Profiling wheels and bull nosing bits .

[paulgalindo]

the grinder is beyond you mostly used for fabrication in the slab shops, stay dry 50 grit to 3000 diamond pads 200 dollars in America, you have more control with a variable speed polisher 4" the hardest ones to do perfect are absolute black granite, other granite shades are fine, practise with limestone it's easier and you can get away with 50 to 800 any questions let me know

paul,im a bit lost as to what you mean,do you mean you dont rate the grinder attachment?

 

[paulgalindo]

no dont get me wrong its a beautiful tool but it still requires that you polish it once it goes through. everything in my pic section is with a variable polisher 50 to 3000 grit and still pulled it off with 50 to 800 dry on marble, cake on travertine and the like you cant fade the polish line with the grinder and the cup wheel good if you leave the line and make skirting and if you still dont polish it there will be 2 diffirent aparent shades you can get away with a lithilian wet look sealer, but how pro is hiding things when it fades, stay dry! clients love it 2 bad its not getting me any work chioces people make:incazzato:

most polishing pads will burn if they are run over 2500 rpm. var. speed grinder is a must flex is the best then mikita. can't profile without ploishing after!

[Scott]

Did this ever go any further?

 

[DHTiling]

I left it with Trade tiler and not heard anything back yet..

But i do know of suppliers for them if needed.. and i couple vids on Utube if you need them, any other info just ask..

 

[Scott]

I had a look at the links in this thread but what are they attaching them too?

Im possibly going to use it on Turek Diana Royal, or Vanilla Creme/Cream as TG call it. Does stone work similar to wood in it goes better across the grain than with?

 

[doug boardley]

could do with some for next week in scotland, polished marble and limestone bathrooms to completely redo!

 

[DHTiling]

Needs to be a variable speed grinder or a polisher machine.. m14 thread.

 

[Scott]

Is that the standard thread on a 4" grinder
