Pimp my Grinder up please

[Filip]

Just struggled with a porcelain floor 600x300 tiles and now I have another DIY job coming up with porcelain I have a wet table saw that I call Mr Chippy and after reading here my best option is an angle grinder - which I already have I now know thanks to you guys the type of cutting disc to get, 1-2mm and wavy curly patten but from where, I see 2 suppliers mentioned quite often ritelines and ATS diamond tools. I could also do with some sort of finishing/ grinding discs to take off very thin strips from my miss measurements but which one ?

Ritelines? Not on here, can’t say I’ve ever seen them here.
Every material behaves differently with different types of blade.
Three main types.
Turbo
Mesh
Continuous rim.
Each have their place.
But that’s the trick, finding the one that works for the material you’re using at the time.
Not really any hard and fast rules, and it depends what level of finish you expect/require.

Fair enough, not one I’ve noticed with any regularity

Rubi viper blade works for me. A few other people I know swear by it aswell. But again depends on the user a lot of the time.

Ok no problems but where then or who apart from the norm big retailers I could walk into and pay over the odds like Tops for example

 

[Filip]

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

It is a very thin blade the viper quite precise I find

Have you tried hand pads to refine your cuts?
If you want a reasonable all round blade try this from @Pro Tiler Tools

I’ve cut regular and thin tile with it and had decent results.

Yeah I’ve heard good reports on it, although when it first came out I heard of issues.
But nothing recently.

That blade looks about my price range, but what are hand pads?

Is it a floor or walls your tiling? You won’t need diamond hand pads unless your doing work round windows etc. For me ATS turbo blade is a great all rounder and doesn’t struggle with most tiles
