Finally a straight forward video on how to cut porcelain with an angle grinder. What Blade do you recommend for a small project?

[@tommooe4524]

Check out the porcelain blade,,,,thin diamond blade with holes to allow it to cool

Use a sponge to add the water you need.

Hi, yes this is a possibility but we do always have to remember that any amount of water used with an electric tool as in my video is not a good idea. As battery powered grinders are more and more popular the risk is reduced considerably.

I’m using a Makita GA9020KD 2000W 230mm Angle Grinder , could you recommend a blade to cut my 20mm porcelain slabs with please?

between 1 and 6 - how fast is that rotation ? When you say low revs ? low low?

[@pavestonetv2587]

Hi, yes low revs. It's a hard one to describe but not so low that the blade snags in the cut otherwise that will damage the paving and possibly the blade. It is one of those activities' that gets better with practice. Mark
