Tile cutting apparatus comprising:
- a work table adapted to support a tile to be cut,
- a guide and support track located adjacent and parallel to one side of the top of the work table,
- a carriage guided and supported by the track, and
- a cantilever arm adapted to support a cut-off saw at a predetermined height above the table, said cantilever arm including
- (i) a vertical portion extending from the carriage upwardly to said one side of the table, and
