Equipment Recommendations

[Steve Burton]

Just starting out in the business and wondering what equipment everyone would recommend? Batoning system, electric cutters etc.

Tiling Tools Starter Kit - http://www.tilersforums.com/threads/tiling-tools-starter-kit.186/

List might need updating to include things like lash clips and whatnot. Lots of tiles these days are large format (over half a meter or so in size each).

Goes without saying that the best prices and service comes from www.tradetiler.com @David - Tradetiler - Mention the forum when calling or ordering online.

You basically need trowels, cutters, mixing paddles, grinders maybe (but perhaps not when you first start out).

Welcome to the forum by the way Steve

Hi Steve,
If you, click here and start a new thread introducing yourself to the other members, and tell us who you are and how you've become a tiler.
It may give a clearer idea of what to suggest to you.
Welcome.

Andymac I could go on google and hunt for it, but being honest I've never seen one of those! I take it they're a good job then? More or less a splash guard when you run your mixer through clean water?

I had the Karl dahm one before this one not as good quality flimsy bucket. This one takes a 160mm paddle mixer clean all day long.

Looks good that, but £90?! Might have to make one with a couple of wallpaper paste brushes, an empty tub, and a lid with a hole in it!
