Water Jet for cutting tile?
I need some small pieces of Carrera marble (hows that for Porsche content) and onyx for the restoration of a tile floor.
Does anyone know a water jet cutter that has experience with this kind of thing? I am thinking that due to the small size of the pieces they are probably unsuitable to a conventional wetsaw. Thanks in advance for any qualified leads.

My neighbor cuts them with a wetsaw and a vise-mounted table saw attachment. He cut all the tile for our bathroom and the bricks for our house like this...

We have an abrasive waterjet cutter at work. We tried cutting marble/granite. Too slow. Take it to someone that cuts and polishes marble, not a watercutter. JMHO.

John, I know someone with a water-jet up in NW Connecticut. He does a lot of water-jet cutting (among other fab) for artists/sculpters. (lots of strange stuff) That may be too far away for you; don't know.
