to mention the miter attachment. But for a DYI person only doing an occasional tile job it works well with a decent blade. If you do this kind on thing on a regular basis I would go with something much higher end.

[@kathrynliu74]

Your arms are in the way the whole time you ran the tiles through the saw... and you didn't cut the plank length wise.... 👎🏻

[@laurenprincehouse]

This worked great for redoing the shower/bathtub of my kid's bathroom. kzbin.infoUgkxfiuHoZJo3bgdVPFRxQ-iqPpfbEHl2cYt I didn't like the guide, so I took it off. I just used a fine tipped sharpie on the tile and followed that line. It does make a wet mess, and once I started looking like I wet myself I started wearing a towel and apron while cutting. The blade it came with worked great until we wore it out. It was better than the replacement one we bought. I tried looking for just their blade, but failed. Not really for larger tiles unless you stack stuff on either side to support the tiles. Anyway, would definitley buy again.
