Default Diamond wheel tile cutters

You'll not need those, as all it throws out is water with some slurry in
it - no chunks as you might expect with an angle grinder etc. Just make
sure you set the guard as low as possible otherwise you'll get soaked -
but in any case wear something that doesn't matter if it gets wet.



Tell me your joking?


No, Dave's right. With a solid disk as used in table tile cutters the
chances of anything flying off are pretty low, and the chances of it
getting past the guard even lower.

I'm pretty careful, and will often be seen wearing goggles while angle
grinding. I even use a welding mask when welding. But I don't think
these tile cutters require such precautions.

How many of us wear goggles while hitting things with a hammer? Far more
risk there.
