DEWALT Wet Tile Saw, Masonry, 4-3/8-Inch (DWC860W)

I have been in renovation for 25 years and I would diffidently recommend this saw, I purchased it for rip cuts on 48 inch X 60 inch X 1/2 inch thick wall tile, works great and came with the hookup for a garden hose but it can also run off the DEWALT D36000S Wet Saw pump, that's how I use it.

Una gran herramienta para uso profesional

I very rarely take the time to post a review here on Amazon and I buy a ton of stuff from them. I bought this saw to cut the cement board for my BBQ island project I am working on. I will probably end up using about 20 sheets of the 1/2" Hardibacker 500. I have read a ton of reviews about cutting this stuff and all of them stated that it was a pain to cut and the dust is extremely bad for your health. A lot of people end up putting a very low tooth count blade on their circular saw and wearing a proper 2 stage dust mask but the dust goes every where. After a ton of research I found this saw on Amazon. The saw arrived today and I was cutting with it this afternoon. Cutting the 1/2" Hardieboard was no kidding like cutting butter with a very hot knife. The cut edge is very smooth and it was really easy to follow my cut line. Like others have said, this saw feels very well built with one noted exception that many others have mentioned. The water line fitting hat sprays water on to both sides of the blade is plastic and feels like the same plastic used in drip line irrigation fittings. I won't dare to guess how long it wil last but I would be surprised it itmakes it a year. When it breaks I plan on using 1/4" copper tubing to make a replacement. The water hookup involves screwing a plastic flow restricter to the end of your water hose. For better control of stopping the water eyed I would recommend putting a small shutoff valve to the end of your hose and then attaching the flow restricter to the shutoff valve. As far as the blade arbor being an odd size I just have to say that there are quite a few 4 1/2" blades that already have the arbor reducing adapter in the blade. Those adapter can be removed from those blades and pressed into a 4 1/2" blade of your choosing. Overall I would rate this saw a 4.9 out of 5 stars just due to the plastic water fitting. I would purchase another in a heartbeat If I ever need to replace this one.

Es potente, el corte es poco profundo aún al máximo, la ventaja es el uso de agua para no hacer polvo, para ranuraciones para instalar tuberías o cables está bien.

Bought this instead of the usual table slide tile saw because I knew I'd need some flexibility. Besides who needs another unitasker in the tool box? Saw Saw works great. A lot of comments about how easy it is to break the water injection assembly but given where it's placed it really shouldn't be much of an issue (yes a metal assy would be nicer). Cut the porcelain tile shown and it cuts with very, very little chipping - provided you watch your speed at the beginning and ending of the cut. Jig Making a good jig is critical unless you have special skills with a circular saw. Mine is a short term model but it clamps and provides a straight edge for the saw to ride against. So those halved width tiles have cuts that are nice and straight. Jig is also critical because the water tends to puddle and obscure the cut line. Predefining the cut line with a jig allows you to concentrate on keeping proper speed and not worrying about if you are on or near the line. Other - After one cut your crotch will be soaked. A lot of blowback at crotch level when using the water. - Power and water hoses tend to get tangled up as you go along though that's probably just me. Overall, very happy with it's performance.
