DIYers/contractors: Do we rent a $65/day tile saw, or buy a Craigslist $500 one and sell it after the tile is done?

How many days will you need to use it? If you only need it a day or two rent. If you will need it any longer then buy the $500 one and sell it afterwards.

Or do you buy the $50 Harbor Freight tile saw, and throw it away when you're done with it?

My concern is accuracy (although, as with such things, I can probably make do with precision). A friend has offered his DeWalt, I'll get a handful of fresh blades and test cut a bunch of tiles on the diagonal to make sure that I've got my technique down (we'll need them cut along the tub edge anyway...).
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
