As a fellow kitchen and bath remodeler who watches everyone of your videos I gotta say... you're awesome! You always add new info helping us complete our jobs that much easier and more efficiently. Only recommendation I would like to request is 1. If you will start using these new tools on a daily basis? and 2. if so how often? Then a follow up on how they have performed overtime. Thank you very much!

[@LandbergTileTV]

Will do

[@formulasaltythunder4806]

Did my first bathroom job. Used this for a good part of it. Worked great. Thanks for the awesome review

[@rodneywright4344]

I bought my saw today @ the Loews in Yonkers NY and thanks to Neil for providing great customer service. I assembled it easily after viewing your video. I will post my review after using it.

[@begalbrew5572]

Really surprised at this kobalt lineup tbh, excellent review as always!! 👍

[@reddbeard2030]

Go Berg! Kobalt Really trying to change up the game.

[@dminds8969]

I would have never even considered KOBALT. Probably still wouldn’t buy it, but excellent review and video. Thanks bro!

[@grrinc]

I’ve been using the Makita version which works on their track rail. It’s been a game changer. Factory quality cuts and ultra portable. Wet and vac options too.

[@LandbergTileTV]

I have that cutter in my HD cart right now. Little expensive at $480 out the door with the unit, charger and two batteries. Where is a good place to pick up the track rail? I'll put a Tile Tool Tuesday video together.

[@dustinscroggins3382]

Id like to see that in action

[@grrinc]

@@LandbergTileTV its the same track rail that’s used for the plunge saw, but you need an adapter that fits to the cutter to make it compatible. Not gonna lie, its a ball ache getting it all set up and figured out. Literally everything is sold separately. I bought …. Makita unit Makita 1500mm track rail Makita track rail adapter Makita water feed unit Monolit 125mm dry cutting diamond blade A bush adapter for 125mm blade to fit. I had to figure all of this out because Makita doesn’t make it obvious. If you have a contact email you don’t mind posting, I can send a few pictures that I’ve taken

[@LandbergTileTV]

@@grrinc That would be great. I appreciate the time, here is my email [e-mail]

[@annieli6995]

@@grrinc Hey do you have the model number for the makita unit and the track rail adapter? I am looking to try it out.

[@yz1235]

I picked up mine last week, haven't used it yet, I got the bare tool, with a 20 off100 coupon, it's 89.98, I think you are the first one who published the review!

[@LandbergTileTV]

Good deal! Worth every penny..

[@benbjr]

Hello @LandbergTileTV thanks for another great video, honest and informative. I hope you can make a video reviewing the Makita 18v tool. Thanks!

[@ccadama]

@Landberg Tile TV. Great honest review. I can see you using that Kobalt saw more at work. That is a very innovative tool. Thanks.

[@LandbergTileTV]

Thanks 👍

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

I need to cut a transition from kitchen/dining room to living room/hallway which is all laid with same tile. I need a smooth transition as I'm putting down vinyl snap lock tiles in kitchen/dining room and use a transition strip to separate living room/hallway which is ceramic tile.

[@seanmellows1348]

Looks excellent, thanks for this

[@LandbergTileTV]

No problem 👍

[@lilap3037]

Saw this in the store and wasn't sure if I should buy it or not.. but your in-depth review made me pull the trigger! Great reviews as always! May I suggest reviewing the "Barwalt Saw Shack"? I've been super curious about this product and think it offers potentially tremendous value to installers

[@bowlerfamily]

I have the corded version. I love it. This one looks incredible.

[@Joethetoolguy]

Kobalt is solid af. There is a ryobi version floating about but it sux 😊

[@shettlock]

Looks like a bit of trouble with dust on the thicker ones at the end but really, you put small foam in a small plastic tray on a counter top, it would trap the run off. Backsplashes are never big tile.

[@LandbergTileTV]

I totally agree

[@BORICUACHANNEL]

Love It, Thanks for sharing

[@skosted]

Tried and after two practice cuts and one final cut, all with same poor results (chipped corner) even after slow and steady pace, I'm returning this to Lowes. Have to say I can't recommend it at all. Still looking for a reasonable tile cutter for home use to handle large format tile.

[@garthmalena395]

Thanks

[@justinstephens5840]

This video was very helpful thank you! What polishing blocks do you use?

[@JunoNero]

Have you tried the Makita XCC01Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 5" Wet/Dry Masonry Saw? If so, how's this Kobalt compare to that? Thinking pf pulling the trigger on the Makita but is it really worth an extra 155 dollars?

[@Peakninedesign]

do you think it would do better than score and snap on 48" tile using a clamp as a guide?

[@RawTakes]

I think the only practical use for this is cutting 4ft tiles and fixture wall cuts around pipes if u don't use diamond bits. Still looks like it blows the corners out just enough to notice. So doing a point to point is necessary before blasting through it. Also that blade is shit so with the ones i use it may hold the tile together better. Im still gonna get one. Good review man.

[@MrStonedgolem]

Need to start making handheld tools with a docking station so if you do have ac power you know?

[@Lee-lb9qh]

Nice review, I hope DeWALT comes out with something like this

[@LandbergTileTV]

I agree!

[@nnoor9059]

Could you please guide me which grinder shroud and diamond blades for a beginner. I have asked to many tile you tubers but none has replied.

[@mattburke9991]

Great video, do you hold it upside down to clean up notch cuts or is it back to the grinder every time?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yup, you can clean up corners with this

[@FADEDMINDZ10]

Can this be used in roofing tile?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes it can 👊

[@gilbertohernandez1117]

I want one 😂

[@tbone2451]

Will this saw rip 4 foot ceramic wall tile ?

[@LandbergTileTV]

yes it will!

[@michaelmcauliffe6955]

How is holding the trigger while cutting,is it I'm a comfortable position?

[@LandbergTileTV]

very comfortable

[@idontwantcorporateretaliat6301]

concrete pavers, slabs, countertops?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes, yes and yes! Here is the update video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2mleoKef99kZpo

[@robertmatyjasik6325]

Thats copy of makita dcc501. Does it has track at least? Can you change container and plug it directly to water valve?

[@LandbergTileTV]

No, I'll have a video up soon on that review of the Makita and do a comparison as well

[@robertmatyjasik6325]

@@LandbergTileTV sweet. To use a track for it you'll need an adapter. Then it becomes economic version of rubi tc-125 but on battery. For straight cut its perfect, for miter you cannot use it with a track.

[@jimdavidson5461]

Anybody got experience with Kobalt 36" tile cutter? Or 24"? What can you say about their cutters?

[@beefsupreme64]

What's the best way to get straight cuts with this??

[@gberrios123]

piece straight of aluminum and two clamps.

[@gberrios123]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2mleoKef99kZposi=lug5d4dII-j06Ek5

[@simonstones1918]

Does it come with a guide rail?

[@LandbergTileTV]

Negative, I'll have a follow up video comparing this and the Makita 5" with a rail guide very soon.

[@simonstones1918]

@@LandbergTileTV great, I’ll watch out for that one then. I think a guide rail will ally any fears of an unstraight cut with these small “skill saws” 🙏

[@elizabethross244]

Is it loud?

[@LandbergTileTV]

no

[@ProxyFinal]

How does this compare to the Makita saw?

[@FixthisCD]

I know the makita will on a track with an adapter

[@LandbergTileTV]

There is no comparison, this is much better.

[@ProxyFinal]

@@LandbergTileTV you mean the brushless makita 5" masonry saw is not as good as this one?

[@LandbergTileTV]

@@ProxyFinal no, K meant the 12v 3" Makita. I'll have to check out the 5"

[@TheY0guk]

I would say it cuts glass good but not clean

[@LandbergTileTV]

Yes, but I did push the glass through the diamond blade fast. Polish the edge with a diamond polishing pad and your have a clean edge..

[@o.m.g3944]

Never

[@dannymuir5344]

maybe Its just me,47 years in the trade.I can go to Homedepot and drop $300.00 on a ok stand up wet saw,and it would blow this pc of crap away.Come people,just something else youll put in your truck box and use twice.

[@rotatingrecords]

It's a diy or maybe a tool for a handyman that does sporadic tile work repair and doesn't want to haul around other saws all the time. I guess the bonus to it is that you don't have an arm that would flex slightly or a table that doesn't track, but from his demonstration I don't think that blade gets wet enough that its going to last more than a backsplash worth of cuts.

[@ProxyFinal]

Makita has a similar saw, but it has the option for you to attach to the vacuum for dry cutting.

[@rotatingrecords]

@@ProxyFinal Milwaukee has the same thing with their 3" grinder, a cutting/saw track and vacuum attachment. Just no built in wet, thus far have had zero issues with just damp cutting the trace and dripping a sponge into the cut. Doesn't really make sense to be doing anything but plunges with something like this if you are an actual tiler - you already have better saws for the operation.

[@ProxyFinal]

@@rotatingrecords that m12 cut off saw is no good.

[@danallen1828]

@@ProxyFinal with the right blades it ain’t bad, but it still is one of those rare what If moments where it’s nice to be able to pull this out for a cut or two and be done with it. Some jobs setting up a full size wet saw is just a hassle or not a feasible option. Besides 90% of your cuts can be made with an snap cutter anyways :)

[@alexanderkramenski5033]

Quite honestly the biggest piece of crap I have ever used. Not compatible with most 4” blades. Chips like crazy and utterly destroys tile, glass, etc

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

Like Kobalt better than Ryobi. Only $110 at Lowe's.
