If just one job buy a high powered cheap cutter ,its a good blade u need ,all about the blade

Why not use a dry cutter?

 

[Qwerty]

I would opt for a Vitrex with a good blade

What's wrong with a grinder? Can't remember the last time I used my wet cutter?!

Same as Geoff, Vitrex with a good blade should suffice.

same here grinder and a 850 grit blade and finish off edge with a diamond 200 grit polishing pad

Go lightly on the tile with a good wheel on a fry cutter = nice cut

 

[Brian the Tile]

Or a dry cutter may do the job also lol

Hire one!

if i use the dry cutter ive got, then hold the metal edge trim against the cut, you can see its not flat as there are gaps showing light through etc.

surely it would be impossible to get a perfectly straight cut using an angle grinder?

Common problem you get with some porcelain tiles....I still dry cut them then lightly rub them against my wet cutter blade to get the edge flat...I just use my vitrex wet cutter.

Which one ?

Says diamant on the side.
Looks like the DW250NL.
The seller said it cost £1900 but if true, that was obviously a while back.
The cutting blade is 2mm thick and he said was a cheap one and I'd be better cutting porcelain with a good 1.5mm

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

How much did you pay for that??? @gooty

 

[gooty]

£140

nearly as cheap as hiring and hopefuly sell after the bathrooms finished

Is that the bench saw designed for actual building sites?

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Sounds like a win win.

Does it matter is the edge isnt really perfect because you need a 2mm for grout between the tile and metal edging anyway, so as I see it as long as it doesnt look too rag-tag it its not so bad.

 

[rufus the tiler]

any with a good blade

Use a sanding pad just smooth the edge a bit...
