    Default multitool or elecric wet tile cutter for marble tiles ?

    I am told that a diamond coated blade is best for cutting L shapes in a marble wall tile but which is the best and easiest tool to use for the job - an oscilating multitool or an electric wet tile cutter ? I expect that the multitool would be the best for cutting curves, but it's unlikely that I will need to do so.

    As above, an electric wet cutter for cutting, multi tool is good for polishing but will not have the guts to cut as well as a cutter.

    I use either a wet cutter or an angle grinder with a diamond blade. For curves you can get special blades for cutters that look a bit like saucers, but I have used a normal flat blade to get a curve.

    Thanks everyone. Before posting my question, I had emailed the technical department at Bosch regarding their multitool. They have since told me that the oscilating diamond coated cutter would not be suitable for a marble tile. Didn't say why.

    The tool hasn't got the guts to be used as a grinder.
