115mm grinding disc for porcelain and other materials

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Hey guys my first post here,and i would like to comment regarding the ats grinding disc.I mostly work on large format tiles 150X300X6mm(kitchen worktops-tables-etc)and my main issue is the mitre.I make the mitre mostly by hand but i am not very happy with the results.I have tried many different gringing wheels and i had partial success only with the sorma fastline 60 grit.a couple of weeks ago i accidentaly bumped to this thread and i decided to give a go the ats disc.To be honest i wasnt expecting much considering the price,and when i received the disc i was disappointed by the looks of it.It looks like a cheap chinese product.Anyway,i had an brain fart and by using an adaptor i manage to install it to the raimondi free flex 45 i have.Well ,i think i am done!!that thing eats maxfine polished slabs for breakfast.if you make a mitre first with a cutting disc and leave a 2mm lip,then use the ats disc to finish it you have the perfect mitre.And the best part is that the disc looks bulletprof.I have already done around 50 linear meters and the disc looks new.Now if ats makes one 50-60 grit i think that the cutting wheel wont be necessary.One pass with this bad boy and you are ready!!!!

I'am sure Ats will be pleased your happy!
What do you use to fill the mitred joint.


And welcome!
 
Thats a good question,after alot of testing i ended up using Akemi colourbond.It matches perfectly with FMG and Fiandre slabs.Only downside is the cost of the gun(around 100-150 eur).
 
In theory we can make these any grit you like, however if you make them more coarse they don't necessarily perform the same way.

One of these discs at #50/60 would probably be too aggressive and cause breakout.

Bottom line is though we have a minimum production run of 200 pieces per grit on this product to make it viable. If there's enough interest we can make it.

Thanks for the reply,i can understand the minimum quantity,but there is no way i can order 200 pcs 🙂.I can tell you this,if this disc can last for 100 lm there is no need for a more coarser one..
 
It would do well to last 100 lm, if it did a third of that it would only be costing about 40p l/m .
