Review on πŸ”ͺ High-Performance 7-Inch Wet Tile Saw Blade - QEP 6-7001Q - Ideal for Ceramic Tile by Robert Layne

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Wildly cheaper, but not a great result.

I took a picture and it fits my old Home Depot tile saw. Hooray! Outrageously cheaper than store bought blades and worked pretty well for my shower project. I had to cut an 18 inch tile and there were a lot of them. Everything was fine at first, but as the day went on my tiles seemed to come out unevenly and chipped a bit around the edges. My saw is water cooled and I keep my tank full (because I love that stinky cement water streak on my hair and face) so I know it hasn't overheated. Not sure if it was the blade or the old saw that was the problem but after just 2 leisurely days of the elderly woman cutting shower tiles she stopped cutting very hard. The job got done, but not very well or quickly, so weigh that against the cost savings. I have no idea if the $45 blades in stores are any better, but I'm willing to put in some effort if I can save that much money.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
