*Works well for a DIY home improvement job **MyBest.Tools** A little sloppy in the cut. Water reservoir is too small. Cut one 20" tile - time to refill.*

This worked great for redoing the shower/bathtub of my kid's bathroom. kzfaq.infoUgkxfiuHoZJo3bgdVPFRxQ-iqPpfbEHl2cYt I didn't like the guide, so I took it off. I just used a fine tipped sharpie on the tile and followed that line. It does make a wet mess, and once I started looking like I wet myself I started wearing a towel and apron while cutting. The blade it came with worked great until we wore it out. It was better than the replacement one we bought. I tried looking for just their blade, but failed. Not really for larger tiles unless you stack stuff on either side to support the tiles. Anyway, would definitley buy again.

I work for Home Depot, and I'm so glad I discovered your channel. Its given me a lot of knowledge of what to recommend to customers. Thank you so much and keep up the good work.

I have had this saw for 1 year and love it. Great little saw and very straight over a 24" rip. Even ripping 36" planks with a straight edge / rafter square clamped to the the table. Thanks for the video.

" Working people feeling respected and feeling valued for what they do " Word !

So I like to learn something new everyday. I did a lot of tile work on a real cheap saw, but it's cool to see that you lifted the tile so there's no extra trimming! Good explanation 👍🏼cheers 🍻

Excellent video! I'm retired and doing projects that I should have done years ago. Your video was realistic and honest . My old wet saw gave out and now I know what to get . Thanks!

Thank you for these videos! I'm a new subscriber and have been binge watching them for the past few days in my spare time. I watch your videos along with several other DIY and Handyman Channels because I worry about the future of my job. I want to obtain as much knowledge about as many different trades as I can. There is no substitution for hands on experience but your videos give a detailed in depth look at the tile trade. A friend and mentor used to say " Knowledge is something no body can take away from you."

I've been watching a lot of your videos and finally decided to subscribe. I'm just a typical home owner/diyer so I've done tile a bit but I think after watching a lot of your videos and different tips/tricks its made my work a whole lot better.

The videos help a lot. Really appreciate the time and care on the videos. Recently, my tile guy was too busy with other work to work on my project. So its back to DIY! Thank you and keep it up!

I've never laid a tile in my life but I subscribe watch all your video's. I appreciate a great trades man or woman that love what they do and would definitely have a go at a small job of my own based on what I've learned from you. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been using the same tile for 2 years I’ve have about 5 different brands and this is by far the best saw for the money. And it’s light weight enough that I don’t fight with getting it off the truck everyday. One man can easily set it up. I do recommend putting the pump in a 5 gallon bucket of water under the drain hole. Vs filling the small tray.

Fist time seeing one of your videos. Not everyone is out there using an absolute top of the line tool for every job. That was a nice demo showing what this tool's wheelhouse is. Subscribed!

I have always been very hesitant to do tile work. I actually limited myself to adding TWO tiles to a floor, of which I had moved a non-load bearing wall!! Then I saw this saw at HD during the extended (pandemic forced) Black Friday sale, for $99- I purchased it, immediately came home with the saw (concerned about telling the Mrs)! Then searched for a video. Thank you so much for giving me an insight into what is achievable with the saw. I am more than happy, that I am now at ease with telling the Boss. I, of course have subscribed to your channel. You also explained the process for your compensation from KZfaq, all of the other channels seem to explain the process, similar to a politician explains anything!

the best tile teacher I have seen. Thanks so much!

Another helpful video ! Just did a total tile job using a borrowed Husky tile saw ....seems like this saw is definitely alot more versatile! Keep up the great work and positive demeanor! I'm actually a long time electrician and started in drywall. I do remodeling now and I love the ability to do tile on my projects! We love you too !!!!

I use this. Have been for about 3 years. Love it. Can't wait to buy a new one.

Those are some great little wet saws bought one when I went into business for myself 5 years later still beating it up love the videos keep them coming man

I don't know jack about tiles but I do watch and thoroughly enjoy all your videos. This comment is to thank you for lowering the volume when using the saw; I also watch a lot of woodworking videos and almost no one modulates the volume for those shots, I appreciate it.

After watching this video I went ahead and purchased a skil tabletop wet saw for $100. It only cuts up to 12x12" but is very similar to the one you used in the video. Thank you for helping me learn how to tile.

I ran a 7" beast say for a few years as my daily driver. Makes the most sense for a lot of projects!!

Breaking my Balls setting up my $850 10"Dewalt, saw THIS video and Sold my Dewalt for a Ridgid, Only trusting Tile coach! Learning amazing skills and tips After a 25 year Tile career! Absolutely the best for Actual tile guys who Sadly are hacks,lazy,misinformed or worse.Not just gr8 for the DIY-ers,and Hopefully Guys just starting all watch This Coach to learn to do EVERYTHING correct to avoid the many bad habits we all pick up along the way.Ive changed so many after watching Isaac's tips and videos.

Great video! I've had mine for about 6 years now and it's still going. I love it! So much so that I recently bought the 10 inch rigid beast.

Great review, your videos are always fun to watch and very helpful. I am always for the next one to be posted. I just purchased this saw but was a little disappointed in the table wobble. I was able to adjust the rollers to get the wobble out as long as all three rollers were still on the rails. Once the outer roller moved off the rail at either end it would cause more side-to-side movement than I cared for. It actually caused a slightly curved cut on a 24 in tile. I purchased some linear rails with bearing blocks and replaced the original aluminum rails and rollers. The linear rails are what you would normally find on a CNC machine. I then fabricated some angle brackets and mounted the bearings at the four corners of the table. The rails are 1200mm long and extend beyond the tray about 8 inches extending the cut length by a few inches. Now I get very straight cuts with no run out and is very smooth. A little overkill, but for me it was a huge improvement over the original set-up. Clean-up is easy, I just wipe them down with a microfiber towel and then finish up with a lightly oiled rag to prevent any rust. The drain hole issue being in an awkward spot was solved by attaching an old fill hose for a washing machine with a hose end shut off valve. Just lower into a bucket and open the valve it drains without a mess.

excellent presentation I'll be watching you very often. You eliminated my hesitation and also showed some cool tricks

Wow you are masterful! I just picked this up yesterday- being an artist, I’m excited about what I can do with it and the quality of the cuts!

Not gonna lie, I saw this thumbnail on my home screen and clicked it because I didn’t like anything else that came before. But I watched the manipulation of the tile on the saw and realized I was watching a master at work. I’ve only done 40k sq ft in my brief career, so I know I don’t know anything; but what I watched you do on that Saw was impressive.

Good to see a professional opinion of a DIY type tool. Sure it may not be the go to for many pro’s but light weight accurate and easy to use is why it exists. I’m building four small (

You are an artist my man. Love it. Thanks for the videos. You have some nice design ideas and great tips for things to avoid

I just purchased the rigid tabletop 7” wet saw at Home Depot for 99.00 haven’t used it yet but it fit my budget for now. I did tile work back in the late 90’s so I have quite a bit of experience. The great thing is that I can cut pavers on the saw too. You have an awesome channel 👍

You make it look so easy. Just purchase the 8 inch rigid , haven't used it yet, but feel better about the purchase after watching your video. Thanks.

Love this saw, especially for us older folks. Lol Thank you sir for your time

Just bought the Rigid 8" with the extended rip. Love these Rigid saws. Nice and light

I started with a 7 inch rigid. They are great and still have mine but mainly use my 10 DEWALT now. Definitely worth the money

First, you’re videos are invaluable to me. Thank you so much for the treasure trove of information. I’m in the middle of a custom shower that I’m building, coincidentally for my cousin. I live in New York and travelled here. And we got the rigid on sale. Weird.

This was very helpful. As a DIY, this looks like a great saw for my needs. Thanks.

I have that saw. I have used it to tile 800 sq ft of flooring in part of house plus a few other projects. I used it to cut brick for an outside patio floor. Great saw for the money. Getting ready to re-tile one of my bathrooms. The counter, shower and floor.

I bought this saw, and so far so good. Had to square it up before using it, and it works fairly well. I'm am getting a little edge chipping from the included blade, so I might upgrade blade. I have two bathrooms to update, and I'm installing 12x24" porcelain. If I knew you traveled I would have called you. I'm a 70 year young disabled veteran, and I am still fighting a bad floor. Used Ditra and it helped a little, but now I'm going have to wet level with trowels. Not much of a choice. Small 25 square foot floor. Love your videos.

That's the tile saw I use always, very easy to transport and cut great, been using it for 7 years now

Glad I came across this video. I was just looking at/considering purchasing this saw for an upcoming project. Good to know you think it's a decent unit, just made my decision much easier. Thanks

I have this saw and it is amazing!! Cuts like a hot knife through butter. Great video, thanks for the tips!

This video is so awesome! After my research and this video, running to Home Depot and picking one up, just for little home projects. For the money, I saved a ton doing my backsplash. 👏👏👏👏👏💪

Thanks for the video. I've been running a 7" Husky that is similar for about 8 years now, and it's holding up amazingly well. Not sure if they still make it, but it has a tube/bushing slide, and is still as smooth and solid as the day it was made, but you have to add oil to the reservoir on the slide every once in a while, but wow, it's smooth as butter. If mine ever dies, I'll probably grab the Rigid you are using, as it looks comparable.

Found this video on the Ridgid 7” wet saw and I am definitely going to be buying one from Home Depot, I have the added benefit of a military discount buying it there. I am ripping out an ugly 40+ year old tub enclosure with leaky plumber fixtures and creating a tiled walk in shower. I am definitely going to be checking out your other videos. I have far more respect for people who work for a living and get their hands dirty and sweat, than phonies who think they are above working people. Especially the satisfaction of seeing the finished product of a job well done.

As a tile/flooring contractor myself, i have to say your the most enjoyable to watch on youtube! Cool calm demeanor while being honest and informative. On the 7inch Ridgid, its the best DIY saw imop, for thse that want to spend bare minimum. I actually use their 8inch as a professional, ive had the 10inch 1300$ 150lb saws, but found for price, everyday working lbs, and productivity; rigid's 8inch is great. Tiles sizes are larger everyday and their will never make a big enough saw for all of them. What saw is your daily driver?

That bathroom tile job with Drew was a good one, & was awesome that you guys were finally able to make it out there & help out. Nice👍🏻 Also, about the “bell notification”: wanted to say, for those who don’t realize, that when you tap/click/press that “Bell”.....you actually have 3 options (All, Personalized, & None.....None is an odd option, cuz why bother tapping bell if choose none 🤔😅) for the notifications & if wanna get notifications for all Isaac’s videos (which you should Cuz they’re Grrreat) make sure to select “ALL”. I’ve used the Ridgid, Skil, DeWalt, & Kobalt Tile saws. The Ridgid is a Fav right now, Cuz of size. The Kobalt I thought would be a great little saw, but the sliding top would catch & stick at times & was just frustrating & so it went bye bye. The DeWalt is a beast... THANK YOU for making the vids & helping to create a community/following, it’s nice to know able to reach out to you & the community. Have a good one ✌🏼

I have the 10” kobalt and love it. The older models form like 3-4 years ago had guide wheels for the table that rode vertically and after a couple years of use would get slop and couldn’t be tightened up really. the newer model has wheels that ride horizontally and that Slop is almost non existent in my newer saw that’s about 2 years old and the newer model. Love it.

Great video! Thanks for the insight brother!! About to get this saw for my kitchen and bathroom projects.

I have the 8" version, saw is incredible! Even with the stock blade it can be hard to tell which tile edge is from the factory mold or cut. Goes through 3/4" marble like it's not there. Cuts near perfect 90 on the guide. Easy to take apart and clean fast. Five stars here.

I have the rigid 7" as well, love it. My table would occasionally stick so I loosened the wheels a bit. Great saw, had it 5 years, use it on 99% of all my jobs.

Thanks for taking the time to share.... Respect.

Thanks for this review - I've owned two MK 7" saws over the past 18 years and the brushes just went on my current one so I'm going to try this Ridgid as my main saw and save the old MK 370 with the new brushes as my backup. I have the DeWalt 8" and I like it for the most part, though it was pricey and the splash over is more than advertised. I'll check out your coeur D' Alene project next!

I used this 7” rigid for 5 years starting my business. I learned on a target, mk, and dewalt but couldn’t afford that when I went on my own. The saw cuts great, it’s light. The only downside to the saw is wobble in the table so you have to draw all your cut lines which adds time. Other than that it’s a great saw for the price

I've owned this saw for 3 years now. I've been doing floors and showers for 21 years. This is the best bang for your buck. I've cut 1000's of feet of tile on it. I've ripcut 4 ft and 5 ft plank porcelain on it regularly. I'd buy another anyday

Have this little 7" saw and have had it for over 2 years. It's an excellent little tile saw. Only downside is the water spray off. It will definitely leave a message inside a home.

Just bought one and looking forward to using it. thanks.

I just got this saw a few days ago. I can't wait to try it out this weekend.

I have the same 7" ridgid tile saw and have only used it on 3x6 subway tile and it worked wonderful. Mine has a lazer to indicate the cut path witch is a great feature.

I own this saw. Bought it used for $200. I've used it on multiple projects from cutting natural stone to porcelain to glass. The table does cause the cut to drift a bit but I can compensate to it by feel. I'm happy with it.

I started out many many years ago on a MK101 then went to a Target and I just a few weeks ago bought a new MK101-24. I also have Raimondi bridge saw. And of course I use the angle grinder for round cuts and so forth.

same here was in my teens when I had an 95 Acura integra and used to carry one of these saws do part time jobs for my dad on weekends and summer vacations. feel like we have a lot in common

Im a tile guy from Nj, love the vids! will watch the video after this one

Got the same saw but mine has a laser light that just dials this in. Length cuts i just lay the scale on the tile and adjust till the laser lights up the dim I need on the scale. Don't even need a sharpie for most cuts. I am absolutely impressed.

Very good information. I am a home do it yourselfer. Have some experience with another tile saw purchased quite a while ago from Harbor Freight. Got tired of being soaked from the water. The water system on it went to pieces and had to rigs a way to keep water on the blade. It was quite a pain to use. Saw works great still but needs some TLC

Just bought one of these Ridgid saws. Cool cut. I learned a couple of things.

I have this saw its awesome but I didn't know about the chop action until after my 4th job. Then I loved it even more

Thank you for your informative videos. I might buy this saw used for my first tile project. Providing I can buy practice with it first. It’s just 12 inch subway, with some sheet glass in a niche. I’m nervous about the job. Mostly on getting the adhesive and grout right, and not messing up in general. The walls won’t be floated, but aren’t so bad to begin with. If we could talk about set up, starting layouts. I would be super thankful. Thanks for posting all your work! Really helps.

A buddy just loaned me his Rigid 7” , I really liked it! I lopped off the corners of 30 Saltillo tiles quicker than I thought it would take! I’m not a professional just a DYIer.

I bought this saw because I was looking for a saw that was cost effective that came with a stand and a blade. I needed to cut 2 inch thick pavers and this saw ripped through them with no problem. They were 15” x 22”. I am very pleased with this saw.

Amazing saw for the money. I just picked one up yesterday for $288 at Home Depot for a backsplash job this week. That single job paid for it 👍🏼

Just got me a second hard (barely used) Rigid Beast. Can't wait to use it. I'm like a kid in a candy store having used a few others and seeing this one in action and the raving reviews on it.

I own this saw, nice to hear a professional like yourself has positive things to say. I also appreciate showing some of the ways you use the saw...as well as the inspiration of where you started, love the videos.

Isaac, i noticed the increase in subs on your channel....keep up the good work buddy and best of luck to you!

I really appreciate your videos. I would have struggled to figure out to lift the tile into the blade to avoid the blade curve issue. Thanks!

I’m a second generation Ridgid user these tile saws are amazing

im a diy’r, and have installed travertine backsplash in our last home, and now honed marble backsplash in this home, as well as slate tile on several floors & LOVE it! wish I could upload photos. It is an amazing little saw. You must change out the blades, of course. and when doing the backsplash in this house, after two projects of slate for floors, I found my cuts were not straight. Found a video of another person who explained that you have to readjust the tracks every so often by loosening the bolts/nuts, moving the tracks & tightening them.

I use this same saw..solid 20 jobs done, just change the blade on the reg..also have cut 2 1/4 cement pavers with it..dust free living..great saw.

I just purchased this saw at CA$199!! Im so excited to test it out tonight!

This video was really helpful.

Really enjoy how you are willing to test new products and procedures to find out works best. Wish you lived in so cal, would hire you in a minute to redo my master bath. Let me know if you can recommend folks around Orange County that do hints your way.

Like the way you maneuver your tile around to cut the diffrent angles. I was taught by a 30year tile installer, he has the exact same technique as you... #NiceJob

This is one of many wet saws in my business. It's pretty good for the price point, and very handy for smaller projects. One really goofy and annoying feature is the placement of the drain plug in the water tray, it is on the side and makes a real mess when draining it. It is also a generally messy saw in terms of water getting everywhere compared to DeWalt (which for some reason you seem to dislike?) Great video though, keep up the good work!

I just bought thos saw , Ridgid r4031s was expecting to pay 388 plus tax here in Ontario Canada at Home Depot but to my surprise it scan for $288 plus tax so $325.44 total which I believe is the best price ever for the saw don't know why it's standing on 288 didn't say there was any sales online for as much as 1299 🤯 if you do a Google search and go to shopping first one makes no sense I'm coming from a tabletop saw so this is an incredible improvement to me I got the table to blade squared up and it now has very little wobble 1/16th now I'd say on a 24x12 just purchased it January 27th for that price 2 days ago amazing for the price

I am a professional tile installer , and i have my own business, im always asked about my Dewalt 10 inch wet saw , and i always tell them " its the most valuable tool i have "

Totally great saw, max bang for buck. Super easy and lightweight, cuts just fine, and very versatile for a small unit. It’s a bit messy, you need to set up a back spray catcher.

Just bought one of these for my bathroom remodel, looking forward to getting it setup and running but as a hobby woodworker lifting the tile to finish the cuts gave me anxiety 🤣

Very nice technique on the U cut

Just bought this saw because of your review.

Just purchased the same saw working great

Someone stole my 10” dewalt last fall. I replaced it with the 7” rigid. Turned out to be a real surprise. I agree with you.

Love all you videos brutha , I've learned so much , found out how much I really love tiling since my 1st bathroom remodel , you and 1 other are my 2 main go-tos for tiling info... Sal D. And you saved my life , Thank you and keepem coming..!

I love this little saw! I've done probably 20 tile jobs with the little 7-in rigid. Some pretty high on jobs too. Unfortunately it just gave out on me and I traded up to the 10 inch rigid over the DeWalt because I can rip a 48 inch tile with the rigid, which is something that DeWalt doesn't offer.

It is a great saw. I have one and its does pack a big punch. Its an excellent saw for the price and its got a great life long guarantee.

2 thumbs up 👍 Coach. Great informative videos. Thks.!!

I got the 8” version and that thing is fantastic! It’s only about 100 bucks more than the 7” and it’s definitely worth it.

I have a 3rd floor bathroom project coming up, and really wish I still had my Ridgid 7". I upgraded to the 10", also a great saw, but should have held onto the 7. Quite a few times I would have preferred it. In fact, it is fully capable of most tile work that I do. Only a few jobs "require" the 10".

I have an older version of the saw. It's a good little saw my old gripe is the fence stop. Nothing holds it to the back fence other than a clamping motion, and it's a screw so tightening it up can cause the stop to twist, often moving the stop. I found putting a small quick clamp on the fence works better than using the stop

I bought this wet saw when it first come out 5+ years ago. Great wet saw for the price and quality. It eventually burnt the bushings after 4 years or so. With that said If I can use any tool as hard I use them for 4 years+ then it is well worth the money in the long run In my bookkeepin lol. Good enough that I bought another one without any hesitation at all. For the most part we turn key kitchen and bathroom remodels so we might not use the wet saw every day but we usually get it out of the work trailer every project or every other. Great product. I am not sponsored by ridgid by any means but you can not get a better product for the money with the warranty. Sorry you just can't. Also they give you free battery replacement. I still don't think another company does that. I could be wrong... I haven't had to purchase other products but ridgid because they have had our backs over the years.

I have the 8 inch and the 7 inch ridgid saws, I like them a lot!

You have very steady hands. I guess that's why you had great success carrying the pigskin.
