It really does depend on the bit you’re using.

Personally it doesn’t bother me as all of my pipe work is covered my shrouds

Get yourself a variable speed grinder, so you can use it for polishing tile edges/mitres etc as well.
I got a Bosch variable speed from @Pro Tiler Tools and its paid for itself with the time i have saved.

Yes definitely, the variable speed grinder is essential in a tilers tool kit. I have a flex which seems to do the job.

Hello mate, why variable speed grinder? What’s the benifors over a single speed grinder? Cheers
 
Variable speed for differing types of materials.

some will over heat the bit at higher speeds, similar to when you polish out stone, you cant use the same speed for all polishing.

Having said that we find the Rubi gres dry bits pretty flexible on most materials.

benefits of angle grinder over drill is control, two hands are better than one.
