    Rubi Rubi TC180 or Flex CS60?

    My quest for an easier envelope cutting solution continues.... I mainly work with 60 x 60cm porcs so I need something that is up to the job and produces factory edge cuts I've got a Festool angle grinder system which runs on a track but the quality of cuts isn't good enough. Also, if you want...

    Porcelanosa Referral Business

    A few years ago I did some business with Porcelanosa and would send customers in to see a specific sales member. I would agree that the customer got a 15-20% discount using my account. I stopped sending people there as I did fit only work for a company for a while. Recently, I re-opened my...

    Need ideas for Linear tray

    My customer wants a linear tray ideally around 800 x 1200 with the drain at one end. He's chosen mosaic tiles 48mm square so they're obviously just under the minimum recommended tile size most manufacturers recommend. I therefore need to find a tray (probably solid construction) that will take...

    Bosch GCT 115

    I decided to try one of these as I don't like getting soaked doing wet cuts and my current angle grinder makes so much dust. This little unit works well. It came with the hose attachment and Lboxx case. I've attached it to my Nilfisk Aero vacuum and I'd say it removes about 90% of all of the...

    Floor deflection

    I've been to see a job where tiles are coming loose on a ply overlaid floor. Underneath the ply it's chipboard but you can feel the floor bounce when you jump on it easily. I've told the guy that he really needs to take up the floor, strengthen with noggins and relay but he doesn't want to due...

    Materials Markup

    I've recently put a spreadsheet together for all material costings so that I can gauge jobs a bit better. As a default, I marked up all materials by 30%. Do you think this is a fair mark up or otherwise?

    Wetroom tileable shower tray 1600 x 1600mm?

    Does anyone know where I can get one of these trays from if at all possible. It will need to go on first floor over beams. Went to have a look at the job this morning and it appears that the plumbers had tried to form their own tray using 6mm ply and adhesive but it's failed miserably.

    Montolit FS Drill bits

    Been looking at the Montolit drill bits for an angle grinder. They look quick but expensive. I'm constantly going through drill bits and thought I might spend the money on these. Has anyone else tried them?

    Topps Porcelain Tiles

    I don't do an awful lot of tiling and when I do it's usually Porcelanosa tiles but this customers chose the Topps porcelain tiles. What a pain they were. Having to strip wax off, seal with porcelain sealer and then buff it all up took the best part of a day. Are all of Topps porcelain tiles...

    Trowels & Adhesive

    Hi Guys, I'm fitting some large tiles. The wall tiles are 33cm x 100cm. Am I right in thinking a 6mm square notched trowel will be ok for these? The floor tiles are 44cm x 66cm (porcelain) and I was thinking 10mm round notched trowel. Also, wasn't sure whether to go with butech adhesive or...

    DWW180 questions

    Seen one of these in B&Q for £99. I'm thinking of getting a good wet cutter and had previously thought about the Rubi 180 but thought that it could be messy in doors. Can you use CPC blades in the plasplugs or its it their own blades only? I like the idea of the water re-circulation. Any...
