I am about to tile our new ensuite shower(8m2) with 600x300mm ceramic tiles approx 8mm thich.
I will also be tiling our new kitchen floor when its ready in 2 months (30m2) with porcelain tiles that I think will be 900x450mm approx 8-10mm thick.
Currently I have no tile cutter worthy of such a job and am looking to invest. I have discounted using hire equipment as I will be doing the jobs (particulary the kitchen floor) over a number of weeks (maybe even months).
I am probably going to buy a small angle grinder with a diamond blade for cutting out the awkward shapes. Will I be OK with just this or should I invest in a a tile cutter or a table saw as well?
Also can anyone recomend any of the above bearing in mind I've got these 2 jobs to do with it and then possibly another shower room and bits and pieces around the sink/kitchen worktops etc...
Budget is as cheap as possible to do the job well but am quite prepared to spend a few hundred quid if thats whats required, maybe more with the possility of selling kit on ebay or similar when finished with.
Thanks for any thoughts or knowledge on any of this
Jim
