It is New Tool Tuesday! - New Tools Other Tilers Have Bought Recently

[Tony_C]

Not Tuesday and not new, but it's new to me. This came up for sale literally across the road from me so thought it would be silly to let the opportunity pass to snapping it up.

Gave it a quick wash down as it was fairly dirty. Missing the extension tray and side tray and a knob at the back to lock it in from 90/45/22.5 that I will eventually pick up but also not in a hurry to spend £100 on some plastic . Blade seems alright but I will be replacing that also some point soon. Anybody tried the ATS blade in this? It's all I use in my smaller wet cutter and can't fault it in that

I've used an ATS blade in my Dewalt and found it good....no chipping.
It could end up very messy and left with no water in your tray very quickly, without the other 2 pieces of plastic tray

have the ats blade in mine now for many years and have absolutely no complaints with how it proforms.

True I hadn't thought of it retaining the water for the pump more than just making less mess, I probably will just need to accept it and buy them sooner rather than later. I don't have any jobs lined up that I need it for immediately. Filter guard from the pump I will also need to get as I've spotted it's fallen off. More plastic to buy . Can't complain too much though as it was a cheap buy

I only ever used my dewalt pump sat in a bucket of clean water. If you do that, no need for a guard and no risk of chips snagging the pump or silt clogging the tubes.

Most review videos I watched seemed to use a fresh bucket like you are doing also @impish so I'll probably go down this route also.
I seen another video of a guy using 12mm backer board to make the sliding table level for pushing bigger tiles through also, seemed to work a treat

The missing filter guard seems to be a Dewalt achilles heel, mine went missing years ago.

I thought I’d finally jump on the bandwagon and give these Dia blades a try on a new Bosch

I had too many other blades to get through first
