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.

All wet cutters for me, grinders make look something out of the chain saw massacre

try using a wet cutter to cut mall tiles that have been laid for twenty years lol but always use a wet sponge with it :Pete

Which angle grinder blade would you recommend?

get mine from trimline havent found the marcist blades i have tried very good as i only tend to use granite and porcelain tiles most of the time

I use a Norton Aerojet, got from screwfix for about £50, cuts through the likes of granite like butter.

i use a angle grinder for mosaics etc and a wetcutter for everything else..

I have a wet cutter but have just started to use a grinder as well.

It's certainly a lot easier if you've only got a few cuts than having to set up the wet one (and then clean it!)

It's the only bit that I don't enjoy about tiling - having to clean all of the kit. Although (reluctantly) I do make sure that it is cleaned at the end of each day.

At least with my plumbing jobs it's just a case of packing away a ton of tools
