Awesome Find
Rating: 5
I decided to purchase my own tile saw after borrowing one from a friend many many times. While my friends tile saw was a very good one (cost well over $1,000.00 dollars) it was also very heavy and not easy to move from one place to another. After seeing and reading about the Qep Tile Tools 83200 24" Bridge Saw I decided to take a chance. The cost was far less than a quarter of the expensive tile saw I had borrowed. But after using it for a big flooring tile job I must say I am extremely surprised and happy at this tile saw's performance. It is top quality, and very well made. Performs as well as a tile saw costing four or five times it's cost. And the ability to move from one place to another is fantastic. And the ease of use is wonderful when doing difficult miter, angle, or corner cuts. Even the tile saw I borrowed didn't have a lazier guide as this one does. It has turned out to be one of the best buys I've ever made. Thank you Walmart.

Great saw!
Rating: 5
I bought this saw for a bamboo plank flooring job. It was perfect for the job as you can make end cuts, angle cuts and rips with one piece of equipment. I connected it to a small shop vac and set it on the floor in the middle of the job. As a bonus, I was able to buy this before the price jumped.

Real time saver........
Rating: 5
1100 sq. foot flooring project at home that I decided to undertake myself. This saw was a real benefit to have available and got used plenty. Mainly used for rips but some for cross-cuts as well. Terrific saw .... works perfectly and saved tons of time.

I Really Only Wanted to Take Off a Half Star !!
Rating: 4
Rating should probably be 4.5 Stars since the only (trivial) complaint would be the swapping of the fence from cross-cut to rip. Definitely benefits from a shop vac hook-up. Cuts with the 36 tooth blade are more than acceptable for laminate flooring, both finish side up and down. Pretty cool to be able to walk onto the job with the saw in one hand and your tool bucket in the other. (You'll want to go back for the miter saw when it comes time for the shoe mold...).

Sweet all-inclusive flooring saw
Rating: 4
The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it's a little clunky to switch the fence between rip cuts and cross cuts, but once in place it works well. Both rips and end cuts were not exactly square, but you can make them exactly square, if you take the time to adjust the red alignment plate, just once. I installed 400 sf of engineered bamboo 3/8" flooring with just the one included blade. It will probably need a new blade for the next job.

Great for flooring
Rating: 4
It is great for 90% of the flooring job I am doing - a little hard to do board length Cuts and would love to do miter cuts - definitely worth the money

Easy to use for a diy'er
Rating: 4
Just using for hobby projects in which I use flooring material. For my needs, it is great. Easy to use, the noise isn't too bad, blade seems good - makes nice cuts. It does make lots of sawdust. It is a bit tricky to get started on a rip, as there is not a lot of fence before the blade starts cutting. I'm glad I got it, as it's much smaller and seems safer than a table saw.

Design for flooring only
Rating: 3
Good for what is made for - flooring - forget about anything else (except you are creative). Blades - be aware - worn very fast on laminate 12mm 3/4” arbor it is just different from others 3/4" arbor so i had to buy from them. If anyone found better blades please let us know what and where! Above reasons for which i give only 3 stars

Cumbersome but got the job done,
Rating: 2
Too hard and cumbersome removing the fence when transitioning from end cuts to rips. My shop vac hose doesn't fit in place of the dust collection bag. Need a larger end(adapter) to fit a standard diameter shop vac. I like the height of the base as a standard 2x4 can be used as a rest for the long pieces. Liked how portable it was.
