wet saw vs angle grinder

[Leatherface]

As with all tools - buy the best that you can afford at the time. Have 3 wet saws now, 2 rubis and a norton clipper. The biggest rubi is a table saw with a 300mm blade and a 2000 watt motor. Will cut through anything, even flagstones and bricks.
Angle grinders are always handy - again if you can afford then spend the extra money and get a variable speed one - then you will be set up for polishing when you do natural stone jobs - eg polished edges - for example when fixing limestone or travertine into a window reveal. Just butt joint them , then round off and polish the rough edge. Looks far better than tile trim or leaving bare edge. You can charge more too. Look at spending £120 plus for a decent variable speed grinder.

I still haven't graduated to a Master tiler yet, :lol:

Also to add - a variable speed grinder is also much better for sanding than a conventional sander - many differend grades of sanding pad available. Very usefull for taking emulsion paint off walls prior to tiling.
