Wet or dry tile saw?

[Ocean Lotion]

I can not justify the cost of a nice band saw with the limited fragging I do. I am going to get a tile saw and diamond blade. From prince should I get a wet or dry tile saw?

I would go wet saw. You never know when you will need to cut glass or hard glazed tiles. I think the cost is the same.

Any other input? Supose you can use a wet saw without the water.

home depot has a plastic wet saw... yellow with a black table.... works great for cutting corals....... its cheap too... i got mine a couple of years ago for under 70$

You can use it dry. Water is to cool the blade and what you are cutting. If you are getting one of the little table saw type saws it will be hard to cut some corals. Band saw is more versatile but I get your point.
I have one I bought to do floors in my house and I used it to cut some live rock. Worked fine just does not cut very deep.
