There are many ways to cut tile. In this video I show you how to use a wet saw and a dry saw. There are also many little tricks. Wet saws are great but they require more setup time and a dirty place to work....

OK first lets talk about the scoring blade type of tile saw. They work great on some tile. Just a long as the tile has a smoother finish you will be fine. Something like a bathroom wall tile where you have a smooth surface. But when you have a rougher finish as most tiles used today this kind of saw may not be the best choice.

This is when a wet saw would be the better choice. With a wet saw you can make smaller cuts and more acutely. Not to mendion fancy cuts, like a L shape cuts. Or say you cut a tile and you made it jut a little to big. Well with a wet saw you can just trim a little off.

Now a wet saw is called a wet saw because it uses water to cool the blade not to menion it's the dust down. But with water they can make a mess. I like to mark as many tiles as I can to be cut then go outside where I have the saw set up. Yes it can be very time cunsuming. Now on the other hand the dry saw I keep right next to me, it make the job go a lot faster. Most of the time I have both on the job. Straight cuts with the dry saw and the more fancyier cuts I have to go outside on the wet saw.
