@@pavestonetv2587 definitely, I was doing it wrong before. Upsidedown and with water , I was dumb

[@tonyhorrocks5061]

Good clear demo

If I’m cutting plank porcelain tile do I need to do this many passes or can I just cut through it in two passes?
I’m not a professional and it’s a small 10ft bedroom so I won’t need to make many cuts.

When using the 9 inch grinder is there anything wrong with using it with water

[@peterevans1371]

He said you can't use water but actually you can, a small mist or stream just don't overdo it with the water and use a water safe plug, and keep the plug out of way of any water

[@BenMatthews-n2x]

Yes you can use water we use a little spray water bottle and get some 1 to gentle spray as I cut

Great if you have half hour per cut spare and happy with an aching back.
Best wasy is to score the line with a 115mm grinder, then just simply push it through my £1800 water cutter 😅😅😅

use wet saw or Rub tz tile cutter... doing straight cut with angle grinder looks very unprofessional.

[@Ratsotone]

Don't talk so round shouldered 😆

[@ateleskier7066]

Well I've just watched the same video as you and the finish looks professional enough for me. But then we can't all have your class-leading skills.
What's the address of your RUclips channel by the way? I'd love to learn from you.

[@chrisbow1776]

Why? Being able to do good straight cuts with the Stihl saw or grinder shows you're skilled, if you do it well that is.

Really really really 😂😅 old stone mason what a lot of messing about 👎

[@ateleskier7066]

A _real_ stone mason, or one of the wannabe type I've encountered so often? 🤔
