grinder..

[Mr Tiler]

Ash move the bloody guard lol,they are adjustable.

lol mate believe me I tried the tiler I did a little work with had exactly the same one too and his guard sat nice so you could see... but I honestly preffer a grinder if im honest I preffer to just tap the tile that takes the dust off it rather than get a rag and wipe it down too 😉

 

[Mr Tiler]

Have you tried tightening the nut? I don't know the cutter you're talking about, but most can be tightened... Although, maybe that's wishful thinking with a £33 cutter lol!

yes that's how it seems mate, but I couldn't do it I did try for ages then gave up... took the blade out and put it in me grinder 😉

Better cut with a wet cutter more control etc ,takes seconds to wipe down and usually quicker than a grinder.

I think this is an 'each to there own' one matey, maybe il grow to like them when I can afford a good one no doubt and would really love to test some stone on a sexy bridge saw lol especially the bull nosing

 

[Gazzer]

well at least nobody can nock me for not knowing lol

Actually yes I can , You cant seriously price a job if you dont know what you are using. Had the given you a stone tile would you have felt the same ?

gonna need to get to grips with a wet cutter Ash, there'll be many occasion when a grinder just will not be a viable option. Better off getting used to a table cutter now, and it takes an enormous amount practise to run a grinder perfectly down a pencil line. Until u can confidently split a pencil line in half u can't profess to be able to use one! :smiley2: which side do u have cutting blade when u use grinder Ash? On your left or right?

Neale I don't mean any disrespect but with the amount of years experience you have over me you had to go to a tile shop and ask what type of tile it was. i would price porc the exact same as ceramic and stone doesn't even need to come into this i can tell the difference and at this moment in time i would simply turn down a stone job so i don't need to worry about pricing for it atm

 

[Mr Tiler]

oh which side of the line? lol it doesn't matter which side of the line it is but it is always on the opposite side to the piece of tile i will be using to ensure i don't go too deep and stick to the mark.
