Floor Tiling advice and are additives necessary?

My post weren't directed at you personally...
And please don't take it that way.

As you say, alot of DIY people read this forum, I was simply putting my veiw across to help them.

A grinder can be bought for as little as £30 a decent blade £15........and if you have never tried using a grinder for cutting tiles you would never know the difference between that and a cheap wet cutter...

Paddle mixers ....£50 to £60

All of which you could sell again if doing a one off job...
Ha np got you, I didn't take offence just thought well it worked ok for me and could for others. I did look at the mixers, saw one around £70 so no doubt you are right and I could see some drills struggling. I honestly would have likely overlooked the whole mechanical mixing issue had I not searched an online check list.
Do you just mean a simple angle grinder? or something with a guide? I've only ever used standard manual cutters and the wet cutter I have, so not considered anything other though I do maintain that the wet cutter I used made very light work of these particular tiles, the only one issue was the water obscuring the white line I'd marked on the tiles but a bit of fiddling with the blade guard made that workable. I'll certainly bare that in mind though once my wet cutter has past it's time, thanks
 
The Plasplugs cutter worked seemlessly on these type of tiles, it was extremely easy

Must agree although never tried another cutter or grinder to be fair. Was not expecting much for £40 but it effortlessly cut through enough tiles for small bathroom including the floor and disc still good . For someone like myself who will only tile once in a blue moon it was a great buy.....bugger to clean if left for few days though :blush:
