Hi,

I went to Home Depot to buy or rent a wet saw to cut 24 by 24 inch marble 3/4 inch think but they said that even their most powerful and heavy duty wet saw would have a hard time cutting it.

Do you know where I might be able to find such powerful and big wet saws? How much will it cost to buy or rent?

Thank you for your help!

You'll probably have to find a regular Contractors rental store. Buying something that big would be big bucks, especially if it's just for one job. Be aware that they also charge for blade wear. No idea of what they rent for. Good luck.

Take a look around at some tool rental places and see if you can get a larger tile saw. The only thing about HD is they usually rent out the least common denominator for tools. You need something a little beefier. See if some of these places rent out Felker saws. I know Budget and Hertz have rental equipment businesses as well as cars. Peak in the phone book.
