Cheers.
Don't always work to the bubble but try as hard as I can to get it there or there abouts.
Sometimes your wall can be really bad & you've just got to go with it.

I would buy a 700ish Sigma & an angle grinder with an ATS blade.
I rarely use a wet cutter now, an angle grinder & a sponge at the back of it gives a really good cut.



Talk me through the using of a sponge with angle grinder.

Get a wet sponge & hold it at the back of your grinder guard.
I'm right handed so hold grinder with right hand & put the wet sponge at the back of the guard against the blade with my left hand.
Once you get used to it you will very rarely use a wet saw.

I needed a wet cutter for tomorrow. I was gonna ask my buddy for a leand of his diy one but Im gonna this method like. What do you cut your tile on what surface? Is a soft springy surface better than a solid hard surface?

I hang the tile off of a hop up.
You are better with a softer surface, use some cardboard from the tile boxes.
Have a practice on an off cut of tile & watch your fingers, once you get a hang of this method then you won't use a wet cutter much.

Go onto ATS DiamondTools & order from Alan direct.
Get a continuous rim or a porcelain turbo blade. Don't be put off by the price these blades are some of the best you can buy.

I have just switched to ATS blades I'm using the turbo blade and it wont bloody die lol, it really has put the montolit pro gres to shame and it's 1/3 the price posted!
