Having just treated my self to a dust extractor as I said in the hardi post I'm gonna get my self a new concrete grinder who's using what ?
I've seen eibenstock make one so do bosch festool even norton make one but which is the best ?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

At the moment I'm just using a crap grinder with a generic dust shroud of eBay but I'm looking to get sumat professional

[Kyle Knowles]

That very similar to what I'm using now but I'm thinking more

 

[LM]

[Kyle Knowles]

[Kyle Knowles]

Every tiler needs a concrete grinder I've even used mine to take bumps out of plaster walls coz u know them damn plasterers love leaving bumps just to annoy us

What grinder do you use with it ?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

Just a crap one that was about 20 quid of amazon

 

[White Room]

Might get on of them....not a crap grinder, the shroud

 

[Kyle Knowles]

I found with my grinder coz its a crap one I had to pack the grinding plate/disc up with some washers for it to work just rite but for the money the shroud is spot on

Flex make some specialist grinding tools that often aren't marketed much in the UK. Take a look at some of the following:-

RE14-5 Retecflex - View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cx4AxgMuRrs


SE14-2 125 Supraflex - View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klIXEFUMi_k


WST 1000 FV Concrete-Giraffe - View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XDwTP-ZDpg


LD 15-10 125 - https://www.flex-tools.com/documentpool/Flyer13_LD15-10_125_R_GB.pdf

LD 18-7 150 (same as above but larger.

LD 24-6 180 (even bigger) FLEX-Elektrowerkzeuge seit 1922

We are FLEX distributors and can organise anything this company produces.

I can't discuss pricing on forum.

If you want to mooch through the Flex website it's here:- FLEX - Elektrowerkzeuge seit 1922

For your information (as FLEX isn't a prominent brand in the UK outside of metalworking and stone masonry).

FLEX are German, they invented the angle grinder hence their company moto "Das Original". On mainland Europe they are considered on par with FESTOOL for quality and they are the default brand of choice in the stone masonry industry.

Any questions just ask, preferably contact us off forum if you want pricing etc. However for general info about what tools do then I'll answer what I can on here without breaking forum rules.

All looks well engineered...that's German engineering for you.

They have pretty decent backup here in the UK too, all there warranty repair work is undertaken by a large tool company in Derby.

Machines aren't big business for us, we're not really interested in competing with FFX type on line power tool sales firms but we do tend to stock specialist stone masonry tools which no one else does. We shift around 200 FLEX powertools a year most of which are catering for the specialist market.

Of all the ones listed above we only stock the SE14-2 125 as it's mostly a dust extracted polisher. But anything this firm sells we can get at around a weeks notice from the factory in Germany (Flex don't have premises in the UK).

found this lovely little attachment for my bosch grinder to make it in to a floor grinder so can forget about the festool ome for now and get myself the festool grinder
