PORTER-CABLEPCE980 Wet Tile Saw

Q: Alway problems substituting other brand blades - and can't find PC replacement blades - can anyone confirm good to excellent substitute?

I've tried several after market blades with this saw. The problem I've experienced is the original PC blade produces a slightly wider cut, allowing the tile to get past the guard support in the back. The blades I've tried produce a thinner cut that prevent the tile from passing around the guard support. I'll try the Pearl P4 7 inch to see if it works, although 50$ is a gamble I'd rather not bet on.

Q: can the saw cut 24 inch long rip cuts on 12x24 inch marble

No, the sliding infeed table only slides back enough to handle just over a 12 inch cut. You can do cross cuts on the 12x24, but not rip cuts. There is no provision for a rip fence.

Q: I bought as Xmas gift and just got around to using it and no mitre square in box. Is it hidden somewhere in the saw housing?

I believe it's attached to the back. In all honesty, I tried using it and found it easier to just hold the tiles at the right angle. That miter gauge is cheesy. Pro tip: if cutting large tiles at angle, remove grippy handle from right side with torx driver. The tile will hit it where it overhangs.

Q: how thick will this cut

I would say 1:4, if you are cutting porcelain that thick take it slow, natural stone will cut easier. I highly recommend this saw, I use it for small jobs, it’s really great in tight spaces. In my opinion it’s the better of the smaller wet saws as I prefer a rolling table for more accurate cuts. I however use an MK on my bigger jobs and large format tile and stone and it’s a beast with no limitations but cost about 10x what this saw cost. I do a lot of baths and kitchens and I love it!
