We survived, Mike.
It was -5ºf for most of the operation. We took the saw outside to make cuts and brought the machine back in. Placed a heat lamp over the tiles to be cut before hand or they'd freeze to the table.
Five minutes or so unused and the tile saw froze up in the water beneath.
Uhhhhgggggg!
But hay...we have new tiled floor that looks great, new carpeting and custom granite counter tops under construction.
So my question to you is: "If a slimy guy like myself takes really good care of my wife, for selfish reasons only, what are the chances she won't divorce me when the word "ShopBot" starts occurring routinely in conversation?

If she's smart, she'll blame all of us for putting such foolish ideas in your head! Think long and hard about what products you want to produce so you get the right machine. Download all the demo programs so you can get familiar with them. When the machine shows up, you want to be ready to start making money. My machine ended up being a couple of weeks later than promised (I drove up and picked it up without my helper because of that...) but it meant that, once the wiring was done, I was ready to go! I also bought a machine I could write a check for so I didn't have payments looking over my shoulder while I was learning!

Did you see my tile project on Facebook?
