External mitre profiling tool

[Gazzer]

Its something I would like in my toolkit.

 

[rainsco]

i think like impish. maximum grit is 60.
is your coating for wet and dry?

here is a something like that tool from monolit:

^ very similar indeed but on the bullnose and radius tools I prefer to use a stainless steel guide. This mitre tool will have a plastic guide like the images above.

These are vacuum brazed diamond tools so will work wet or dry. Wet will last longer.

The big advantage of vacuum brazed is they don't lose their shape with wear and they don't drop diamonds, so it's ideal technology for this kind of tool that is creating a uniform shape.

Factory drawings are back. I've ordered 10 to start us off to see how you guys like them.

We have the option to manufacture these in one of 3 grit levels.

Coarse - 40/50 grit (the image of the r10 tool above is 40/50).
Medium - 70/80
Fine - 140/180

As this isn't a finished edge that's seen we've decided to go with coarse which will give the fastest and long lasting tool of all three. We can always alter that with later production of we need to but we think it will provide the best tool for purpose.

The cost will be £68.15 + vat (£81.78) + P&P - I will ship international at cost if required.

We're likely to see these within the next 4 weeks.

If you have an interest in one of these first 10 then let me know and we'll earmark one for you.

I'll post images on this thread when they arrive.

I'll take one
. should i PM you? can i pay now ? :hurray:

We can organise all that when they get here Tony, your name is on the list so you have one of the first in reserved.

For lowish value items of this nature I'm not overly keen on taking money off people until I actually have the items sat in front of me.

If someone is ordering 500 off I want see some cash!

 

[Concrete guy]

Reserved list (including anyone who expressed an interest earlier in the thread).

It looks like I need to up the order already.

If you want to add your name simply copy this post - add it on and post.

Same if you want off the list.

Thanks for that . You see i have criticized MITRE WIZZ heavily, as didn't see nothink serious. What you have here , could be the tool which sits in most tilers tool box

That would be good. It's odd little items like this that often surprise us.

Quick - register the design. Patent it. Do summink! :smilewinkgrin:

Perhaps I'm missing something here but the principle of both is broadly the same - a hand held tool for mitres.

Both look to be good options.

MITRE WIZZ IS ACTUAL ANGE GRINDER, in video clip they cut mitre , i believe on ceramic tile (wich is soft) . With mitre wizz you don't see what you are doing, does it fit on any angle grinder? etc. etc.etc. I just realy want to try this new tool , i think it has potential. It's only my opinion

 

[One Day]

The age-old trouble with cutting mitres on tiles - particularly porcelain - is the jagged edges.
Mitre-wizz as far as I can tell, doesn't address that bit of the problem.
This tool though would leave a nice clean 1mm "lip" of either factory-edge, or our wet-cut edge.

This tool definitely has the potential to be better as I would think the cut itself would be better than a grinder blade cut, it appears that the cut itself would be obscured from view by the tool itself.

Is this new tool designed to be used dry with a grinder?

Yes it's designed for use on a grinder wet or dry (wet will extend tool life). The only thing I'm not absolutely sure on right now is the target cutting speed.

I've assumed it will be close to the marble bullnose tools we sell at under 4500. But I have a feeling that porcelain actually might benefit from high speed cutting/grinding so that may even open up the tool use more if were able to be used at say 10,000rpm on your average grinder.

I've come from a stone background so have a limited knowledge of profiling porcelain, but I will confirm target speed before the items are sent out.

i have vacuum brazed drills for dry and wet use for a variable speed grinder. i prefer diamant drills in wet use but sometimes i don´t have my hole drilling machine by me. so the vacuum brazed works perfekt in marble and granit but on porcelain stoneware it works not smooth and if you don´t use it wet theres no long life. so i will try your tool, cause i can use it for natural stone by the way. but i personaly would prefer a big coating of diamant, only wet use and adjustable rings when shape is smaller.


in this video on 6.28min you see the bullnose tool on porcelain stoneware.
