That's one serious saw Paul. I think they use those for cutting Marble and Granite wall panels. I agree that having a travelling saw is appealing. Other than space, I'm not sure what the downside would be.

Well, I did it! After researching tile saws for months, I finally ordered an MK 101pro from Construction Complete for $774.97. I should get it next week. Can hardly wait. I have a question, though. It comes with a blade for cutting porcelain. Can I use that for now, or do I need to get a blade specifically for glass?
Thanks,
Charlotte

The blade it comes with will work fine. Other blades available here:

Thanks Brock! Good to know I don't have to spend another $60 right away.

With all the tile saw talk, I took a little look on Ebay just to see what they had. This was the result of just 2 pages of looking and mostly only one saw from each manufacturer. Just think how many tile saws there must be in the world. Probably about as many saws as pieces of tile.
Amazes me that tile setters can't do the job today without a wet saw, when a tile cutter used to work just fine. I suppose just like a carpenter that can't do the job without a nail gun. All an effort to finish the job faster and go drink more beer I guess.
My only conclusion, the world needs another tile saw.

Only $320. Seems too good to be true.

I think you would have better control over cutting by moving the glass rather than the saw. I think you'll find the standard tile saw arrangement will give you more feedback as you saw and a better feel for what is going on as the blade cuts. I sure would want to try one first.
