Too late. I am committed. I kind of think the rentable tile saw is only a little bit better, anyway.
There was a beautiful thing I saw for sale -- $600 -- with a pump for the reservoir, stainless steel sliding bed with a pusher and clamps so you never had to get within a foot of the blade while it was moving, and you could cut tile that was tiny and you could cut tile that was huge, and you could adjust the angle in three dimensions.
That was beautiful. But though this is my third tile project in four months, before that it was a few years, and before that it was more years: the big job I did on the bathroom is about to celebrate its fifteenth anniversary (it was part of the post-Earthquake stuff we did -- "as long as we have to nail the back of the house back on to the rest, and reattach the plumbing, why don't we tile the bathroom and get a low-flow toilet?").
