But that size blade makes cutting around outlets difficult. The Montolit Squadro has a radius that allows it to easily cut the short side of an electrical box. Always look at the angle grinder's maximum RPM and the blade's maximum RPM. It's best to make sure the angle grinder blade's max RPM is more than the angle grinder's RPM. For example, the Fein WSG7-115 is rated at 12,000 RPM. The Montolit Squadro is rated at 18,000 RPM. The angle grinder blade should line up with the arrow on the blade. Tighten down the blade on the grinder while it's unplugged or without the battery. Wear a respirator, hearing protection and eye protection. Start the cut on the finished side of the tile and complete the cut on the opposite side of the tile. Patience and a keen eye along with the Montolit Squadro will help make perfect cut tile around outlets. Watch our video for all the details    • How to Cut Tile Around Outlets (Easy ...
