iQ228Kit Cyclone 7" Dustless Bench Top Tile Saw Bundle

Finally pulled the trigger on one of IQs dry cut saws. Right out of the box aside from the otherwise quality build, the blade guard, thumb screw snd riving knife are garbage and sent me off to the hardware store. Firstly the thumb screw wouldn’t hold the blade guard, it’s not standard 1/4 bolt, so I had to modify the guard to accept a 1/4 bolt that I had to drive to go get and use a wing nut to hold the blade guard. The saw throws chips, I was a little unpleasantly surprised. That said, aside from the somewhat chippy cuts, it doesn’t create so much of a mess that I wouldn’t purchase it and I will use the saw as it saves me time and energy and money. But don’t be fooled. It does throw a good deal of chips. And the riving knife which holds the blade guard is a joke. It’s adjustable, and if it’s not perfectly lined up which takes more time, the tile won’t clear the blade. So all in all I see some real design issues that should have been rectified. Because of the chips I’m
Inclined to actually use the guard and that whole design is complete BS garbage. Aside from that I’m not dealing with water and I’m able to deal with the mess with regular vacuuming and as for the chippy cuts, they are usually hidden and I’m cleaning em up with a pad. I give the saw 3 stars. Love to give it 4 but that whole blade guard riving knife is just unacceptable. Time will tell if I learn to love the saw.

This saw is such a game changer. Iv used this saw for about 3 years. Very little need for my wet saw now. I might need the wet saw on glass , some natural stone, and very large tiles. Other than that this is my main saw Some people complain about the cuts produced on this machine but if you do it right and brake the blade in you’ll get very nice cuts, with the diamond hand pad your cuts will be near perfect

Amazing service by contractors direct and loving the saw

This is a great saw! Love being able to have it in the same room I’m working in with no water or dust.

If you are a tile contractor you definitely need this saw. I still use the wet saw sometimes , grinder and manual cutter. Been using this every week will save you alot of time.
