Abstract
A tile saw gauge has a receiver, an extension arm, and a slidable gauge. In one embodiment, the slidable gauge has one or more protrusions for fixing various lengths. The receiver may be permanently attached to a tile saw, such as by welding, or may removably attachable, such as by using screws, a bolt and nut, or similar mechanism. The tile saw gauge may be retrofitted on saws in the art, allowing tile saws in the market to make consistent cuts on larger tiles or tile lengths.

An extended gauge for a tile saw, comprising:
- a receiver configured to couple to a tile saw frame, the receiver comprising a receiving aperture;
- an extension arm comprising a first end configured to be receivable within the receiving aperture of the receiver;
- a gauge comprising a gauge aperture configured to receive a second end of the extension arm, the slidable gauge further comprising a first protrusion separated from a second protrusion by an elongated base, the first and second apertures extending upwardly from the extension arm;
- wherein the extension arm is slidable within the gauge aperture, the gauge further comprising a set screw configured to secure the gauge on the extension arm.
