I second this saw. I bought it for $69 2 years ago, and used when I
finished my 1500 ft basement floor. I must cut a few hundreds of the 12"
floor tiles a a couple of hundred of 6" wall tiles for the basement bath
and kitchen. I even used it cut over 10 pieces of granite tiles for the
basement kitchen - particularly the cutout along the sink opening.
The saw (and the original blade) worked fine for all those cuts. A
friend borrowed to do his kitchen floor (200+ ft), and currently in
another friend home (for finishing basement floor and bath). Hope it
will still works when it comes back.
