    A lot of tilers just use a small wet saw, you are right though, it is a basic tool for a pro. I've seen so many tilers struggling with socket cuts and cuts for soil pipes because they don't have a grinder. Basic tool yes, but some don't use them for some reason.

    I only get the wet saw out for stone, grinder doesn't need cleaning at the end of the day either
