Default touble with this saw.

HMMMM....
another funky website that shows different things to different
browsers... I was searching for a wet cutting tile saw and upon my
browser pops up a picture of set of thin combination wrenches but whose
title is $90 wet cutting tile saw....

yes, I was indeed having tiling troubles, went and got a real wet saw
with a diamond blade, all better now. Wonder if it would cut rock(as in
lapidary type of hobby) after the bathroom floor is done being tiled?

BTW, (metal content), gonna save all the brass from the fixtures and
melt it into something worthwhile like a cannon, yellow cartridge brass
is HORRIBLE to get some decent results whilst casting.

the other "mark"

lubrication and cooling.
If you push the tile in too fast on any saw, the forces will get high

to where cracks happen.




All of these effects tend to be exaggerated when wrenches are used
instead of a saw, daimonds or no...





I went through the sales site to try and find what saw he had.

Turns out its a hand held curricular saw. I don't see how single tiles
could be cut with it. At least not safely.
