Well here are todays results. the wheel on the grinder is a Montolit and about 1 year old...well abused !
The other wheels are brand new...can you say which wheel cut which slot ?

Is that a ceramic floor tile Neale?

 

[Gazzer]

Nope its a Homebase Porcelain.

Do they maybe need running in a bit Neale? I put a DNA on my grinder last week and thought it was pants compared to the pro-gres, chipping really badly, gave it a good run today on some polished porcelain and its cutting as sweet as a nut.

Dont think so Bri, I did do a few more cuts but all the same result. The turbo blade felt as if it was rubbing its way through..hard going where as the continuous rim went through quicker and Monti flew through in comparison.

[DHTiling]

That's ugly,

Neale can you run them through a dressing stone if you have one, or an engineering brick or a breeze block, see if livens them up.

Also keep them in your tool box and run them through different materials for me please when you get a chance. All the aid of science of course.

 

[Gazzer]

Will do mate.

 

[Peter]

Disappointing, but thanks for the review Neale.

I'll have a chat with the factory, it looks like we may need to make something specifically formulated for porcelain only.

 

[Concrete guy]

Had a chat with the engineers at the factory and we have a couple of these on their way to us with our next order (circa 2 weeks) for testing on Porcelain.

These will be circa £10 inc vat

I'll send you one of these when they arrive Neale.
