[One Day]

Just for balance - i confess to using my grinder on easily 9 out of 10 jobs. It's quicker.
(unless you've loads of rip cuts in limestone to make) 😛

Personally I go for the wetcutter 9 out of 10 times I just can't get a clean enough cut with a grinder I bought the festool one with the dust extractor port and had in my had I'd use that but it never comes out the box

I use a makita variable speed with marcrist akkumax blades and a very light hand. I can get a very clean cut on most tiles.
I find the trick is to run lightly down the glaze using a straight edge, then start to cut slightly past the first cut, this helps so the glaze pinging.

Well no body's really convinced me this is something I NEED to have, infact I'm convinced I really don't need one at all..

They're a nice tool to have and a must-have if you're fixing lots of stone. (in my opinion)

The only benefit I can see is speed of cuts..

Erm, I'm sure, yes yes you did , you borrowed my wet cutter the other week to cut slate skirts 😉
Or is it, "I don't need one, Craig has one" kinda thing 🙂🙂

You HAD to mention that didn't ya!! 🙂
Must admit it did give a nice exposed edge on the skirts..
Still for once in every blue moon, then yes mate...you have one 😉

Last time I lent a wet cutter (a fairly new Norton) to a tiler from East Lancs - I never saw it again!

(It wasn't Andy btw)

Grinder for porc and ceramics.
Wet rubi for stone and envelope cuts in wet room.
There is no way you could cut Kathmandu slate from porcelanosa with grinder - just chips away no matter how careful u are.
