45 Degree Tile Chamfering Tool for Angle Grinder

[Yukster]

I'd be grateful for a recommendation for

1. a good 45 Degree Tile Chamfering Tool for Angle Grinder. I've seen a few on Amazon but the reviews are not good. Can someone recommend one that works well please.

2. Good angle grinder that's got enough power to cut 3cm terracotta tiles

TIA

OP,
Depending on what you are intending to do but its often best to hire a professional wet tile saw for cutting chamfering and mitering 30mm material.

I just used a bog standard wet tile cutter for chamfering slate tiles.

Are these tiles 3cm deep?

 

[Yukster]

I think my original question was a bit confusing. What I'm trying to do is finish the edge of a path that's looking a bit rough.

The tiles are actually 22mm thick and my idea was to cut the end of the path tiles at 45 degrees, and to use leftover tile also cut at 45 degrees to cover the ugly concrete bit in the pic, hence my question about the grinder attachment.

Is this doable, a sensible idea?

If I understand what you want want to do, you would need to remove the existing end tiles and chamfer them.

Wouldn't it be easier to find a black tie of a suitable height and then trim it to height?

I would not want to be doing this with an angle grinder, this forum has already had a members death through the misuse of one.
Instead look to putting something that achieves what you want in front like the tiles suggested above, or if you want a chamfer make one with cement/morter and tiles etc.

I’ve recently done a similar job. I used a Bihui 1200W variable speed angle grinder. I have a set speed one but wouldn’t want to use it for this type of thing as they are pretty ferocious. The variable one is much better and I could set it on one of the lower speeds which was more than ample.

I used this blade with it (this was for porcelain tiles):

Diamond cutting disc

I then drew a pencil line at the tile edge at 45 degrees and cut it freehand by eye, with the tile clamped down on a workbench. Quite easy to do. You can grind a bit more off with the disc if it isn’t quite right, and to finish I used a diamond sanding block on the cut edge to smooth it out a bit.

I looked at the same cutting guides and came to the conclusion I’d be better off giving the above a go. Worked out well with all digits intact. That said I only used this method due to the tiles being large format otherwise I would have used my table top wet tile saw which can be used to mitre. This one
