You need to cut slowly and gently at the end. Better is to back up the
final edge with something else, a piece of wood will do, so the blade
doesn't blow out the tile. Another way is to stop the cut an inch or so
from the end, turn it 180 degrees and finish the cut. If you were getting
wedge shaped blowouts, try cutting it bottom up; that can leave the top of
the tile good, blowing out the bottom of the edge which won't show and which
will just get filled with grout.
Finally, if your tile can be cut via score and snap, dump the wet saw and do
that, It is faster and you get better edges.
