Greetings! We have been in the painting and remodeling business for years. I've done several small tile jobs with a small saw, and am ready to make the transition into doing more complex installations. After lots of research and reading reviews, I recently purchased the new Ridgid 10" saw, set it up and started using it.
I'm currently cutting 13" typical ceramic tile, everything was working great for the first few cuts. Now, the saw acts and sounds as though the bearing is bad. The cut is not true, it wants to bog down and "pull", and the blade has even started to "plow" into the plastic surrounding the cutting slot on the table. The blade has a degree of play in it also.
The obvious problem is that I have a faulty saw. Am I missing something? Thanks!
