Alpha AWS-110 Wet Stone Cutter

Not bad at all. Seems very good quality and well designed. I even used it to score a concrete floor 2" before we jackhammered it out -- since I don't own a larger wet saw. Comes with water hose connectors (unlike most cheaper tools). Haven't used the guide yet but it's a great thing to have, fits well and is adjustable. Works great on quartz (so softer stone will be even easier).It has a serious gfci switch which is critical since it works in a wet environment. Extra long cord is helpful to keep connections away from the work area.All in all, it's working great.

This is the most powerful saw in its size class and for the buckI have cut hundred of feet of 3cm marble with this saw, cuts better than my bridge saw with an 8" bladeI paired this up with Rigid's 4 1/2 inch turbo blade and it cuts so fast it pushes mud in front of the saw..Will power thru with less aggressive or lower quality blades;It plunges good with the right support, the only thing missing is a track for marking long cuts.

I used this to cut 1" thick marble. Worked great as long as you go at a slow even pace. I wish the guide rail was longer. I needed 9" wide cuts but rail doesn't go that wide so I had to freehand cut.Also water spray goes everywhere. A clear plastic shield over the side would prevent the operator from getting soaked with water.

I installed 8x48 woodlook tile and couldn't find anywhere that rented a tile saw big enough to make the rip cuts one a tile that big and i want paying $1600 to but one just for to tile 600 sq ft.Enter theAlpha AWS-110. I read about it on some construction and tiling message boards and figured is give it a try and I'm sure glad that I did.The built in water line with the valve on the saw made it so easy to control the amount of water while cutting and the straight edge helped make the rip cuts straight.Not did it work perfectly, but it was also cheaper than renting a small tile saw that wouldn't have even worked for the size of tile I was doing. This is a great little saw and I know that I'll be lending it to everyone that is doing their own tile.

Went together in 5 min, cuts silestone a foot a minute, water spray very controllable, made up for the investment in a single piece I had to trim.
