I purchased one of these cheap tile saws for some home tile projects and it has done a bang up job. I would only rent a big tile saw if I had really large or really thick tiles to install. Otherwise, this little guy did a super job.

u/Antolini · 5 pointsr/glassblowing

From what I've seen, most people who start up a studio by themselves build everything they can. This include the furnace and annealer along with the other stuff you mentioned you would build. This is because its twice as expensive to buy it from a company like Wet Dog Glass compared to just building your own. The tools would probably cost 2-3k which is nothing compared to everything else you would need. I just googled the wet tile saw ~$200

Furnace glassblowing is probably the most expensive studio craft there is out there...

/u/BlueRockStar might have some more numbers in terms of gas bills and things.

Just picked up this through Amazon for $85 and am pretty happy with it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HIWR08/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is much better quality. I don't know about the $.49 stuff. I used to use the HD stuff, and when I found this I decided to get the $1.50 stuff (they have 10% off sales on occasion). Instead of 7mil, it was 13 mil and came in "random" (about 4 different) lengths with beveled edges. Just as easy to put down and I didn't have as many "click edge" problems. It looks as close to a real hard wood floor as I have seen. Here is a picture of a room I did http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo316/kvrdave/lam7-1.jpg The beveled edges seriously look good.

Also, if you don't have one of these, get one. http://www.amazon.com/SKIL-3600-02-120-Volt-Flooring-Saw/dp/B0037KM8TQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373381931&sr=8-1&keywords=skil+laminate+saw

A couple of deals on quality smaller lathes on amazon in case you don't have a Woodcraft around for the Rikon deal:

Jet JWL-1015 for $277

Nova Comet II $400

SOLD OUT

u/siamonsez · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Is this the saw you have? In what way is it insufficient? You can just remove the fence and mark the tile and guide it by hand. You might screw up a couple cuts, but it's going to be far cheaper than getting another saw.

Previous shower area was around 30 years old. Fake marble walls, small wall niche, leaks in the corners and ugly plumbing.

Over the course of 3 weeks (had to go housesit elsewhere - we only have one bathroom), we gutted the old furnishings down to the studs, built a new niche, added backerboard, waterproofing membrane, new tiles, new fixtures, and had the tub re-furbished (by a pro).

If anyone's curious, here's some products we used.

We learned as we went with this (also made many mistakes that thankfully aren't too bad on completion). Upon gutting the shower - found a bit of mold growing on the old green board backing material. Was actually better than expected. We also didn't want to swap out the old 2 knob faucet for something newer (required more plumbing work than we wanted) so we ordered a 3 knob version and just used two of the knobs/stems. Works great.

And a ton of knowledge from this incredibly useful YouTube channel.

Tile saw with a glass cutting blade.

http://www.lowes.com/pd_416741-10742-30469_0__?productId=3805957

u/SuperRacx · 2 pointsr/woodworking

so, we wouldn't be able to crosscut with the table saw really? we found the second saw (http://www.amazon.com/Skil-3600-02-120-Volt-Flooring-Saw/dp/B0037KM8TQ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1321827868&sr=8-4), it does ripping and crosscutting, and is about 1/4-1/3 the price of a tablesaw. It can only handle a material thickness of 3/4" but, I honestly don't see us doing a whole bunch of woodwork in the future other than installing the floors.

u/algalkin · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

I laid those tiles about a year ago and I didn't wanna spend 600-700 on a saw so I cut them with small dry cut masonry 4" Makita that I already had and it went pretty well. Similar to this one
http://www.amazon.com/Makita-4100NH-Amp-8-Inch-Masonry/dp/B000RQ68SU/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1459358086&sr=8-6&keywords=makita+dry+cut+saw

I got mine used off of ebay for about $70.
I put down entry way about 100 sq.ft with these tiles and it went fine, just need to secure the tiles to the workbench when cutting, I used a wood plank and clamps.

u/big_blue_house · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

Easy project, good for a first time tiler. If you go with a porcelain or ceramic tile, you just need a tile cutter which scores and snaps rather than cuts. Those are cheap and easy to use. Natural stone requires the use of a wet saw. We debated on renting vs borrowing vs buying a wet saw. Our project was large (master bath walls and floors) so renting would have gotten expensive quickly (took over a month to complete). We ended up getting this guy and it worked very well.

Backsplash is very simple. Watch some videos and get started. Good luck!

I have used the following tools for all my tiling needs so far each has their own strengths and weaknesses:

I don't have a lot of money to throw at this hobby, and going to the local rock club to use their tools isn't appealing to me personally, so I bought this:

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HIWR08/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And used this blade, which I very much recommend.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009YUJT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's half the thickness of the stock blade, so you waste less material, and it's held up quite well. I don't do a huge amount of cutting, but I've sawn through dozens of fist sized rocks and lots of roughing out cabs, and it's showing no signs of slowing down yet.

One nice thing I've found is that since the diamonds cover the last 1/2" or so of blade, you can use the side of it to do a little seat-of-your-pants cabochon shaping.

All in all, the only real limitation is the size. You're limited to fist sized rocks. Although you can cut a radius as deep as possible, then tap to break it and hope for the best.

u/this_is_bumby · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

We bought a flooring saw for around 200$. 10/10 would recommend: it made for really straight cuts. The tile cutters - the ones that look like paper cutters -.dont actually work for the thicker vinyl tiles. Invest in a power tool, and sell it on Kijiji once you're done with it! (We kept ours as we are going to do other rooms in the future).

Don't get masonry anywhere near woodworking tools.

You'd use a wet saw for tile and masonry.

The best answer would be to spend ~30 minutes and several bricks and learn to use a masonry chisel. It's not that hard. That's what bricklayers use, and for good reason. It isn't rocket science, it just takes a little practice.

If you really, truly do need high-accuracy cuts (eg., you're doing brick inlay in a table top, or something,) then rent a wet saw from Home Depot.

u/drawerdrawer · 1 pointr/Ceramics

You could try scoring and breaking too, but I've never seen someone do that well
