Too big for tile saw?

I use a small, Covington wet table saw. Takes a 6' diamond blade. Has a
reservoir under the shaft. The blade wets itself as it turns. Great tool.
Used it for almost 20 years. Simple, cheap, no problem.

For what reason? I can cut 20 straight cuts with a $2 glasscutter in the
time it takes you to cut one strip. The only thing to do with your saw is to
cut right angles, and how often do you need to do that?

Most of my glass is bottles. I use the saw to cut bottles in various ways. I
use a glass cutter when I can. I agree that this or any other saw is not
needed for most cuts in flat glass that is less than 1/4" thick.

You do realize there are people in here that do other than stained
glass, right? A saw is one of the workhorse tools in a fusing/casting
studio.

I stand corrected. Seems like 99% of what I read is SG stuff. OK you're
allowed to use a saw. LOL

I must be slipping -- missed this one yesterday.

Define small in relationship to a 6 foot blade. Bet that costs a small
fortune everytime the blade wears out.
