Having bought a 115mm variable speed grinder for trimming and grinding porc. tiles dry I'm having problems with chipping, even if only slight. I bought blades that seemed to be well considered on this forum but they weren't particularly expensive. What would be the best diamond blade for dry trimming porc?

Do you cut with a wet sponge ? 🙂

I have a wide variety of diamond blades by different manufacturers, it’s trial and error, one blade chips one tile but then cuts clean on another. I always try blades on an off cut to find the one with best results.

it also has a lot to do with the operators skill with the grinder

No, I have never tried, although I have seen it done. In UK and Ireland I have always been able to hire an overhead wet saw, and even then I have bought my own blades because the ones supplied didnt always cut without chips. I haven’t found one for hire here.
I don’t think it is technique as I have managed to grind and cut with fixed speed machines and Bosch blades before without chipping. Just not having much luck with the one blade I have at the moment and thought I’d ask for reccomendations from those with more experience.
