Good choice for light duty homeowners
I bought this since the big MK I also use was too heavy and messy to take into condos. I rehab ocean condos and lug all my tools into the condo for 2-3 months (compressor, table saw, router table, etc). So I focus on portability first. However, the instructions were limited, the arbor allows the blade to not spin true, and the setup screws will be quickly lost after unpacking. But strangely - the saw and fence quickly cut straight after you allow for the width of the blade wobble. Angles require some extra work. I used a 7″ speed square against the fence for diagonal cuts. I haven’t tried the 1.3″ cutting depth yet. It should do it. But for how long? I don’t see it as a long term contractor grade saw but as a saw that can be used for 2-3 yrs with about 2-3 jobs per year.
Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen.

Poor support from Plasplugs
About four weeks ago, I purchased at a Home Depot in Florida the Plasplugs “Master Tiler”, model number: DWW180US-BX.
I am using it for a porcelain tile installation. The original blade worked ok for the initial cuts, but I need to replace it for the proper blade type for the tile. I had bought a porcelain tile replacement blade from a blade mfr when I bought the saw. When I got around to replacing the blade, I found out that the Plasplugs machine uses a different “arbor” than everybody else. The replacement blade was worthless to me.
I then called the Plasplugs US office to order the “high glaze” blade. Much to my chagrin, I was told the “all blades except the standard have been discontinued”.
I just bought this saw four weeks ago! I think it is very irresponsible for a manufacturer to behave in this matter.
You can be assured that I will avoid any Plasplug product in the future.
