[thompsonbrown]

I ordered this yesterday and it arrived first thing this morning its a makita grinder polisher from ATS I bought the sait velcro starter pack pads and a hand diamond pads for tidying cut edges I got a great deal and recommend ATS

Gary how many tools do you have?
Read one of your latest posts about buying a rubi wet cutter on gumtree, even though you have five.
The day you retire is the day selling your tools will make you a millionaire. :lol:

You can buy shrouds for grinders with a hose attachment...

Firstly thanks for your welcome, appreciate it.
Secondly 'Directbrandtools.com' sell a completely clear universal grinder shroud for £69.99 (I think)
not personally tried it but it looks good. I tried to find it on their website, but to no avail I'm afraid.
But here's their number tel:0207 736 7402
ask for Gary, he knows his stuff! I'm always in there, it's on the New Kings rd, Fulham, you can mention that Marc the tiler (yeah yeah I know!) give u their number. He's kool. And they do mail order.
Unless u've already found one of course

Oh yeah, I just bought Rubi TC180, great bit of kit. Compact, wet and dry, precise and factory standard cuts on porcelain & stone.
Personally I get on with it very well!

Makita 4ah twin kit, Sigma 10L and 2.2kva generator were the big stuff I've got over the last few months. Nothing else planned but gumtree is a killer for impulse tool buys. Raimondi Zoe 105 on it last week for £500 but a bit close to Christmas :lol:

Used this for the first time today.
great for blind people like me. Really good in a dimly lot bathroom.

it has a LED that illuminates the bubble.

HI every one, I’ am new at the forum but I’ am a bit of tool fetish. Last thing I bought was Dewalt 24000. It will be test tomorrow on the site with polished porcelain 600*600. I`ll let You know how it`s gone.

No need to let us know, we already know it'll perform amazingly, and you won't know why you struggled along for so long before getting it lol! Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the new buy mate

Bought a new laser today, Bosch GTL3.
Great piece of kit, should have invested in one a long time ago.

Set up a bathroom floor today in half the time that it would normally take me.

had one about 5 years now, like you say marvellous bit of kit. It will save you hours in setting out time. Great for big or small floors. If you do alot of floors this will be a great buy.

I don't know why I never invested in one of these years ago,
Well I do know why, I'm Scottish & I don't like to part with my hard earned cash!!!

Let me know how it goes?
Might ask Santa for one

Depends on how much light in the room. I only use mine for setting out, I transfer lines into marks on the floor then use a chalk line to place marks on the floor.
I do use it to tile to on smaller floors though.
