I'm shopping for a decent tile saw, for my DIY projects. Tile isn't
something I do everyday for a living, but I hate buying junk that only
last a couple of years or less, but of course I don't want to pay an
arm and a leg, so I'm also would consider a good used one. Any good
recommendations? Is Felker a good brand? I've always like my Dewalt
tools, but their tile saws are around $1000, a little too much.

I bought one on sale from Home Depot for around $80. It isn't a
professional tool but it has been able to do everything I have needed
with the tiling I have done. It's small enough to thrown in the shed
when I am done. Unless you do a lot of projects I would recommend one
of these.

Target's a good name.
Might try pawn shops and misc. for sale columns for a decent used
one.
Good wet saws here run around five hundred dollars new.

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.
