A keyword search on the HF site for "diamond tile blade" turned up many
different blades, 4 inch up through 14 inch.

That's a cute little saw. Looks easier to store later than a large
shear, as well. Many of the blades shown, and the ones included are
continuous rim (no teeth). That sounds like it would be smoother to
work with as well.

I think the tile saw idea warrants a close look. I don't want to mess
with water on my ancient, cast iron Sears saw.

Thanks for finding those. It did seem odd, but interestingly, the
word 'saw' is not used for these wet blades.

Also interesting is the price ranges. Also a saw we missed. The
wet band saw. This will be hard pressed to cut a straight line,
but if one has really odd shaped boards, that would be a possible
alternative.

I have been using a tile saw I bought at Lowes for cutting boards. It
has worked quite well for me. You get a little bit of a burr from the
copper but it is easily filed away. Also since it cuts wet, no dust.
