Rent or buy Tile cutter?

Hi
Do you think that buying a workforce tile cutter for $88 is a good investment? or would it be better to rent on for half that?
Thanks

depends. how much work and how long will you need it. if you need it for for more then one day then buy if its just for one day then rent. if you buy you can work at your own pace instead of trying to get it all done before you have to return the saw.

Assume you're talking about the wet saw (not just a tile cutter)... bump what lexmarks567 said. but remember that the table style wet saw is pretty versatile little guy, you can cut anything that is ceramic/ porcelain/ granite/ marble/ brick/ slate/ pavers/ even non-tempered 1/4 or 1/2" glass on it. If you use it properly, you can even do precision hobby style work (I made a chess board out of granite and marble for my dad one christmas on that machine)

It's not exactly a big Heavy duty machine, but if you cut slow, you can cut concrete pavers, and brick by notching them them popping them w/ a dead blow.

That one (well the equiv. 6 yrs ago) was my first wet saw, and it's still kicking. Sold my MK after I quit doing tile work regularly, but I still drag the old 7" workforce to the occasional small install or for loan to a friend. It was worth every cent and more IMHO.

last I checked, Home depot charged $48 for a one day rental of an MK101 (a very nice machine), and $91 (varies by market I'm sure) for this guy.
