Tile cut

Hi, I am sorry if this request is not FJ-related... but you are the only ones that can help me!!!

I would need to cut three tiles in half. Those are "saltillo" tiles, quite easy to cut, but I do not have the tools.

I will use the tiles to cook pizza in my oven... Is there anybody that can help me???

Thank you!
Alessio

How big are the tiles? and what is "saltillo"?
Just not sure what that is but I'm sure I can cut it if you can come to Alameda.
But it might cost you a pizza or two.

An example of such tile is:

They are sold at Home Depot for cheap. It's porous and should be fairly easy to cut, compared to other tiles...

The tiles are 12" in size.

Do you have a tile cutter?

Heheh, today I tried with a "Dremel" cutting disc at the office. I wasted two discs in seconds :) yeah I definitely need a tool like that... I hope Bozly can help me...

I have a tile saw you could use. I used to do tile work to help pay for college.

What part of the bay are you in?

If you can come to Alameda, they'll be in pieces in minutes.
Any time during the week is fine with me.
PM me, tell me when your coming and it will be done.

That would be great :) tomorrow my wife will arrive, give us a few days (I have to try a new yeast and another specialty) and then pizza for everybody!
