Grinder Blade for Mitre Tiles - How to mitre tiles using a grinder - freehand mitred tiles

[Mattybaby19]

Need to do a couple of external mitre cuts and my wet saw aint the best... so want to grind away the biscuit on ceramic tile without touching the glaze.

What blade would i use for this, a normal tile diamond cutting blade or some sort of grinding blade? Any particular brand?

Cheers all.

@3_fall is the man for this one he's a freehand miter wizard

If they're only ceramics, use your normal grinder blade to cut away the meat of the tile underneath, then you can use a low grit carborundum or diamond pad stuck to a grinder backing pad to polish the rest away.
Here's three examples from @Pro Tiler Tools

As it's ceramic, you may find 200# more suited than the courser 50# depends how light your touch is.

50# DIAMOND PAD

Do you use them on a full speed grinder Marc?

The optimum speed for those sigma pads is 3000rpm if memory serves.
I assume you don't have a variable speed grinder Andy, no?

I just looked at that on Bosch's website. Either its really small, or the guy doing the demo has big hands!

I'm just part way through a 120LM of mitred tiles and to be honest it's driving me mad I've been through a few different blades found the best two to be the ATS turbo x and continuous rim that I've never been a fan of before but found it lurking in the bottom of the box
