Best commercial tile saw for 2023
Hey all - what is the best tile saw out there for cutting 24" and maybe even bigger tiles? I currently have "the beast" by lackmond. Good saw, but tray wanders by 1/16" over a 24" cut and does t adjust easily.
I have a great chopsaw for wood with a laser that's wonderful. I'd like something similar for tile that's capeable of cutting long cuts with9ut the wander, and easy correction for when things inevitably do get whacked.
Thanks in advance f9r your time, guys

Welcome back, Zoe.
Haven't heard of any new or revolutionary tile saws on the market in the past few years, but you can read all our discussions about similar questions if you'll type "tile saw" (including the quotation marks) into the Advanced Search feature.
I still have good luck with my DeWalt D24000.

I'll second the vote for Dewalt. Mine has been great, and I don't baby it even a little. Another option is the Imer Combi 250, if you're willing to go to a bridge saw. Tremendously accurate, fairly quiet, clean, and has a laser. I love them. Surprisingly light for a saw it's size, as well. Only downside is it could use more power.

With large tiles so popular, I'd go with a bridge saw. My Dewalt 24000 lasted about 3 years before I burn up the motor ripping 24x48 x 9/16 thick porcelain.

You mud guys are rough on tools !
I've had my 24000 since 2009. I replaced the brushes in it twice.
still cuts straight and runs good.

I've got 7+ years of heavy use out of both Dewalts that I've owned. Currently, I have the 36-inch Dewalt and like it for big tiles.
Also, I have the 7-inch Delta Cruzer and like the portability and durability of it. However, if you aren't going to be moving your saw a lot then you are probably better off with the Dewalt 24000. It's better engineered.

You cant beat DeWalt saws. Easy set up and break down. Have a selection of blades for various material, and clean during, and after use. Use a bucket under the stand and change water frequently. They will last. Treat them like garbage and they will become garbage. That simple. They just need to do a baby version for simple backsplash tile use. The large saw was genius.
