Claim 12:
13. A tile saw comprising:
(a) a saw having a cutting blade;
(b) a frame supporting the saw;
(c) a table having a planar surface configured to support a workpiece, the table being slidable relative to the frame;
(d) a rear fence secured to the table, the rear fence having an engagement surface that is adjustable between an operating position and a bypassed position, wherein:
(i) when in the operating position, the engagement surface of the rear fence projects upwardly from the planar surface of the table to support the workpiece during a cutting operation; and
(ii) when in the bypassed position, the engagement surface of the rear fence is no higher than even with the planar surface of the table to allow the workpiece to extend beyond a rear edge of the table; and
