Pro tip: that guy who said my grinder technique was trash actually had a point

Been cutting tile for 10 years with a 4 inch grinder and always got chipping at the edges. A tile setter from Phoenix watched me for 30 seconds and said "you're forcing it, let the blade eat." Slowed down my feed rate by half and now I get clean cuts every time. Anyone else get humbled by simple advice they thought they knew?

Man wait hold up, 10 years of chipping and you didn't think to try pushing slower? That's wild but I get it, we get stuck in our ways and think we know it all. One little tweak and now you're getting clean cuts, that's the kind of humble pie that sticks with you.

Is chipping wood really the kind of thing that keeps you up at night?
