How do I determine when the blade on my tile wetsaw blade is worn out and needs replaced? Do I hang onto the same blade so long as it cuts tile without difficulty, or is there something else I need to pay attention to?

If it stops cutting, tell your wife it broke, open a beer and stare at it.

The italians have been doing that for years.

When it starts leaving chip marks on the surface of the cut edge and slowing down and adding more water to the water reservoir doesn't improve the cleanliness of the cut. Same with other saw blades, when it stops operating smoothly.

It will bend as it tries to cut, lines won't be straight. Also will leave ragged edges on tile.

Keep using it till it doesn't cut. I've got a slot chaser that has a series of carbide tipped blades and it's pretty easy to check if its thrown one of the carbide tips. Some tile saws use a diamond grit on the cutting edge should be able to tell if its worn off and exposing the edge of the metal disc.

You're thinking blades for cutting wood. Those are cheap. Wetsaws use diamond-edged blades for cutting tile, masonry, etc that are $30-50 for a decent blade.
