Different Mitre Testing

In my opinion........you cant get a "perfect" mitre on porcelain with a wetsaw........you cant......you need a specialist machine.....like the one from Ramondi......

failing that a perfect mtire can be achieved via a wetsaw and hand polishing..............my mate ATS Diamond tools is developing a "bit" that can be added to a flex machine (or angle grinder!)....
that has an m8 thread!!!..
that will do a mitre...........perfectly.......in principal...

I dont have one yet to test but I do have a couple of his other bits to check out in the near future........20mm full bullnose and 15mm quarter round.............VIDEO INCOMING!.....

all the best

Gary already has one of the mitre tools Lee. I'm sure he'll let you have a play if you ask nicely.

I had a very limited number ready to go, the rest are imminent as soon as I get the new washers here, which is taking far longer than was first suggested.
 
clearly posts have dissapeared leaving me a little confused......so Dave......I have a spectrum blade, it is fantastic, but its not cheap...and I bet the monolit is not either.....the spectrum is 2/3mm thick and wanders a little...TBH....

and ATS........WHAT DO YOU MEAN GARY HAS ONE!!!!!...........hhehehheeheheeheee.........Gary has gone to Egypt for the weekend, and god willing........he is having a great time!!!!

all the best

hhehehhehheheheeee............

today i sanded the edges. i will groat the tiles with ardex anthrazit FM tomorrow. its dark and more like black than grey so the glue fits ok i think.
i cut all miters with my flex cs 60 wet.
the edge is very nice to touch. C220 finishing.

i finished the edge with a buff diamond pad. so it is a better result.

today i made a video of the cs 60. the crazy thing is for straight cuts is the machine not very good but for mitering i like it more and more.

the result is very good:

i made the step tile for my showroom to offer the massive edges thing. this one is getting really nice. i like it very much.

ok, it was no cheap thing to experiment with a lot of mobile tools but its an invest. i think i can offer this kind of edge this year. my dream is also to built wash basins and making a lot of mason things in bathrooms. the next weeks i want to plan and build a washing basin with a shower line drain.

Outstanding work Rainsco, factory finish :thumbsup:
 
the clamps are from weha but the quality is not very nice. i found out the manufactor in far east but there are also expensive there.
 
oh yes
a veritable weinachts markt of germany finest.
who could not wish for a finer stocking filler from st nick than the smogasbord of tools you have laid out .
you never cease to impress rainsco.
 
hi tool fans,

in this year i have a lot of standard work to do because of the german angst. they all invest in boring tenements.

but now i have a job where i can test on the mitre tools.
my flex is upgraded with a new 180mm blade with slots to get more water for mitering the 2cm stones. works fine but its a question of the right technic. i have to do a little step cut before and then dive in.
look at my self made rail cutter. i can bark natural stone with it. i like it and its easy to handle. no tables, easy weight.
heres some pics of the machine park on the current job:
