    Rubi Flex CS60 or Rubi TC180 wanted

    That link doesn't include a CPC Pro blade though. I'm not desperate for the money and in no rush so I'll try for the best I can get first.

    Rubi Flex CS60 or Rubi TC180 wanted

    I have a TC-180 that will be on eBay tonight from 6.00pm. The cutter, container and an extra Rubi CPC Pro blade are included in the sale but no rails. The selling price will be £350.

    CAD Software, anybody got recommendations?

    I have Articad but you can just have the bathroom version which is far cheaper than the Pro version. It's simple enough to use but initial cost does put you off....that said, it will soon pay for itself. If you have the software you can compete more with the showrooms on jobs.

    Some pics of my last two weeks

    Really nice job. Nice to do something other than just tiling too.

    Tiling a bath panel ???

    If you have a B&Q warehouse near you, look for Q-board which is normally in the plastering and coving section. The panels are designed for baths with adjustable feet. They're also cheaper and easier to work with.

    festool diamond plunge cutter

    I think it's a good product. My gripe with it was that I thought it would be a GREAT product with the Festool name on it. I wouldn't get rid of it as it's my go-to cutter when I am working with Marble or large format tiles and I don't want to be going outside for every cut. As I've said...

    festool diamond plunge cutter

    It's OK but not as good as I was hoping it would be. Don't bother with the stock blade. I've had best results with the Accumax blade. I mainly use it for jobs where I want to do all cuts inside. Dust extraction is fairly good - I'd say 90% of the dust is extracted. One thing I would...

    Schluters NEW Advanced wet room course.

    I normally don't like the idea of paying companies to get trained to use their products. This does sound like you get to actually try out a lot of expensive products as well as learn about them. Seems like a good deal for £99

    cutting long porcelain

    I've got one of those too Marc. It's the absolute best if the window opening is big enough. The last few jobs have been smaller window openings. I find the 5m hose ok but but have to keep the first metre straight otherwise there's a fair bit of blow back.

    cutting long porcelain

    I'm using the Festool angle grinder guide rail system on the job I'm doing at the moment. The tiles are Porcelanosa 1.5m wooden planks. I'm doing all of the cuts inside the room I'm working in and connected to the vacuum. I've also got my air filter going too. The secret with the Festool is...

    Advice required about Hole repair kits for porcelain

    I've used the Picobello kit and provided you take your time, you'll repair that easily enough. The secret is to use darker colours as your base. You can then add minimal amounts of lighter colours to get the blend right. You will never get a perfect result but I'd say unless someone is...

    Painted concrete on floor to be tiled with UFH

    A concrete grinding disc along with a grinder shroud connected to a hoover will make short work of that. Yes, there will be a bit of dust but the hoover should catch at least 90% of it.

    Shower tray installation

    If you are using a marine ply base you use any type of tray provided it is fully supported by placing it on a bed of adhesive. If you intend to use leg kits, I'd stick with a heavier tray which will have a sturdier feel to it. Try either Mira or Just Trays and you won't go wrong
