MK Diamond’s MK-145 wet tile saw is a 4 amp 1/2 HP table top unit that is well suited for smaller tiling jobs. It is compact, lightweight, portable, and is inexpensively priced at about $99.
The small saw works with a 4-1/2″ diamond blade (included) and can be set to make straight cuts, as well as 22° and 45° miter cuts. With its large cutting surface the saw can handle tiles as large as 12″ wide and 1″ thick. You can use it on ceramic, marble, or stone materials.

If you have a larger budget, something like the MK-170 overhead 7″ tile saw might be a better option, as it should provide better control and has a larger cut capacity, but it’s not quite as compact and easy to store away. There are a lot of other wet tile saws in the $100 and $200 price ranges.
For larger one-time tiling projects, renting a professional tile saw is another option, but if you go that route you will probably have to buy a fresh diamond blade.
