Cutting a tile at an angle? Although some of the table top types come
with an angle guide to help with this, they're not as flexible as a
sliding saw.

Fixed blade machines can do angled cuts too, just not as easy to use
that way.


Generally you have to do them freehand. So not easy to do lots *exactly*
the same - unlike when using a fence.


If you want accurate repeated cuts, take a piece of thin board, place
tile in position, mark and put in some screws. Slide the whole
assembly through.

The erbauer comes with a palstic guide for 45 degree cuts, handy for
those iffy looking diagonal tile jobs.
