Very nice

I’ve not bought a new tool this year! Hole cutters for grinder are gonna be my next buy. Are they all the same in terms of cut quality and durability ?

I use the Rubi ones as I don't have a lot of choice here and they're really good. Fast, clean and last quite a while.

the best ones I used are the sigma
the model of the photo,
the problem is that they cost 1,5 times the montolits,
But they last long.
sankyo is the first time I use them.
but I have many hopes of the Japanese.

Durability is way above normal if used correctly.
If you’re to leave a finished hole with no shroud or something covering it, they can be unforgiving, usually more so on a polished surface.

Something to start my week with a smile, a new dust extractor.
Ok so I know it’s not Tuesday, but I might be busy tomorrow.

Getting so heavily involved in large formats these days I’m having to continually improve my kit to cope with the extra demands that it brings
Like mitring these large pieces.
Mitring smaller formats is not too messy and is relatively quick, a 2.4m long piece however is a different story.
Bare with me, I’m trying to justify the outlay.
But what I’ve found is that the level of dust generated is immense and it’s starting to ruin me (even with a respirator) and my kit.
So I took the plunge and dug deep, the result?
This.
Twin motor Optim 120 M class dust extractor with 50mm hose, pre separator and 65litres capacity wet or dry.
Used it today, and what a difference it makes to have proper dust extraction, and only needed to use one motor to cope with the dust generated whilst mitring.
It also means that I can run two pieces of kit at the same time while maintaining a dust free environment.
I’ve already noticed a huge difference, my work area is now totally dust free, and I don’t need to clean my glasses every 10 mins from the inevitable lingering airborne dust particles.
Enough waffle, I’m comfortable with the expense now.

Do you just use that with a grinder shroud with hose attement Marc? If so do you not find it harder to mitred with the hose attached, ie is pulls the grinder slightly over with the hose?

That looks like a serious piece of kit Marc, nice
