Re: [A/S] Re: Vinyl tile as an alternative

Absolutely!  I'm not advocating a saw at all, just how to make it work 
if that's what fires your engines.  I've seen a lot of VAT (*) laid on 
construction sites in the last 38 years and the pros use a tile cutter 
that is essentially a high speed, low drag paper cutter.  Gussied up to 
handle really tough stock (including marble chips) but other than that 
they are just the same.  Curves are done with a torch to heat the tile 
(not pre glued, however, I'm not sure how flame would affect those) and 
tin snips and/or a linoleum knife.

(*) VAT = Vinyl Asbestos Tile.  Even though the asbestos has gone the 
way of the dodo bird the name has kind of stuck to refer to any plastic 
floor tile.  Go figure.
