Wet or dry tile saw?

[Ocean Lotion]

For the amount of fragging I do I can not justify buying one of the nice band saws so I am going to pick up a tile saw. Should I get a wet saw or dry one? Also is Harbor freight the place to get one?

Who makes dry tile saws? If your on the small scale of fragging look at some dremels and diamond blades to go with.

I have a dremel with the 3' flexible adapter which wires good for small stuff bit nit baseball size corals.

Grinder?

I use a hand held dremel with a cutting wheel. It's ok but not a fancy wet band saw.
Considering my success with growing corals, one would be a waste of money !

Tile saw is overkill and the blade thickness would be thicker then other options

I wonder if a finer replacement blade would fit a tile saw.

There is suposedly a .6 mm diamond edge blade that works great.

That’s less then 1/32nd of an inch. Which is as thin as most band saw blades. Get the wet one and Post some pics

I will try to do so in a week or so. Excited to sell some of my blasto wellsi.

I have used a dremel myself lately with a diamond blade which works good with smaller stuff. I thought about getting a tile saw to but just feel like with the straight cuts I would loose some of the coral since I couldn't cut around the head and leave full heads intact

My wellsi is baseball size so my dremel won't cut it.
I bought the pen like attachment for my dremel and that works nice. Gives a little more cutting depth and keeps the salt water away from my dremmel. Still need to get to harbor freight and pick up the tile saw.
