External mitre profiling tool

[Tony73]

one stone mason told me the same, that makita is better now (i use FLEX at the moment). When i get "mitre mizz" , will buy makita just for it :hurray:. I'm a "mitre gangster" :73:

He's a wise man then. I swear by mine. Just a poor on/off switch lets them down. Dead man paddle is better.

I'm pretty sure this was the one we used today - it's a polisher/grinder - 2000rpm to 6800 rpm. Pretty much covers everything you need to do.

Where is the best place for these Makita's

been sniffing about, and all I can find is US sites......or bloody expensive UK stuff. Which comes as no surprise really.

bout time I treated myself to a new toy.....it's been far too long.

looking at the wet/dry machines btw

That's mine - 9565CVL
Best prices by far are from independant engineers merchants / indutrial power tool suppliers.
Service is better that way too.
Just try getting after-sales service from an ebay seller!!!

Stonetools are around £122.50 + vat.

Wet makita PW5000C = £241.89 + vat from the same supplier. This has a centre spindle feed which is what you want if you're looking wet.

Speed is only 2000-4000 rpm though.

I ought to add, that we've made the mitre tool with the facility to be used on a centre feed wet polisher.

Give these people a call, Fixings and Powertools Center Wesbsite

When I needed Flex stuff I could order it through them, plus they are a Festool dealer, which generally means they are catering for a certain level of powertool buyer.

You're both good.

I'll try to get these in Saturday mornings post so fingers crossed you have them Monday.

Please post how you get on on here, good or bad - there's no such thing as bad feedback, we like to call it constructive criticism! Although I've tested these I may have missed something that's obvious to you but I may never had thought of.

The third I'm sending to the guy who gave me this idea to start with - who is a member of this forum - He can out himself if he wishes!

I'll have more available I hope within a week, as soon as the new washers arrive I'll post that more are ready to go.

In the meantime Gary and Tony have chosen to be the crash test dummies!

Thanks guys.
