  • why not just use Schluter kerdi and some cpvc pipe to make something similar

    after all if you are running an expensive saw in a professional application you likely have some extra laying around from a job.

  • @mintfreshman That's just 30 percent of the rig. You need a secondary large pan to place your saw in. This catches the drips off the primary pan that came with your saw. Then you need the stand to support that secondary table.

  • i would even use this setup outside. Most homeowners are not too happy when the tile dust that was carried by the spray is all over their lawn, bushes, and especially their driveway. Thanks for the video.

  • very nice!! but where are Tim Carter's ear plugs?

  • yeah well how about when you cut chair rail or big tile . what do you do then?

  • @tinovelaj Interesting. I've never used a diamond wet saw to cut wood chair rail. Can you do us all a favor and tape a video showing how that's done? 18-inch tile easily fits on that saw bed and in between the side skirts.

  • thats a awesome idea, i cant believe they cant make a wet saw that catches all the water

  • were would you get one of those bad boys?

  • Uh, watch the video again.... There's a beauty shot of the logo and name. Then try Google.....

  • the base basin looks exaxtly like the washer pans that they sell at menards home improvement, a couple pieces of shower wall fiberglass and you're in business.

  • would it be more economical to make your own with painted 1/4" ply etc?

  • There is no doubt you can cobble something like this together. The biggest challenge with plywood being that it will get squirrelly once wet.

  • entertaining and great information.... thanks

  • Hey Tim where can you purchase " DryGuy enclousure?

  • If you Google that name, you should discover their website. If not, get back.

  • neat saw.a little work on the acting.

  • Thanks for the comment. Went to your channel to get some acting tips, but it's empty. Not one of your own videos is uploaded. Sigh......

  • Get Told Stilln68la

  • The cover looks like it will only work for straight cuts. What if I need to stand on the side to do special round cuts on a raised blade?

  • The sides swing 180 degrees, but once you do that obviously the protection is gone as the sheeting is out of the pan.

  • Best line: PEGS.. WHEELS..LUCKY!!!

    Good one.

    I just did some indoor cutting myself.

    Old slab of hardibacker over a double-bowl slop sink in the basement.

    Not that it mattered too much if anything got wet, but just my shirt got a little damp.

  • Yeah, I borrowed this device from Pedro. I voted for him too.

  • Nice setup! Now why couldn't I have thought of that. I hung clear plastic sheets from the joists in my basement and covered the floor with it too. Still a mess!

  • hahaha, funny entertaining and instructive video

  • That has to be the neatest saw ever!

  • lmao tim do u have a tv show?

  • Yes. Right here. I don't want a show on regular TV. For a host of reasons.

  • Shazam!

  • Wow, $590 bucks for something you can build yourself for under $100. Why are you promoting this Tim?

  • I'm not *promoting* it. I'm showing you a tool. I have many tool videos, some of them expensive, some not. You could make the same comment about the DeWalt wet saw I just loaded. Who needs a wet saw? Just use a grinding stone or any number of other hand/power tools instead of spending nearly $1,000, The point is *many* people don't have the time nor skills to build there own things. I simply show things and you have to make a decision as to what you want to do.

  • I didn't mean to offend you, and I am sorry if it seemed that way. I just find it offensive when people/companies sell things at a nearly 600% markup. Making a profit is one thing, but asking that for this gadget is ridiculous to me. I went to buy a ladder the other day at Lowes, having never had to buy one before, I was taken aback by how expensive they are for what amounts to 10 pounds of aluminum made in a factory in China.

  • Rob, you didn't offend me, but I felt your comment was a tad out of line. You made it sound like I was getting payola. Your ladder story is a perfect example of something else that's wrong here in the USA. Go to my askthebuilder website. Go all the way to the bottom of any page. See the *Legal* text link? Click it and read it. That tells you why ladders, certain power tools, etc. have high prices. As for a 600% markup, you're wrong. If this is being sold it 2 or 3-step distribution, no way.

  • OK, maybe not 600%, but it's up there. Way overpriced for the amount of labor and materials. Especially when you consider that it's likely not even made by hand, but in a factory somewhere.

  • Rob, Heavy Sigh.... Have you ever taken a course in Economics? Supply vs Demand? If this is the *only* commercial product out there that solves the issue for professional tile setters, the inventor can charge whatever the market will bear. If you feel you can manufacture and *market* a similar or better one for less money, then do it. Instead of complaining, focus your energy on making money out of what you feel is a disparity.

  • Eh, I work for a fair wage. I charge people what I think is fair. (I build decks on the side) I'm often a lot cheaper the my competition because of it. I make less money, sure, but I sleep soundly at night. Anyway, you are a philanthropist yourself - your website helps millions of people for free. I am surprised you can't commiserate with me.

  • Rob, it's not about commiseration. It's about simple laws of economics. I can't tell you what to charge for your work. Maybe you're leaving money on the table that would allow you to buy things without feeling like you're being taken. The *marketplace* - buyers - determine what things cost, NOT sellers!!!! Never forget that. If a seller has something priced too high, it won't sell or just few will buy. You should really re-evaluate what you charge for your work. I'm clear on your final.

  • Maybe you're right, but thanks for the discussion, regardless. I'm old fashioned I guess. Can thank my father for that. You are a hell of a craftsman and I respect you. Keep up the good work with the videos and tips.

  • killer music

  • Uh....... Did you stop the video at the end and *see* the logo on the product? Google is a really effective tool for *finding* things once you know the name. :->

  • Five Stars!!

  • Thanks! We had some fun taping this one. It's a great invention by the way as the saws spray water everywhere.

  • lol, nice idea for a video

  • loooooooooooooooooool
