The Testing Thread - Testing Tiling Tools and Procedures

[Protilers]

The drill test is coming up......got all the big batters participating........unfortunatly Gary.....365 drills has declined to participate (so we will buy one!)....so we have (so far)

1. Vitrex.....(the bit the sent me looks far more serious than I wanted TBH)
2. Bright Ideas
3. Forte (also the bit provided looks too serious!)
4. Tileasy (have not seen it yet!)

there are a couple more on the way.....and that will be the lot.....cant be drilling holes all night!!!!

best wishes

Any thoughts on how the test will take place. I would have thought a bench drill with a certain weight on the arm and the motor set at the same speed. It could be too easy to apply more pressure or speed with a hand drill ?? What you think ?

Oh and 365 drills is Richard

Oh and 365 drills is Richard

Hello Siramic...Richard DECLINED to participate.....FULLSTOP........and therfore we will purchase a drill bit and continue on.......

as for the test we will use random battery drills...(just as the general public would!).........and will will all drill at once.....each given a bit at random..........

all will be water cooled and we will look for quickest hole as well as how many holes.....then cost per hole.........hope this is clear!........
