curved diamond blades

[Alan M]

hi there.
i see on a few websites that they sell a curved or dished diamond blade. its suposed to allow you to cut a tighter curve .
are these any good.

 

[Muse2k8]

They do indeed yeah. If you want to try it out get something of a similar shape and try running it along something. The greater the angle you hold it the tighter it turns. Similar to how your car wheels angle to turn.

 

[Alan M]

are they worth it thow

 

[marbleman]

only if you need it

 

[Muse2k8]

Only if you would use it.

i bought one and i managed to cut out a toilet waste hole with it,it wasnt as perfect as having the appropriate size hole cutter,and it did cut a nice curve around a quadrant shower,if your going to buy,go for the marcrist with the bit that fits in your drill to smooth and enlarge cut outs,regards darren.

Is that the £70 version..

Got mine from the hire place next to Buttles in st Albans it came in a plastic box with a drill attachment cheaper than buying just the blade,cost me £50 total,maybe £70 elsewhere,regards Darren

I haven't used one myself but i would think that they would be worth having in your kit. You could alway manage without these new tools but if they make life easier then they have to be worth a try.

 

[darren pealing]

thats how i justify buying my tools rich,(making life easier)i also cant stand doing something and not having the appropriate tool,dont like to improvise,allthough sometimes have to,rubi and festool,tiling and carpentry tools at the top end eats your money,i can see the light at the end of the tunnel,allthough my missus cant lol,why couldnt i have been a bricklayer,plasterer or painter,treat yourself to one alan m,as it worked well for me,regards darren.

 

[Alan M]

im not sure if il buy one or not but if the need for one comes up il have it. i love having the right tool for the job as well. i know what you mean about festool , dear tools but worth every penny

 

[darren pealing]

I agree expensive but worth it.Bit like marcrist 850 hole cutters

My Festool jigsaw and circular saws with guides are worth their weight in gold for the time they save.You can cut panels on a piece of cardboard without damaging the floor. No need to set up benches or supports.

 

[darren pealing]

its the dust extraction that does it for me,no more eating m d f,brilliant system,and as you have said,worth their wieght in gold for so many different reasons.
