Was cutting some ceramic floor tiles earlier with my small plasplug wet saw and the blade become blunt and wouldn't cut the tiles so I popped off to few local hardware stores and coukdnt get a replacement blade. I decided to use my dry blade on the grinder(I only use this for cutting out square sockets or light switches) and even thou I got some cut, the dry blade was leaving me with small chipped tiles :(

Ended up phoning a guy I know who had a vitrex small blade, put this on my plasplug cutter and was getting a bit of blade wobble and some chipped tiles again :(

What I'm wanting to know, is there any dry blades that don't leave a chipped tile when cutting and does all vitrex blades wobble/leave a small chipped effect on the cut.

Mate you need loads of water in your cutter,those wee machines require loads of water
the beauty of those small blades is they shouldn't wobble
i only use a small wet cutter for splash backs
I find the bigger blades have a tendency to jam sometimes
