Get yourself a variable speed grinder, so you can use it for polishing tile edges/mitres etc as well.
I got a Bosch variable speed from @Pro Tiler Tools and its paid for itself with the time i have saved.

Hello mate, why variable speed grinder? What’s the benifors over a single speed grinder? Cheers

Variable speed for differing types of materials.

some will over heat the bit at higher speeds, similar to when you polish out stone, you cant use the same speed for all polishing.

Having said that we find the Rubi gres dry bits pretty flexible on most materials.

benefits of angle grinder over drill is control, two hands are better than one.
