angle grinders are not easy 2 use once u purchase one i would suggest try sourcing some old masonry slabs 2 practise on before tackling the expensive stuff
 
i agree with above comment ,they can be a bit jerky and you should practice on old tiles first.
 
can be dusty too, soo need a water spray gun too, or makita do one that is water cooled too, but then i think its like £200 , but handy all the same
 
Cheers for all the replys guys i think i will make a purchase and then practise. Do they tend to slip alot on the tiles? Whats the best way of using one for a good neat finish?i value the fact i have 10 fingers thats all!!!:builder2:
 
how about this from Trade Tiler..TradeTiler.Ltd Makita Cordless cutter

great cutter for cheap ceramics and little cuts here and there but not up to any other jobs really
 
Aren't guys to impatient topractice? Iknow I am.
I have a few angle grinders and my preference is Makita.
I mastered the technique of using one on every cut there was in a wet-room and ended up hardly doing without it.
Good diamond blade, the easier it is. The rest is just practice..... as with anything.
And no, I am not a profesional either, its hard enough to do a few times a year, let alone every day.
