Cutting porcelain floor tiles
 
I am due to fit porcelain floor tiles in the kitchen, would an angle
grinder do the job and will it need a particular disk ?

I have just laid this type of tile in our en-suite and I used a cheap
angle grinder with a professional duty, diamond, tile cutting blade
(both from Screwfix total cost about £30). I was very pleased with the
result and what is better SWMBO found it to be tolerable.


Unless you're very skilled, a proper diamond wheel wet tile cutter at
about the same price is a better bet - it will give perfectly straight and
smooth edges. And it's a *lot* safer in the hands of the inexperienced.
