KT, the local tile place has a Rubi bridge tile saw on closeout for $990. Do you believe there is any benefit to the bridge saw vs the typical tile saw with sliding tray? I would like to upgrade and am comparing the slew of different saws.

The roofing nail gun is fantastic.
I can install 400 square feet by myself in one day. Done it many times.
120 nails in a coil. It takes 88 nails on a sheet of backer.
I chase all the high nails and set a nail next to every nail that went too deep with hand nails.
Fiber glass tape all the joints with acrylic modified thinset using a flat trowell. ( plastering trowell ).
On the bridge saws... Unless you are planning on 24" tiles or bigger, I don't know why you would need this saw.
Randy, the harbor freight saw might be a good bargin for this one job.
I would NEVER use anything from them for day-in, day-out use.
I'm a fan of MK.
I have the 770, 101 and 1070 as well as a handheld circular saw.
Diamond blade on a grinder has it's place. Very messy.
Wear ear plugs, fellas.
