I just find it easier on little wet saw, some times end up with small cuts under units etc to do

I've read with interest and i'm not convinced, I still dont understand why you'd want to do it, you've got a higher risk of injury with grinder kicking back, chips in your eyes, dust in lungs.
Don't get me wrong Ive got two grinders but unless with were huge format tiles i'd just use a wet cutter

Half way through a 15month project and the main contractor tells us we all need kick back stop grinders. We had 20+ tilers on site so obviously a huge cost. We fought it and won because
1. Kick back when cutting 10mm thick tile rarely happens. You're doing something wrong if it does. Safe operating will prevent it.
2. Kick back grinders (at this time) only started at 125mm. So we'd have to go for larger more powerful grinders in order to get the needed safety feature.
We do wear dust masks when operating. Glasses should be worn with wet saw aswell.
A nice dewalt wet cutter would be a nice replacement for a grinder but come at a huge cost for larger companies.
I confirm, at low speed, it becomes warm.I've just bought a Bosch GWS 7-115e and it gets quite hot at slow speeds and doesn't sound the best anyone else have the same problem I don't know if that's what they are like or should I send it back I have the flex variable speed and it's a lot smoother
Grinders are great on right jobs .and used right way . For instance how much do some spend on hole cutters .when you can grind through back of a tile and use toffee hammer to knock perfect holes through .
Agreed timed mine between 15 and 20 secondsWhen I workout how to compress my mp4 I'll upload it. A 40mm hole in under a minute with grinder and hole saw. That's through porcelain. Much faster than toffee hammer so worth it
