"In my opinion" I would stay away from the Ridgid tile saw. We had one come into our shop for repair of a burned out motor and could not get parts for it. The saw, at that time, wasn't made by Ridgid, it only carried the Ridgid name. I'm not familiar with the Dewalt tile saw enough to give you an opinion on it. If I were in the market for a tile saw, I'd get one by MK Diamond, they specialize in tile, stone, etc. cutting and make the best tile cutters I've used and worked on. They're priced towards the high end but are of contractor or industrial quality so will last a long time. If they do need repairs they're easy to get parts for that are fairly priced.
