My son and i are about to embark on a couple of largish tiling jobs, His kitchen floor approx 25 square Metres and my bathroom approx 20 square Metres, using 400x600mm tiles in the batroom and 300x600mm tiles on his floor. So we were wondering if its worth investing in a tile saw and if so which ones are recommended, or would it be wiser to save our money and us an angle grinder..Cheers in advance Bill

it would be easier if you could post the type of tile (ceramic/porcelain/slate etc). Assuming its one of the first two then you would be best off investing in a good 'normal' tile cutter like a rubi as you will have far more straight cuts and these will be much quicker. then just use the electric for the shaped cuts.
I would advise you read the Tiling Forum Sticky & Forum Archive posts before doing any work or buying tiling materials, it could prevent you making disastrous & potentially expensive mistakes.
It’s also important to use only quality trade tilling materials of the correct type for your tiles & tile base; cheapo own brand & DIY stuff is mostly crap.
