wet saws /angle grinders?

[Jason35]

me again guys lol. have got a wet saw but have heard of people using angle grinders can any1 tell me there pros and cons ? cheers jay:huh2:

 

[pjtiler]

angle grinders are handy for the odd L cuts or cutting holes, round cutting and the like

try a briccolina wet cutter, you can use it indoors nice and quiet, and a good clean cut, otherwise you are working outside, with both normal wet cutters and grinders, not to good if it is p***ing it down

Jason, grinders are dusty and more difficult to control the cut than a wet saw....

grinder gets through porcelain so much quicker than wet saws and the blade i just got from tradetiler no chips

 

[White Room]

Use one of the makita with the water bottle on, Only for the very odd cuts

That would depend on what wet cutter and blade you were using

i use my 4 inch grinder all the time now only use wet cutter for fragile wall tiles so much quicker

 

[Gazzer]

I'll go with that.

:mad2: Just finished a job with 900X300 jobbies..........never had (and left it to late to hire) a big enuff wet cutter.............only option was grinder:whatchutalkingabout:whatchutalkingabout it worked a treat, but the neighbours were complaining about the dust in there house's down the road (cut outside the front door)

the makita from dave at trade tiler is fantastic:hurray:

When I think about it, there's still a tonne of tools I still want to get my hands on :lol:

i also have a bunch of score and break cutters. But for wet cutting i use a plasplugs master tiler wet saw with a marcist blade. These blades are expensive but they half your cutting time and last ages. Cuts any tile any size pretty quick. I've also got a makita hand cutter with the bottle on, genius little thing. ideal for doing kitchen walls, plugs tec. Also great when there is no power.

i once inspected another tilers work for some woman who was distraught. She'd had her hallway tiled and the tiler had done a poor job but worse was all the dust on every part of the house including the walls. It was a brand new house aswell. This guy had been armed only with a grinder and done all the work in the house. Let that be a lesson to the woman. Get an amatuer, get amatuer results.
