I had a lot of old pipes and rebar to cut up and from what I read ruclips.net/user/postUgkxPDBfLu68o58Aw85O_J-zIFfjJARBhp-3 this would be the tool for the job. Since I had never used one, I watched a couple of youtube videos and I'm so glad I did. Some really good safety tips, which I followed, and this tool did a splendid job. One good thing to know is the weight of the tool puts just about the right amount of pressure on the metal I was cutting, so I didn't have to use a lot of pressure, which is more likely to jam the tool. It made fast work of my job.
Your video saved the day! I would have never thought about blade rotation and knocking out the shin in the center . everything went smooth as silk. THANKS!!!
Watch for the kickback with tile and angle grinder.. especially if your doing small tile.. your hand will be closer than comfortable to that spinning booger and as soon as you get through the edge of the tile it will either try to grab and snap the tile or grab your hand if it doesnt.. gotta go slow through em.. aint like metal..
Great video Ron. Would you recommend I use the grinder on my marble countertop that I have to shave off 1/2 in. from the finish edge, in order to fit our new fridge. Any help/advice, thanks.
I am sure, with the proper blade, (diamond) you can cut the marble; however, an unguided mistake could really make some ugly marks. I would probably make some sort of fence for a guide. Dust is also going to be a problem. I have a Rockwell hand saw that you can attach a vacuum to. If need be you can also polish the end. I hope this helps. Ron
Thank you Ron, two questions if I may. Do you see advantage to wet cutting? And my problem: my Makita grinder is so locked down I can't budge it with the spanner, any ideas? It also has in the box a rubber boot of some kind, could it be THAT boot should have been applied as part of the clamping system and the reason it is so hard to break free now?
In my opinion wet is always better than dry for two reasons. One, the dust is contained and two, the workpiece is kept cool. As for the issue with your grinder, I really haven't a clue . . . sorry. Ron
never cut around the toilet - always lift the toilet and enter with surrounding tiles under the toilet. Put transparent silicone thin layer under the toilet foot and put the toilet back
+Willem Arnhem I would never use water with a standard angle grinder. They do make water grinders for that purpose . . . they are quite expensive. Make it a great day. Ron

Thanks for pointing out the direction the blade needs to be installed to cut properly.

Yes, I didn't know about the rotation either.
Excellent video. I am excited to be doing my first tiling job around a toilet and your tutorial covered many things I had not considered.
Great video, with good tips for success...need to put ceramic tile in bathroom and did not know how to cut tile...Thanks a million!
Love the focus on safety while wearing shorts. Thanks for the video
short, sweet and to the point. Thanks, man!
man...that's some good work...VERY good tutorial!!! Thanks, much appreciated info. I would like to see some of your finished tile work!!!
+Rick Walker Thanks for the complement. Check out ruclips.net/video/UJYvGs7C1XE/видео.html

Good tips. Thank you for posting.

Thank you Uncle Ron.
Great video. Thank you for the good info!
Nice tips... thanks.
Thanks a lot for your tips !!
Hey Ron! Could you use this method to cut stone tiles?
Actually it's a clockwise rotation. The grinder is upside down. Good video.
GmenAgain actually no.
Thanks Dad!
Thank you 👍
Congratulations for the video my friend lives in Brazil and I would like to know which site you buy this diamond disk

I'm wondering if a mirror can be cut properly

Thanks for that tip re. wet/dry; I'll try the wet, no downside I can see and even with mask, the dry sounds potentially hazardous.
hammer and punch or chisel
What is the yellow thing hanging around your neck?
I got some crazy tricks and I will start making videos because my actual trade is a tile installer
Don't know if I'll be doing any more tile work; however, I'll certainly take a look at what you do. Thanks Ron
if the blade is old n no more mark can be seen how do you know the rotation direction should be ?
never cut around the toilet - always lift the toilet and enter with surrounding tiles under the toilet. Put transparent silicone thin layer under the toilet foot and put the toilet back
I think he meant to say Eg. toilet flange
silicone under the toilet can cause moisture problems especially on wood substrate
Is it possible to use wet cutting or would you risk shorting out the angle grinder
+Willem Arnhem I would never use water with a standard angle grinder. They do make water grinders for that purpose . . . they are quite expensive. Make it a great day. Ron
I've use water with a regular grinder and everything was A-OK. Just don't over do it. Also the water will never just
how about a 90deg corner notch..like we would run into in the real world
what's that on your neck? I don't mean a head :) But that yoellow tube.
It's a respirator for dust protection.
I rather use a Dimond blade because you can get lots of chips.
What if you don’t have a deer face 😉
