That was the reason for the higher powered motor, slow push and very little
chipping if any, you cant tell what side I cut most of the time, I have
actually put the cut side to the middle a few times to have a finished edge
at transition and no one could tell the difference.

                  Yeah I use the little $50 saw for cutting small tile as 
it's easy to transport. Can do up to 12x18 on it without too much trouble. 
For diagonals I gotta have a bridge saw. Also the bridge saws result in 
less chip out because the direction of the blade cut.

                     The score/breakers work well on some kinds of tile and 
are fast and easily done in the room you are working but you gotta keep a 
good cutter in it and you will still end up with oops tiles.
