Topps Bridge Saw

[newpark7]

Hi all

Anyone had any experience with the Topps Bridge Saw large yellow radial arm saw currently £199.99 in Topps in my area seems good value but not sure on quality? Would love a Rubi but a bit out of my price range.

my bridge saws i plunge cut at he start go halfway through the tile then plunge the the back of the tile then cut it again this stops the chipping

Thanks for all tips guys - makes perfect sense now, have also ordered a good quality blade from Tradetiler hoping this will help improve the cut.

Hi,
Used one only the other day to cut limestone for a floor. Not my saw ....but when the need arrises on a regular basis I would buy one. I know its not your usual named gear but it did the job, cleaned down ok and saved loads of time. Its a bit big and heavy to move around.....but they probably all are ? At that price , if looked after it would pay for itself in no time with regular big wet cut jobs.....and not too expensive to replace. I havent used any other to make comparisons to be fair....but like I say it worked ok for me. Hope this helps.

Is this the QEP bridgesaw - I bought one of them from Topps and I love it.
Gaz if this is the saw you're on about then what kind of faults were people having?
