I don't know what you budget is. I bought ( about 6 Months ago) an MK 770
EXP from tool crib for $500 and that included a stand. The EXP will do 20"
tiles. I would not consider it a professional saw but top of the line home
owner.The only thing I can say I whish I bought it ten years. I have always
used a snap cutter and 4" grinder with a diamond blade. I only do tile once
in awhile, but I just did 800sq ft of 18". The saw is worth every Penney.
The only way to go night and day. MK is one of the top tile tool Co. so
check them out.


Just curious... do you use a saw for every cut or just the corner cuts?
I find it faster to user one of those scribe cutters for most straight
cuts and they do a good job. I rarely used my tile saw.
