 We need to cut a smallish amount of tiles and if that goes well we may tackle another area. So 2-3 days of
tile saw rental or borrowing for other exchange- like photography. Home Depot has this but not in the stores
nearby.

There's one on the "Rent and Borrow" website that looks like it's in a coop in Forest Hills, $11 per day.  I've never heard of this website before (just came up when Googling) so not sure how well the process works. http://www.rentandborrow.com/borrow/Ryobi-3/4-HP-7-in.-Wet-Tile-Saw/50015

If it were me, I'd feel more comfortable getting one from Home Depot even if I had to travel to a different store for it.

Have you tried Metropolitan Lumber in Astoria or Corona?  I'm not sure if they rent tools but it couldn't hurt to call and ask.
