Mitre Wiz

[J Sid]

you'll have to let us know how it goes.
local lad has just got one and not tried it yet. He is very concerned that it will chip the tile face because you have to pull it with blade cutting up though biscuit to face as opposed to if you (me) did it free hand the cut is down though face then biscuit.

How's it mounted then julian. Looking at an image earlier, I thought it was travelling in right direction. I'll have to check now haha

I've had a go with Sigma's version.
Not cheap because it is WAY more effective than the mitre wiz.

It really does work very well on porcelain and the new version takes any grinder, not just the Bosch.

The problem with the mitre wiz is you need a 100mm grinder and blade. I got one a while back shipped from down under, by the same firm that now owns Homebase. Burnings Warehouse their called. But its in still in its packaging as I can't find a blade to suit 100mm grinder. The grinders can be bought from the likes of machine mart for £60. Shame. 🙁😡

I've seen the trend now,
always stand by my opinion, I do not understand the usefulness of this tool.
I could be wrong .... but ...
I think that the level of the cut finish, will never be like a scoring wheel.
the risk of breaking it seems higher.
you have to make two passes with grinder? or a single cut?
because more passages, it means lower level of finish.
single pass, for better finish level, but greater risk of breakage.
Explain, I have an open mind about these things.

Well Gary and I bought the first one that came in the uk a year ago, but we wanted it for thin tiles.
At the time we were unaware that they did different grade profile wheels. Grrr
so we struggled and shelved it.
I've had a wheel on order now since mid December and stil waiting.
It's currently in bits in the workshop, awaiting the parts.
How many passes does it take to get the finish you want?
