Starting Lineup

Tile saw question.

I started out on this project with a cheap little Craftsman tile saw that a friend loaned me. It turned out to be a bit small for my 12" x 24" tiles so I borrowed another one from my neighbor who does stone cutting. The saw is large enough to handle my tiles but the blade wants to wander slightly, even going slow and not forcing it. To get a straight cut I have to do it in three successive cuts, scoring it lightly it with the first and then dropping the blade slightly on the two following cuts. It has a water bath and diamond blade and cuts very slow, which is to be expected but why is the blade wandering? Do I need a new blade? I was told it was replaced recently.

That blade looks done to me. Very little diamonds left on it, I'm surprised it cut at all! I would buy a new blade for it.
