The blade I bought for cutting ceramic tile that is not working so well is the tile supposed to be wet?
I install ceramic tile professionally in the Opelika, AL area. I have several saws some dry some wet. It depends on what kind of saw you have. Breakers have a tungsten blade that scribes the tile and then breaks it. Wet Saws usually have large blades 10-14" in diameter that need to be wet when cutting. Grinders have small 4-6" blades that cut dry. Hand saws look similar to a skil saw and usually cut dry also. I would recommend sharpening the blade by cutting a cinder block or brick with it. Just dip the blade into the brick or block about 1/2" to 1" about 2 times and it should dramatically improve the cutting ability of the blade. If you are cutting a hard, dense tile and the blade is "dulling", cut through a softer tile to "sharpen" the blade again.
