First impression? This thing feels SOLID. The stainless steel construction gives it a premium heft, and the ABS parts don't feel cheap at all. When I clamped my 100-type grinder into it, there was zero wobble - crucial when you're trying to get those perfect 45° edges on bathroom tiles.
The water pipe interface is genius. Connecting my spray bottle hose eliminated dust clouds and kept the blade cool during marathon tile-cutting sessions. No more breathing in that nasty ceramic powder!
Adjustment is where this tool shines. Unlike cheaper brackets that require wrench adjustments mid-cut, the cam lever system lets me reposition the guard with one hand while holding tiles with the other. Game-changing when you're working solo on backsplash projects.
Word of caution though - compatibility is hit or miss. It fits my Bauer like a glove but refused to cooperate with my DeWalt. The product description isn't kidding about 100-type grinders only.
After beveling about 30 linear feet of porcelain tile, I can confirm: zero deformation in the bracket, and the non-slip feet stayed put on my workbench. That convenient handle makes it easy to reposition between cuts without unclamping the grinder.
Is it perfect? No - I wish the clamping screws had knurled knobs for tool-free adjustments. But for under $50, this has become my go-to for professional-looking mitered edges without buying a dedicated tile saw.
