Bosch GCT 115 - Tile Advice

[martin1c]

I decided to try one of these as I don't like getting soaked doing wet cuts and my current angle grinder makes so much dust. This little unit works well. It came with the hose attachment and Lboxx case. I've attached it to my Nilfisk Aero vacuum and I'd say it removes about 90% of all of the cutting dust. I have managed to use it inside on the job I'm doing. I keep the window open and the door closed so there is minimal dust in the house - although I have to admit, the cleanest room in this house is probably the one I'm working in.

Overall I'd recommend this tool. It took a couple of cuts to get used to pulling the grinder through the tile but it cuts well with minimal chipping. To keep the dust down just cut slowly. It may work even better with a more powerful vacuum.

Thanks for the review. Have you got a link to the tool in case anyone wants to purchase one?

Bought mine from Toolstop - Bosch GCT115 115mm Tile Cutter 240V (GCT-115)

Been looking for a dust collection cover for mr grinder. This is about the same price. What's it like if you cut forwards as its difficult for a blind bat like me to follow the line when pulling. ( the grinder that is)

 

[martin1c]

Cutting forwards is a waste of time as the dust collection is non existent. There's a bevelled edge on the dust collection cover that is exactly in line with the blade. Once you line this up with your cut line you're fine.

looks good cheaper here - Bosch GCT 115 GCT115 + DB + 3 cores (25,45,68mm) SDS Click nut + L-BOXX

That looks pretty good. I wonder if you can buy the guard by itself and fit it to another grinder? That would be cheaper still.
