Serious question, why cut tile wet inside? It just makes a big mess for no good reason.

My buddy tried cutting porcelain dry in his bathroom reno last month. The dust was insane, like a total white cloud filling his whole house. His wife made him stop after her black sofa turned grey. He rented a wet saw the next day. Said the messy water was way easier to clean up than that fine dust getting into everything. Sometimes the mess you can see is better than the one you can't.

Hold on, I gotta disagree here. A wet saw is a huge pain to set up and use indoors, you're dealing with extension cords and a water hose and a big heavy tool. That slurry water gets tracked everywhere and can ruin wood floors if you're not crazy careful. With a good vacuum attachment on a dry cutter, you contain most of the dust right at the source. His buddy just didn't have the right setup, that's all. A little prep goes a long way.

Ugh, cutting dry is the worst, @logan658's buddy learned that the hard way. That dust gets into your AC vents and every crack, you'll be finding it for months. I'd rather wipe up some water than breathe in that powder and ruin all my stuff.

Yeah, it reminds me of drywall sanding dust. That fine powder clings to every surface and just hangs in the air forever. The cleanup is a never-ending battle.
