10mm you say?
I'd be going for some thing like this then mate
Tradetiler Makita Cordless Tile Cutter

by the way, what's wrong with the grout? Can you not just re-colour it? or is it knackered?



These attachments would be quick and pretty clean with hoover used..

5 inch cutter with 2 thin blades,washer in between,plus vacum.I use bosch cutter,hilti vac.Cutter wont go all day, do you have 2, 5 inch cutters ?

Look at trimline catalogue page 145,cutting disc guard.Battery cutters with bags on wont really be upto the job in my opinion.If you dont want to buy a vac attachment,then its hold vac pipe in one hand and cutter in the other.

I would consider the larger Exact saw DC270. With the diamond blade it goes through grout accurately no problem and the dust extractor outlet ( if you choose to use it) is efficient. After the job you have a great tool for cutting ply.

Bought one last week from Tradetiler and we are delighted with it.

You got your review on there![]()




Mine has the 1.3ah, don't last five minutes, well worth the bigger battery.
