Really? That is interesting! It could solve all kinds of other problems for

So you did not have any problems with the plastic melting? And you used
standard 4-1/2" cut-off wheels with the water bath? I just had a look at the
Dewalt tile saw manual. They warn strenuously against doing just that...BTW,
what is the rpm on the tile saw - same as an angle grinder?


Nope, no problem as long as I kept the water flowing. I would bet the
plastic would melt without coolant. Don't try to cut the notches all in
one pass and let the part cool down a bit and it would reduce the risk
to about zero.

I can't imagine why a company that also make metal cutting tools would
tell you not to buy a cheaper tool to do the same job ;-)

The tile saw I have uses the same grinder that I use for normal use, it
does have a rubber sleeve that keep water out but other than that it's
the same design.
