Hello What email address, the answer is ceramic is not quite the same as masonary that is why the blades go dull, you needa ceramic cutting disc, have you heard of a "do all" disc? (advertised on infomertials)

cuts anything and has a liftime g'tee so if you do dull it send it back and get another one free

try this place for the do all disc

another way is get a small diamond blade that those small electric tile cutters use(like a table saw),these blades fit an angle grinder,if your lucky it may fit your saw too

B&Q are selling a stand alone ceramic cutter for £30 approx.

We've used it - excellent job

are you cutting tiles straight if so use a tile ciutter but i dont know wat its called but u have to use man power instead of machine it really easy to use and most diy store have themk its really just a small blade on a sliding bar which u bring across and the push down and cut the tile
