Why does nobody talk about the panic when your tile saw blade catches and chips a $200 slab?
I was cutting a 24x48 porcelain tile in my garage last week, the blade bound, and it shot a chunk right out of the corner, so I had to recut the whole layout and eat the cost, which honestly, has anyone else just glued a piece back in and hoped for the best?

That sound is the single most expensive crunch in the DIY world. Gluing it back is the home improvement version of putting a band-aid on a broken arm, but hey, sometimes you just need to finish the job and pray the grout covers your sins.

You know, I always thought that crunch was just a normal part of tiling. But calling it "the single most expensive crunch" really hits home. I had one crack on me last year, a big 12x24, and that sound instantly meant another forty bucks and a trip back to the store. It totally changed how careful I am when cutting now.
