    Pimp my Grinder up please

    seems like I should get on better than my wet bench with any thin angle grinder blade but what about when it comes to sanding grinding - adjusting my crap cut in the first place what should I be looking at for the fine tuning down to my line

    Full bodied or grade 5/3 ? Porcelain

    So I went into tops and asked what grade the tiles were - I first got a blank expression and then I said you know -full bodied or grade 5 and they said straight away "no they are not full bodied " and then proceed to look on the computer and couldn't find any info on grade.

    Do I get chips with that ?

    I can get away with ceramic because I dont get such bad chips and I can cut to the waste side of the line and then sand down to the line. Tried sanding down a porcelain but nothing in my DIY tool arsenal would touch it

    Do I get chips with that ?

    Yep that is what said I have tried and it didn't help - with the caveat of a £10 blade on a wet bench BUT I did not do it at an angle cutting under the score line - is that just so you do not have to take off the full thickness to the line when finishing (whizing.) and when you say "whizz...

    Do I get chips with that ?

    I am an occasional DIYer and am tempted to buy a high quality blade as I have another job at home coming up but its just that quote from pros on here "some tiles do just chip whatever you do" puts me off shelling out. Perhaps a 115mm quality blade for my angle grinder and that way it would be...

    Do I get chips with that ?

    Thats big. My blade is 180mm but odd that people recommend an angle grinder that is only 115mm although I understand quality of blade is a factor.

    Do I get chips with that ?

    I have just been struggling with tiles chipping on a DIY kitchen floor project with 600 x 300 porcelain tiles. Over the past week we have been referring to my table wet saw as "Mr Chippy" I use a Belotta wheel cutter for the 300 cuts and that gives perfect snap cut but its only 500 long so for...

    DIY Chip free wet saw

    Full bodied or grade 5/3 ? Porcelain

    I am sue all I will get from tops is - "yeh its porcelain" The reason I ask is that I am soon to be doing a 9m2 outside area but it is enclosed on 3 sides one of which is my house and it also has a polycarb roof so am I right in thinking I need porcelain and a nice full body one. Perhaps I had...
