Now I am normally one for there being way too much H&S on a site but removing the guard is a no no - that should not shown on a course apart from something NOT to do.

Providing your wearing glasses and take your time to make the cut I don't really see anything wrong with this technique. Tried it many times while personally on the course and it works a treat. Much safer than using an angle grinder..

As long as you wear glasses! It's a sure-fire way to get glaze in the eye if you don't!

I have seen tiles slice off and flung into someone's face without a guard on........needed 3 new front teeth......... is it worth it? Plus I doubt the insurers would like it if you were ever to make a claim!

How is it safer than using an angle grinder?

You can't see the way he is cutting on the picture but he has removed the guard and is cutting from the back of the machine, not the front so by being behind the machine means that the way the wheel spins the glaze goes forward away from you as does the water etc so no glaze will be coming back at your face,

So are you saying it is a good practice then? If you do, then you want closing down.

Ive explained how the picture was taken and its not the easiest of cuts to do, so you have two choices, cut from behind to stop the material coming your way on the wet saw therefore nothing can come back your way or use an angle grinder, so are you saying that angle grinders are safe because i know two people who have worked with them had there face sliced in half with an angle grinder blade going wrong and there will have been countless more accidents done with them, so whats your method tom to do this cut
