For the amount of fragging I do I can not justify buying one of the nice band saws so I am going to pick up a tile saw. Should I get a wet saw or dry one? Also is Harbor freight the place to get one?

I use a hand held dremel with a cutting wheel. It's ok but not a fancy wet band saw.
Considering my success with growing corals, one would be a waste of money ! :confused:

I wonder if a finer replacement blade would fit a tile saw.

:eek:That’s less then 1/32nd of an inch. Which is as thin as most band saw blades. Get the wet one and Post some pics :D
I will try to do so in a week or so. Excited to sell some of my blasto wellsi.

I have used a dremel myself lately with a diamond blade which works good with smaller stuff. I thought about getting a tile saw to but just feel like with the straight cuts I would loose some of the coral since I couldn't cut around the head and leave full heads intact

My wellsi is baseball size so my dremel won't cut it.;)
I bought the pen like attachment for my dremel and that works nice. Gives a little more cutting depth and keeps the salt water away from my dremmel. Still need to get to harbor freight and pick up the tile saw.
