I make mosaics with mine. - I love this saw. I use it to cut up plates, tiles, cups and salt and pepper shakers to make mosaics. It’s easy to use and very portable. Dot dill to dull of water or you will get drenched but you’re gonna get wet because it’s a wet saw. The noise level isn’t too bad but you can definitely hear it. It seems to be durable, I’ve had it for years. If it broke, I’d buy it again. It’s nice piece of machinery and does what I need. Review: Beat expectations! - As a professional contractor, I really didn't expect much from this saw, as I have tried many saws over the last 30 years to know you need a good motor, blade, and steady plate to cut porcelain and glass without chipping. By the literature, this unit has an undersized motor, non-rubberized plate, plastic ends and body, and no name blade. So, you have to expect that you get what you pay for. However, my goal through the years was to have something portable enough to carry down flights of stairs, big enough to cut 12x12 porcelain and glass tile, strong enough to last more than one job, and absolutely non-dripping! Well, This is the one to buy. There are two models, and this one with water lock is the better model, although twice the cost. So, read the other reviews and you'll see this all confirmed. What I include here is a workaround and suggestions for improvement. 1. The blade guard...Great working device with a rubber seal that keeps water to zero IF you are not cutting a tile. I fixed the screw area problem that attaches it to the table by recessing the screw heads. Next I used duct tape looped over the front air exhaust so water goes back down the table and not up in my face or over the table. It wouldn't be difficult or costly if Skill added these two design fixes in their next revision, especially for the price. 2. The blade...it's a basic blade, so don't bother using it. Get a decent one for your tile job. I used a widow. 3. The motor...it is a bit under amperage as I know it won't last as long as my 12 and 15 amp units, and won't cut as fast. However, I don't know that one that powerful could fit in such a small footprint, or be as light. I do know a 7 amp would be my expectation and would not add a considerable amount of weight, and would be considered a great value for the price point they had this one for ($135), 4. The plastic body is very strong and I had no problems even when stressing it. 5. The top...it is like a teflon coated top, but I don't know for sure. It held up well for the three backsplashes I have done since buying it last month. Time will tell if it starts to rust, but I oil it after every use, so it should be minimized. If Skil were to add a 1mm hard rubber/plastic film, it would be awesome as tiles would still slide,cthe table would be protected, and it wouldn't be tile against metal. 6. The extension arm--yes, it's plastic, but it is sturdy and does the job well! Don't try cutting 36" floor tile as it will bind the saw and give a poor cut--but hey, that's why I put it to the test! 7. The switch..I think it is too difficult to turn on and off each time you make a cut, because of the thick rubber cover it has, but it does the job it's suppoed to do in making it safe! I would either add a bigger switch to use with gloves, or add a more protruding toggle. 8. The unit was easy to clean, but a simple tool storage, aside from drying the unit out and putting it inside the well would be useful. There is room on the tool or the extendion for this to happen. 9. Add an extra brush for the blade. I have not seen where to purchase replacements yet! ## Features - Hydro lock water containment system keeps water contained near the blade and reduce clean-up time - Sliding side extension provides support for tiles up to 18 x 18-inch - Aluminum table top is a durable, rust-resistant surface - Adjustable rip fence with miter gauge for accurate straight and miter cuts - Bevel cuts tile at 0, 22.5 and 45 degrees, giving flexibility for different cut types ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00J21SL6S | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,730 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #2 in Power Tile & Masonry Saws | | Blade Length | 7 inches | | Blade Material | High Speed Steel | | Blade Shape | Round | | Brand | Skil | | Brand Name | Skil | | Color | Multi | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,858 Reviews | | Cutting Angle | 45 degrees | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00039725040114 | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Included Components | (1) 7-Inch Wet Tile Saw, (1) 7-Inch Diamond Blade, (1) Blade | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 21.85"L x 17.99"W x 7.87"H | | Item Type Name | Wet Tile Saw | | Item Weight | 22.1 pounds | | Manufacturer | SKIL | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3550-02 | | Model Number | 3550-02 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Teeth | 60 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Depth Adjustment | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Special Feature | Depth Adjustment | | Speed | 3600 rpm | | Surface Recommendation | Tile | | UPC | 756635738442 785479963406 039725040114 733353566946 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Voltage | 120 volts | | Warranty Type | Limited | | Wattage | 600 watts | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** High Speed Steel - **Brand:** Skil - **Color:** Multi - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Surface Recommendation:** Tile ## Images ![3550-02 7-Inch Wet Tile Saw with HydroLock Water Containment System - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61wGASYvbIL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this include a blade? The info @ Amazon says bare tool, yet the Skil website says yes.** A: Yes, the blade is included. The tile saw includes the 7 in. Diamond Blade, Side Extension, Rip Fence, Miter Gauge, Blade Guard and Blade Wrench. **Q: Why is this model so much more expensive than the model is replaced?

The Skil 3550 is not designed for cutting glass, it is designed for cutting tile. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Skil Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-754-5999 **Q: Will this cut rocks?** A: Yes I use it to cut through many different kinds of rocks, it best to fabricate a clamp or small vice type attachment so it holds the rock in place throughout the entire cut… ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s great saw for many things.

When I got it and finally used it I noticed some good and bad things so the bad first since I gave it a 4 star and your possibly wondering why as soon as I cut some basic 13x13 tile it scratched the surface like really easily I didnt think it would so that makes me wonder how long it will hold up over time then the 2nd major thing is the adjustable track it seems really hard to keep square and obviously thats the biggest part of cutting tile I mean I knew this wasnt the top of the line saw but it moved some on me after I tightened it down and you really haft to tighten it down like hard for it not to budge its an annoyance to meI wish it had a rack and pinion like a table saw does but thats wishful thinking so anyway thats about the worst of it the good is that it seems to come with a decent blade and that you can cut up to 18 inch tile I like that and the water reservoir seems good and the adjustable guard is good so all in all besides those 2 flaws I think I got a good tile saw for a reasonable amount and I got the job done thankfully with its help! ## Frequently Bought Together - Skil 3550-02 7-Inch Wet Tile Saw with HydroLock Water Containment System - QEP 7" Continuous Rim Premium Diamond Blade for Wet or Dry Cutting of Ceramic, Porcelain, and Marble Tile, Silver - QEP 7" Continuous Rim Diamond Blade - For Wet Cutting of Ceramic Tile --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3365392-3550-02-7-inch-wet-tile-saw-with-hydrolock-water](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/3365392-3550-02-7-inch-wet-tile-saw-with-hydrolock-water) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
