Is a sliding deck worth a $60 difference? 0.5 less amps but more RPM on the Kobalt:

Personally, yes it's worth it. Better control.

Yes I bought this and ended up returning it to get a sliding deck makes a huge difference

I ended up with a porter cable sliding deck and like it a lot.

I like this saw but ended up with the big boy ridgid saw because I needed to make miter cuts on ledger stone. This saw has good power for the size and would be great for smaller tile projects.

This is a fine enough deal for a very small project, but honestly I'd really recommend that if you're going to buy a tile saw because you're doing an actual project that's enough to make it worth buying a saw just for that, step up at minimum to a sliding deck one, and ideally to a bridge one.

I personally have the Harbor Freight DiamondBack 7 in [harborfreight.com] one, because neither the comparable Ridgid [homedepot.com] nor the Kobalt [lowes.com] were in stock locally at the time and struggling on my previous little fixed table 7" Skil was slowing us (waaayyy) down. I was skeptical about going with HF for something like this, but it actually turned out fine. I did have to adjust the wheels for alignment, and this was a crucial step that I think some people miss: I don't remember it being in the manual. Once done, perfectly square, perfectly smooth sliding action, and I'd never cut tile any other way again, especially not porcelain. Easy mitered cuts, even though it was porcelain. It even cut mesh backed glass mosaic tile for a waterfall accent perfectly. The blade the HF one came with was decent enough, even.

The Kobalt has some negative reviews to where I'm glad I went with the Diamondback, but it might be fine. The Ridgid is highly reviewed.

Yes, they all run around $350, which, yes, is more than double this. But if you're already doing tile enough to buy a saw, you're already spending a fair bit and need to consider tool investments in proportion to that: and it's an investment that can pay off in a single room if you're doing something like a floor to ceiling shower, in terms of the amount of time it saves, not to mention possibly helping make less bad cuts. With two people working, you can easily cut as fast as the mud and tile goes up with a good bridge saw, even for small spaces with a lot of cuts.

I really wish I had just bought the bridge saw the first time, even if the previous project the Skil was bought for was a smaller project (just a half bath floor) where the fixed table Skil was technically "enough" to get it done. So, lesson learned, sometimes you just need to buy the more expensive tool once, even if it seems like possible overkill, especially if it's work you'll likely be doing again.

This 100%. I learned the same lesson after doing a bunch of projects with a table top.

While others are suggesting much bigger and more expensive saws, I think that, depending on the size, scope, and type of project one is embarking on, that considering the old fashioned score and snap type of tile cutter may often be a better option. They are cheap, clean, quiet, don't need to be plugged in, and are pretty dang reliable once you get the hang of it.

For me, the biggest benefits of the manual way are that you can do it right where you're working without spraying water and tile dust everywhere and you don't have to don PPE for every cut.

I have this same tile saw as well for a small project (fire place marble tile). It worked pretty well and I think great for small projects where you just need to cut and your tile isn't too large. Also no need to wear PPE other than eyewear and ear protection since the blade is fixed. It doesn't get too messy and cleanup wasn't difficult

This is a good point. While I've never used the score-and-snap method, I will say that I tiled 3 bathrooms, a foyer, and and a 2 kitchen backsplashes using only a 4 1/2" hand grinder and a diamond blade. For the next bathroom I bought the cheapest Harbor Freight tabletop wet saw with a cheap continuous diamond blade from Amazon, and it seemed like a huge luxury. Used it for all sorts of tile, marble/stone for window framing and doorway transitions, etc. Done many rooms and jobs with it since, and never seen it as a bottleneck. Always felt under control and ability to fine-tune cuts if necessary.

The point is, there are many ways to get the job done. Having done many tile jobs at this point, I don't ever see myself needing a huge sliding-table saw that takes up 5x the space while it's sitting around most of the time.

I came here to ask this, I am looking to redo our bathroom but I was thinking about just getting a tile cutter and what I'm hearing is if I am not doing many large jobs it may be the way to go

Just beware that the limitations are that you can't do thick stuff like brick and you can't do cutouts/notches with a manual tile cutter.
