What kind of blade do you use in your table saw? There are several different blade attachments, do use a fine tooth blade?

Yup - very fine. Once when he didn't have the table saw set up, and I was too impatient to wait, I used my water fed stained glass ring blade saw. That worked well too. Remember that saying? "Necessity is the mother of invention." I imagine if you had a wet tile saw, you could use that too, as long as there were no curves involved.
