Would love one but just can't justify $200+ for a starter set up to $400 for the Top Set. I know I would end up using it for many things and it become a can't live without tool that lasts till I croak.
Make a nice incoming gift. Let's see. Birthday coming up in a few weeks. Only have a daughter around. She stopped by yesterday to borrow 20 bucks so I doubt hinting around to her would do any good :-)
I think the discs for an angle grinder would work in a bench grinder-- But for $25 you can try a Harbor Freight angle grinder- & probably make quick work of the goo once you make a jig to hold the tiles.

Somewhere along the line either in this or another thread someone mentioned about a jig.
What I ended up doing was using the RotoZip with a diamond blade I had and making a jig. Using a router, out of a block of wood I cut a depression the shape and depth of a tile (not including the thinset).

Drop tile in face down,

chip any loose stuff that came easy with chisel/5-in-1 tool, then slice/cut away thinset down to board level.

RotoZip with a diamond blade actually quite easy. Thinset not really that hard. Don't even need to hold board while using RotoZip. It's still time consuming but at least no blood drawn.
