Looked great out of the box and for the first few days. Then realized the bed was out of square. After messing around for awhile i got it set having taken the bed apart as you cant do this without. took it onsite to cut a load of marble for a complex floor. First thing i realised the water tray is actually very brittle and it burst along one edge wall/base. Have since noticed the wiring on entry to the pump has frayed so will have to tape it up at least or seal it. Also, the black ribbed hose carrying water feed to the mortor has torn itself from its housing. It would have been better design if they had led this up and away from the bridge which it constantly and annoyingly snags on causing failure. The bridge needs oiled to keep the saw fluid on its track. when you have a chunck of 30mm slate on it, it doesn't like it much and you have to go very slowly to stop it from power failure setting the trip. in future i am going for a better and more robust piece of kit. Fair for the money but as they say, you really do get what ylou pay for.

I have been frustrated trying to use this saw on 20mm limestone. When cutting large format tiles of 60cm the saw will not cut a straigth line but persistantly veers to the left and cuts out. I attribute this to inadequate build quality.
