Hi all, Online Home Depot has 10" QEP tile saws for $296.00. It says 24 in Duel speed w/ 2hp motor. Model # 60020.
One person in my area said the tile guide is inaccurate after a couple cuts.
Does anyone know of any problems with this saw. The price seems to good to be true for a 10 incher.
Any info and experience with this saw would be appreciated
Thanks
Lori

The 10" has to be modified to use and then it is still not good enough to cut a lot of rocks. Been there...done that. Save your money. I also tried the 10" at Harbor Freight. The one you push the carriage through. I modified it with plexiglass sides and moved the motor and blade forward. I also drilled a hole in the cutoff switch and added a wire to self cut off and added a pulley on the back to add weights to self feed the carriage. The rubber stopper in the drain pan deteriorated after a short while by using oil for cutting. But, it did work real well. And was less than $200. ken

Ken and Chuck, thanks for the info. I should have specified that I'm asking for my son who is going to be using the 10" saw to cut brick. any use for lapiday rock cutting will be done when he is not using it.

Well that's another matter entirely! LOL
Amazon had one review (bad), but HD had several reviews, some good, some bad.
Depending on the warranty/return policy, it seems reasonable.

Yes. To clamp a rock on the front of the sliding carriage, it would not let it go all the way through. Ken
