Grinder Blade for Mitre Tiles - How to mitre tiles using a grinder - freehand mitred tiles

I found the wet cutter quite good. Interesting to hear other people's thoughts on it. Might try the variable grinder and buffing pad next time.

Was a nightmare to do, least helped by the fact the window was a country mile off of the level. Remember putting my level on the actual window and my bead ended up sitting back in the van lol. Black grout contributed to the never ending nightmare.

Usual joiners that the customer has used (and they are dead good!) **** it! Tiler can catch it...

Ohhh the customer's spark had the shaver socket sitting tight against wall! If I tiled it the cover plate wouldn't have fitted! Magic, maybe the tiler can cut 10mm off of the chrome cover to make it fit.

I despise when the customer provides their 'own' tradesmen! Anyhow rant over.
 
I don't use a variable speed grinder (might do now with the price of that Bosch tho) I just hand work the Tile usually with a 200 grit pad or a wet stone then cut the back out with a turbo blade from right lines, very similar to as turbo I believe, just keeping a sponge on the blade as @3_fall does, works a treat for me
