A first for Bosch in North America, this new 10” wet saw is very well equipped for stone, masonry and tile cutting. The motor is a 15 amp 1.4HP with a no load RPM of 4,200 which is about the most you can get out of a standard 120v saw. Capacity is fairly sizeable with 24” rip cuts and 3-3/4” high cut depth. We did have a chance to see the unit in person and we have to say our first impression was of very solid engineering & construction. The Bosch TC10-07 ($999, Ohio Power Tool) comes complete with the folding stand GTA10 and is in stock now, with the TC10 base saw unit and GTA10W roller stand to be available soon.
This saw has taken several steps to improve the mess synonymous with tile cutting. A rear and side tray have been added that will collect much of the overspray and return it to the reservoir. From what we have seen the system did a very nice job with the trays being fairly easy to detach for transportation and storage. Will these be used all the time with every unit, our guess is probably not. No matter how much you shield the area tile and masonry cutting is messy business and guys are used to this. That being said for those looking to keep the work area a little cleaner and more professional looking, the Bosch is probably one of your best bets.
The units do not come with Wet Tile Diamond Blades so you with have to get those separately. If you have any questions about Tile Saws, Diamond blades or any specific applications call the pros at Ohio Power Tool 800-242-4424 and they will be happy to help.
