How accurate is the alignment, both for straight and 45° cuts?


I cut straight pieces to within a 32nd of an inch. 1/16th would have been
good enough. The 45° were very close. On a full tile (4 inch) they were
spot on. On my trim tile pieces (two inch wide band) you had to hold the
tile really tight against the plastic slide. Not a problem.


Great.


That's great news. How quicky does it cut a tile in half, Ivan?


I wasn't pushing it. About three seconds to make a 4 inch long cut, full
depth.


Buttery Goodness! That's good. Diamond blade life?
