I find myself in need of a wet saw, and am looking for advice in the area.
The new place I'm moving into currently has really old laminate in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. The owners are wanting to replace the laminate with 12" ceramic tile to match what was put down in other parts of the condo. My brother happens to lay flooring for a living, so I volunteered his labor, since he'll be in town helping me move anyway (and it lets me move in earlier - the place they're buying the tile from couldn't get it installed until over a week after my move-in date). They're going to provide all needed installation materials, and my brother is going to bring the majority of his tools. But he doesn't work with tile often, so he doesn't own a wet saw.
I find myself in need of either buying a cheaper wet saw, or renting a professional one. Either case will cost ~$60-80. There are quite a few corners to be cut, but nothing more intricate than making a drain hole for the toilet in the bathroom. I'm leaning towards buying one, and either keeping it or reselling it afterwards (effectively "renting" the saw for half the price of a true rental). I'm not 100% sure what to look for in a wet saw, so could any of you offer advice in this area? Although my brother has used various ones plenty of times, he didn't have any recommendations on what to look for.
