My bathroom tile job went sideways when the wet saw died mid-cut

I was in my guest bathroom in Phoenix, halfway through cutting a 12-inch porcelain tile. The saw motor just made a sad humming noise and quit. I had a whole row left to finish and the rental place was closed for the day. Ended up using a manual tile snips for the rest, which took forever and the edges were rough. Anyone have a good wet saw brand that won't give out on a weekend project?

Rigid makes a decent saw for the price, mine's held up through a few bathroom redos. The manual snips are a brutal backup plan, I feel your pain on those rough edges.

Why not just rent again since you only need it sometimes?

Renting's a hassle, maryr43. I'd rather just own it for good.
