Italy

I'd rather not say. The chipping is with one particular tile, Refin chromie, and not particularly bad and it might simply be the tile rather than the blade. Or me, although in the past I have used Bosch blades without chipping on porc. As I'm in Italy, can you suggest a good blade here?
I'm just an apprentice,
I wouldn't know what to advise you
still use blades from 5 € :)

Having bought a 115mm variable speed grinder for trimming and grinding porc. tiles dry I'm having problems with chipping, even if only slight. I bought blades that seemed to be well considered on this forum but they weren't particularly expensive. What would be the best diamond blade for dry trimming porc?
Do you cut with a wet sponge ? :)

No, I have never tried, although I have seen it done. In UK and Ireland I have always been able to hire an overhead wet saw, and even then I have bought my own blades because the ones supplied didnt always cut without chips. I haven’t found one for hire here.
I don’t think it is technique as I have managed to grind and cut with fixed speed machines and Bosch blades before without chipping. Just not having much luck with the one blade I have at the moment and thought I’d ask for reccomendations from those with more experience.

I still have the page open on my desktop. Found it looking through earlier posts yesterday.

I found the old Bosch blade order on Amazon. Two 125mm blades, one construction and one tile for £17. Maybe I should try that one too. Worked before.
 
This is the only piece not already placed, and it is the offcut. It was probably one of the first cuts so the blade was not bedded in.
I'm afraid I am used to using a stationary wet saw.
