Cutting tile

I have 5/16” porcelain floor tile. Looks like marble but it’s not.

Brand new blade, Ridgid 10” wet “Porcelain”.

Why is my tile chipping?

So I decided to be like the cool kids and use Aqua-mans rubber on the walls. I see the advantage, but man is it time consuming and expensive. I was hoping to get by with one gallon....
