The diamond blades today suck. In the old days, a blade would last until it was worn down to almost nothing, and you rarely had to dress the edge. Those thin porcelain blades go wobbly so easy. Something I keep on hand at all times is the Solid Gold dressing stones, you can dress the blade up as often as necessary. I cut into the end of the stone to the depth of the diamond rim half a dozen times or so to dress. When you get all the way across the end, just shave the cuts off square again, and start over. The shaving also helps dress the diamonds. I get mine at Contractors Direct. Thanks for the review. Ironically, my DeWalt was stolen off a job site the other day (along with a bunch of other tools, grrrrr). Still not sure if I'll go with this saw or get another DeWalt.
Great video, thanks man for shearing it, this is very helpful I have the 7” tile saw but I’m running to the same problem all pieces became loosened , great tools.
Great video. I especially enjoyed your demonstrating the cut of the 4' piece. I am going to tile some areas in my home, and I have chosen 2' x 4' tiles. So, this tile saw is much better than fighting with a smaller saw. This $800 appears to be equal to the $1400 DeWalt 36000, which will cut a 36" long tile. From what I have heard from other reviews, is the Ridgid tile blades are a good but not great blade - but I have not used one. You probably would cut porcelain tile much easier if you bought a better-quality blade.
you can there is an allen head on the inside arm tilt it to a 45 and you tighten it and some other small allen heads... i took mine apart and rebuilt it and rebuilt my older one and updated the rollers and cams
I like that plunge cut feature. Is it firm with the head up? I often cut smaller holes from the back side of the tile, but you need to feel when the blade comes through to do it right.
@@CentennialRenovation I figured out how to adjust the blade but the frame moves left to right and it has to do with adjusting the frame and rollers… I couldn’t figure it out 100 %
I used the blade that it came with and it did great. As usual, I replace the blade with every job, so it has a different blade on it now. I honestly think the blade that it came with did a better job than the expensive dewalt blade that I have on it now.
I think so long as you clean it out between jobs and don't get a bunch of tile debris build up in the wheels, it should last a pretty long time. And if not, it has a lifetime warranty.
I've done about four jobs with the saw now. The tray has not gotten wobbly. However, I went about 4 days on one job without cleaning the saw and on the 4th day the wheels were getting debris in them and it was like rolling over speed bumps as I was pushing the tile through. Definitely important to break down the saw and hose it down after every job. I don't think you can go more than 3 days without giving the saw a thorough cleaning.
I killed that saw in 6 months def not an everyday saw for a tile contractor. I bought it for the rip featured fence with the drop down but it fell apart and we clean our saws daily.
It takes a lot of dirty water to kill a pump. I had an MK years ago and my partner left dirty water in there for weeks and we never killed it so I wouldn't worry so much about your pump
Im getting ready to tile whole bathroom for a beginners saw do this unit cover the bases in your eyes plz Sir? God Bless You Looking Foward to your comment..Merry Christmas Jesus Loves You!
@@matthewpicklesimer293 You can certainly do everything you need to with this saw. However, it might be Overkill for just one bathroom. It's more of a contractor's saw in my opinion. However, If you are using large tiles (24x48 or larger) then this is a great choice. If you're using smaller tiles and it's just one bathroom, I would probably suggest a small job site tile saw as well as an inexpensive tile snapper. The Ridgid job site saw is also an excellent choice if you're not cutting large tiles.
@CentennialRenovation okay I do thank you kindly sir the input and wisdom to help me make clearer and more concise choices..Thank You Merry Christmas To You and Your Family! Thank u again
I killed that saw in 6 months the cross members holding the tray square fell apart, the tray lock fell apart not happy with the saw, no comparison to my dewalt
Saw sucks. I use the saw for a year and it worked for a little while but eventually there was a wheel wobble on the track and there is movement on the roller table, Spend the extra and get the dewalt
I just bought this saw, we are tiling a shower tomorrow. For the first time in a long time I’m excited to get up and go to work in the morning!!
Give it till noon , then the reality sets in and yep your back at the same old work and the new saw lost its shiney already 😅
@@whodafukarweetribe you must be a wizard or something, because that’s almost exactly how it went down!😂😂🫣
How did the tile saw perform on your shower build?

I just put fresh water in it daily in my DeWalt and it works great. I have a rigid too. The little one 7-In blade for Subway tiles
It's the bearing on the old saw thanks for the review
hes getting wobble😅
you can there is an allen head on the inside arm tilt it to a 45 and you tighten it and some other small allen heads... i took mine apart and rebuilt it and rebuilt my older one and updated the rollers and cams
im just wonder if i can use this tray and set up on my older rigid

Tip the blade at an angle, theres set screws inside that arm that can be tightened👍
Why no rubie aginst the beast ? Because they are the same saw ?
How do you adjust the table as mine moves left to right ? I’m having issues with it!

I just got one of these and I can see micro chipping on porcelain. It won’t be the blade, has to be armature or bearing.
Probably does that with every saw that's why we use polish equipment
What is the model?
The model number is R4093
Hows the tray on that? Do you think itll get wobbly over time?

I have always used dewalt and I think I might try this saw
In California Ryobi to Harbor Freight gets stolen like anything else.

I have to laugh at a fence with only one point of contact. Hey, jabrony, check those fences for square... bet they are not.
He did check for square. Had the tape out on both sides of the blade. Now a sliding table cut with a fence is a whole other beast.
