Re: Tile Saw Of Choice


I am retiring my Dewalt which I can't really complain about. It does have excellent splash protection. I guess it would help if you told us a budget you are working within. If I were looking for a direct replacement for the Dewalt, I'd consider a Felker Tile Master. What I am replacing the Dewalt with is the Felker Tile Master XL Plus. While I think the Dewalt was a lot better than the Ridgid, I still wouldn't put it in the category of the Felker TMs. If that's too much saw for you, perhaps the Felker, FTS-150.

The following article would pertain to Felker, as well as Target:
