It is New Tool Tuesday! - New Tools Other Tilers Have Bought Recently

Goodbye old faithful!
Can't believe how quiet the new one is.
Deal on at CTD and with my points it cost me £15

Anyone use one and what blade would you recommend?
180mm with 16mm bore size - attachment is reversible for 22mm bore but that brings the disc n a tiny bit closer and my old porc disc fouls the tray a little. (might be a bit warped mind)

Vacuum brazed so I’d imagine China.

Couldn’t see where on the packet.

in fact it is not written ...
I think it's made in EU, but I'm not sure.
in any case, what matters is the CE mark and the numbers
of security etc etc

One of these.

I found these to be VERY material specific.
The one you have is the fine grit, only use it on softer materials.
And I don’t recommend them for cutting either, they’re vacuum braised, so can’t be dressed like a regular disc.
I trashed a fine grade on a hard Florim porcelain, not realising the fine meant it’s for softer material and not abrasive grit.
Within 30 mins of using it, it was done, and they’re expensive, it can still be used for profiling, cutting not so much. 🙁

Cheers. I have a few of these discs now, a couple of vacuum brazed and a couple of the vanity blades which are electroplated. You’re right, it’s trial and error with these things sometimes. Cheers for the heads up.

Been using this for more than a month now saw Marc had one, wasn’t easy to get, paid for it and waited weeks then got money back then they sent it saying sorry just keep it! Shoved it in a big white plasterers bucket as recommended by a certain thin tile, fat cheques expert, and it cleans the paddle nicely, no fuss! Will retire the wife’s hairbrush now! Think I bought it on a Tuesday but I’ll ask Craig David to be sure!

Surely that has to be his new signature.

Made me chuckle.
