Best Way To Lay Mosaics

[Old Mod]

Great machine. I just wish it was a bit more portable. I'm thinking of getting a Marcrist STC185 or something similar. You had the Rubi version from memory. Is that right?? I'm looking at the Marcrist because of the bevel capability. Any thoughts?

Yeah that's right Paul the Rubi TC 180
If I could justify it I'd prob go for the Flex version. Specifically designed for the stone industry. If their polished/grinders are anything to go by it'll be the best! Been using their gear for 10yrs now!
But yes the bevel facility is sadly lacking on the Rubi!! Shame great tool cos it runs on Festool guides, and they're cheaper! Haha
Have u seen my JOTM?
All done on your machine you know! Haha

Nice work Marc. I'm glad the machine is doing well for you. I had a couple of months off the forum (not that it would have been noticed) I was one of the people that went to NY from the job that was advertised on here. That was an experience I can tell you!!!!

I hate fitting mosaics, I think my biggest issue with them is, it's very rare to find them fitted to the sheets uniformly and I end up wasting so much time faffing with them to get them all straight! I don't hate them as much as I hate kitchen splash backs though!

Why the dislike of splash backs? I seem to do loads.

I think it's the fact that I don't cover much metrrage so feel like I've not achieved much! Add to that all the sockets, bad walls, out of level work surfaces and you have the perfect recipe for a horrid day I just don't get any job satisfaction from them.

Put the whole kitchen in as well then, gives you a level work surface, better walls and more satisfaction

You do get a bit bored of the metro/brick style tiles when doing the splash backs, other than that I don't mind them, mind you I don't mind a bit of regrouting and most hate it.

Can I ask why did you start with a cut tile off the work surface ?

 

[Millington Deco]

I'm gonna guess, gap above the sockets with full tile off the work top and better size cut under the units?

Exactly millington, and where it met the extractor. Didn't need to as ws was pan flat so shame but there you go.
