5. Use a good tile saw.The bigger your tiles are, the better your machine should be. Those $80 specials are good when you do one floor, terrible when you start doing larger SF areas and need to get the job done. I used to use 12" tile a lot. Now 16" is the popular size, unless you're talking about a small SF bathroom. Replace the blade when it gets dull, constant water flow helps blade to last longer.
