Before I buy a wet tile saw ...

Is this just with cutting corals in mind?

something like this is probably better for your needs and cheaper too if the canadian tire saw is $160.

I was going to say: If it's Inland you won't get much for $160... I have a similar model from them for lapidary work and it cost LOTS more.

You guys might consider what's called a "trim saw" from a lapidary store. Like a tile saw with a much sharper and smaller blade so there's less waste. It would be a lot cheaper than an Inland band saw.

I don't sugest using it for coral unless you are making straight cuts only and look at the blade thickness as it will eat away from your coral.
As using it for live rock keeping in mind you will not get deep in the rock as its a small blade...there are other saws you will get better results for rock and for corals...

The 4-1/2 saw is $45 tomorrow, and the 7" is $100 today
I'm not impressed with the cutting depth of either
1" and 1-3/8"

Such as ?

I've been wondering if I'd be better off with a wet bandsaw
I saw Anthony use a Delta one once and I'm sure it was wet ...
