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

[Old Mod]

Sorry Marc, I meant the grinder that wish I was a top tiler bought, should have pressed the quote button! You can get replacement tape for the hygrometer on eBay very cheap

No worries mate, although I worry about you buying a dewalt grinder 😀

I’m new to the world of cordless grinders!

I have one bought box, and also two bare units which I’ve intended to make boxes for for about 6 months!

Not had any day work then mate?

Do you have a specific alibaba link or do you just do pot luckThe ones I have looked at the postage price is always extortionate.?

 

[Waluigi]

I don’t use Alibaba. I use AliExpress.

Might be worth starting a thread on it in the other section of the forum because we can’t discuss prices here.......

Be good if you add some feedback on them when you've used them, with images too please.
Started staying clear of the M14 bits, they don’t seem to be cutting clean enough unless you buy high end pieces.
I’ve moved back too the cheapest vacuum braised bits cos they’re leaving cleaner cuts

You’re right, They don’t cut as well as as the cheaper diamond coated bits or whatever they are called. The cheaper bits but the expensive versions of those bits cut nicely with water. That because they are thin walled bits. It really depends on the application though. Towel rad pipes and hot and cold entering a wall mounted cupboard are covered in metal shrouds so it matters less

I mainly use the vacuum brazed M14 bits on the smaller verieties (6mm) and they cut beautifully. Every bit as good as the expensive versions.
