Advice on wet tile saws, Gemini Apollo?
Posted: Wed Aug 29, 2012 2:56 pm
Hi Everyone,
I just finished a great class on pattern bar making. I'm going to purchase a tile saw but am quite confused by all of the saws on the market. I used a mk100 (I believe) in the class but didn't like that it really ripped up the glass. I realize that this could have something to do with the quality and condition of the blade as well. Anyway, I've been looking at the Gemini Apollo and was wondering if anyone out there has this saw and if so, if they're happy with it. If not, what saws do folks use or recommend? I envision slicing blocks that are approximately 7-10" long and approximately 4" high. I should also mention that I will be using this in my garage, which doesn't have an available water source so I am looking for something that has a recirculating pump or something of the sort.
Thanks for any advice that you can offer.
