Has anyone tried to cut tiny squares of marble from a 12 x 12 inch tile? I was thinking of trying it because I’m using 3/4″ white (square) tiles for the bathroom floor and I want to pluck some of them off the mesh and substitute 3/4″ squares of the black marble. The tile store sells the black marble in 5/8″ squares, but not the white which I would need to go with it. The white comes in either 3/4″ or 1″ squares, and the black in 5/8 only. So I figured I could try cutting my own with a wet saw. I’ve never used a wet saw before, so I don’t know if it’s possible to hang on to a little piece while doing the cutting. I guess you would start with strips of tile 3/4″ wide and then cut the squares off the end. I only need about 50 squares total, so it’s not that much volume we’re talking about.

Cponsider cutting aboput 3/4 the way thropugh the til;e, then snaop opff the pieces when ypou're dpone that way you have pl;enty to hpold on to. Depoending on the saw, many have a way to limit the depth of cut.

I'm typing on a brand new keyboard 'cause DW picked up a full mug of coffee and the handle broke clean off. 6oz of coffee and 12oz of creamer crap does wonders to the keys - LOL.
