I have tried tile saws with some success. Unfortunately the cutting loss is
great. Also tile saws do not leave smooth cuts because the slice needs to
be hand feed through the saw. After the cut you really need to sand the cut
face with various grits of paper until you have an acceptable smooth face.

Using a tile saw is only good for cheaper, and soft, NWA stones. Still lots
of fun though.

Cheers,
