I've been looking at threads on here for a while but thought I'd post for some advice. I'm currently in the middle of a wetroom build. We're most of the way through tiling but have now reached the mitring stage. Some are simple external corners but we have to go around a window and a couple of shower alcoves which will require 'L' or right angled mitres. I know that many people just suggest using trim but I want to avoid this if possible as the mitred appearance looks much better to me.
We have a DeWalt D24000 wet saw and trying some practice cuts with the standard blade has been inconsistent - some cuts are very clean, others chip which appears to be common based on what I've read here.
My main question really is should I persevere with the DeWalt saw at least for the straight cuts or try the variable speed grinder and try hand held cutting? If so how do you reliably achieve a 45* angle without a jig?
I've attached a pic which shows the corner of the window, can get more if it helps.
I've been reading about grout types also - we plan to use black grout on the walls. From what I understand it's best to use epoxy grout for the mitred edges - does that mean I should use that throughout or just for those edges. Are there any recommendations for which one to use? I used Larsen colourfast on my last bathroom which was fine but was going to use Mapei Ultracolour this time - I've read that it can go off too fast to use properly though.
