Author: Journeyman Date: 10/27/2008 3:40 pm EDT Buy a dry-cut diamond blade with a minimally segmented rim and you'll have that blade a long long time after this project is completed. Don't expect to saw completely through the tiles with the dry-grinder method tho. The trays will present a slight issue, so be prepared. A diamond wet saw is the best most efficient way to cut those tiles and the toilet flange can also be done with a wet saw. You can rent tile saws. |

Author: Chris Date: 10/27/2008 3:44 pm EDT Having a saw and a grinder is the best, but if you wan't to use just a grinder you will be fine. Rather than spraying water on the grinder blade make sure you have a good quality blade that cuts porcelain tile dry then you should only need one blade to complete your project. Instead of buying both a grinder and a saw maybe there is a local rental store you could get a saw for a day, or if you have one available you could use a standard tile cutter to make all your straight cuts. Hope this helps. |

Saw/Grinder Author: Jim Kennedy Date: 10/27/2008 12:36 am EDT Have product ready for bathroom installation. I anticipate approx. 25 straight cuts, 6 compound, plus toilet flange. Saw vs grinder???? If I go with grinder, about how many blades will I go through; and can I use a water spray with the grinder? (I don't want to buy both saw & grinder -- I'll have more long term use for the grinder.) Thanks for your time |
