I searched but did not find an answer.
I been advised to get a wet tile cutter, I plan to cut 10x30cm ceramic tiles , maybe about 40 tiles will need cutting, to go up against a vanity unit and the door frame , and 1 set across the back of the room, so a mitre would be good for those tiles I guess
A lot of the reviews of the cheaper machines seem to be really poor quality , screwfix do 1 for just £34
I did cut some porcelain tiles with my grinder , for a floor , but all the edges were hidden
This time its in a cloakroom and will be seen.
I have been recommended to use a ATSDiamond blade , so will probably change the blade supplied in the machine as these maybe the cause of the poor reviews, But see lots of comments that they dont cut straight, dont switch on, cover you in water , only lasted a few tiles
Anyway
I was thinking of perhaps getting the topps tile 650w at £91 , which is a lot for just 1 job, but then its a tool i may use later or with my kids in the future or but on ebay/gumtree and resell after the job.
it uses a 180mm blade, which seems to give more choice then the 110mm blades
I looked at screwfix , toolstation, amazon etc and just didn't see anything that stood out as OK
SO i joined here to see if anyone has experience of the cheap models
lookforward to comments
