Great new Mitre Box for tile trims!

[garretridge]

just to let you know i ordered one and it arrived and had to pay an extra £12 for postage at the post office so beware, but still worth it good bit of kit!

 

[woodie]

I like the look of that, have to find out if it's available in the UK:drool5:

I was in tilemarket in belfast this morning getting some mats and they sell them, near had it bought til the guy said it was 35 quid! looks a good bit of kit though, he said they have had them for months and haven't sold one yet! Bought a stanley one out of B&Q for 11 quid and it has a clamping system

If you do it properly, you will have to pay VAT when it comes in to the UK and possibly import duty (approx 4%)

So are going to look into stocking these then Dave

I already looked - we would have to take 3 pallets :yikes: the profit margin offered was not good, so far we will not be stocking. Also, we were asked to pay for a sample before ordering the 3 pallets which i thought was poor

I thought the profit margin wouldn't be a lot especially as you would have to take 3 pallets and pay for a sample. Thanks for trying though

Just picked up one of these direct from the Quansol website NZ. Just over £30 free delivery to UK and no extra costs from import/post office. Couple of places in UK do stock but they were more expensive on product and wanted a minimum of £10 for delivery! Free delivery from NZ...£10 UK uuummmm:mad2:

Let us know how you get on with it mate

 

[mags]

anyone tried this one.

Magic Mitre - The unique mitre box for cutting perfect mitre joints

That actually looks quite good, i like the fact that the angle measurer goes straigh onto the mitre box to save loads of adjusting.

i have been tiling for donkeys, and the greatest invention since the washboy is this:

the worlds best mitre box for tilers!

and i mean it, best thing since the washboy!

oops! i see someone has already posted this product!

 

[Olz]

LOL.... thats what this thread was originally about, TT tried to stock them but the profit wasnt there are the terms werent too good.

You can buy direct buy some people are being caught out on import tax.

 

[dagger]

there is a supplier in the uk that i got mine from, not sure if i should mention the name, so i wont but if you are in london or the surrounding, they are £30inc plus delivery!

pm me and i will give you the details!

i am a silly sod at times!

 

[tkm18]

Theres a place in Aberdeen that stocks them, cracking delivery aswell.

But, having used it a couple of times, can't say it's the Holy Grail.

 

[White Room]

I use a standard small mitre box for trims, put a piece of wood in the inside with about mil short either side of the sides, then push the trim which is held in the gap. If you see what I mean

 

[2Balls]

O yes ,but some people do like their gadgets. May be we need a gadget to do L-cuts . Goodnight and God bless. 2Balls:8:

 

[andy-p]

i have just got one from a supplier in perth and its worth every penny, you must get one trust me im a tiler !!

 

[faithhealer]

Quasol apparently do sell these in the uk now. Afer seeing the ad in the TSJ (bloody anoraks getting bigger) I phoned the no up, this girl said they would be 28 quid plus P+P of about 8 quid (or 8 or more for 20 quid (free P+P) but their website has them at 25 quid with free P+P!

Might be worth dave TT giving it another shot?

 

[Gazzer]

I discussed these with David today but he wont be bringing them in due to costs and quantities they want up front.

They must have come down in price, I paid about 35 quid a few months ago from the website:mad2:. Never mind was well worth the money IMO

 

[Sean fsy]

as any one ever suggested it could be the hacksaw blades folk use could be the problem, if people arent using a 32 tpi blade they are always going to have problems. the only problems i have in time is cutting through the block itself:mad2:

Bump

Don't mind me while I bump a few old threads. They might not be current for you, if they're not, just ignore them, and they'll soon drop off the forum list.
