Hope they were cheap Paul?
The flush cut and little bronze blade are kool actually.
The pads, 100% you must wear a mask when using, the dut from them is a killer!
Don’t know green blade.

Ummm.... yes they were cheap..... sooooo cheap i didn't even notice the money leave my bank account... however I am now in debt to the rubi rep and his boss for a favour or two.

Green blade is just a basic for ceramic. going to test it on some other stuff just to see what happens... bronze one is rubi's answer to the ATS EP grinding disc. ECD also testing on various materials though looks like it will tear marble to shreds, and the pads I am doing a comparison to the ATS dry pads and the Sait pads. Sait are definitely the best for marble although they don't give as high polished finish as the tile face. Only way I can get that at the moment is with a 6000 wet pad, but I can't be arsed with the wet and mess. so hopefully the rubi will come up trumps.

Doesn’t matter what you use, you’ll never recreate a polished stone as well as a factory piece.
Can’t be done.
Not unless you have access to hundreds of gallons of water and many many tons of pressure.
You can polish for sure, but you can’t get that lustre.

I’ve used the flush cut to polish mitres on Porcelthin, works well. The VDF bronze blade will work also.

Antonio, you must report about tutorcut!

Antonio, you must report about tutorcut!

I used the tutorcut last week, makes life easier and it keeps the blade at 90*. I only used it for a few short cuts but will be using it a lot in the next few weeks

Kool. Interesting to know.
My worry is that as it’s a perfect 90 degrees is that as the blade cutting face comes back around it’ll chip the cut edge behind you.
I tend to ever so slightly undercut when I use a grinder.
I noticed the Montolit STL blades chipped at 90 degrees.

Totally 100% with you Marc. It's a tiny thing but the cause of SO many headaches when the face chips. Undercut every time.
