Just wanted to know what most people preferred I have a wet cutter but was thinking of getting a grinder. What’s more practicable?

i use 2 different wet cutters and two different grinders for different things lol :Pete

If you've lots of cuts to do then set up wet cutter. If its a quick cut or a shaped cut then a grinder is ideal. Just use a decent blade .

I use both,as theyomper say`s, if lots of cuts then get the wet cutter out other wise just use grinder...

its simple , have both, i have 5 table wetsaws and a bridge cutter but i would be lost without the angle grinder fitted with a quality blade, its very versatile , great for plunge and shaped cuts, i use a makita fitted with a porc blade..

An angle grinder and decent blade wont break the bank and is always with my tool kit. Makita user here too.
