Oi Oi Andy,
Yeah all my ex-large format gear presently is sigma.
Oh and a Montolit Super Profiler, which is up for sale.

Hi mark
Hope your well pal?
Im looking at replacing my wetcutters with this setup what do you think?

 

[Andy Tiler]

Its not easy to use this platform lol
Can you not post links ?

 

[Old Mod]

I have Andy, that’s exactly what I’ve done.
Blade choice for the Kera Flex can be challenging at times depending on the material, but I’ve always managed to find something suitable.

 

[Old Mod]

Yes of course you can mate, just copy and paste, just like anywhere else.

 

[Andy Tiler]

OK great.. i don't do the large porcelain biggest 1200 would it still work for the smaller format?

 

[Andy Tiler]

I've just bought a cordless grinder so hoping that will be better without the wires? Its got an m14 thread I've got Lee Carr popping over in the new year to show us the keracut

 

[Old Mod]

The Kera cut comes in two sizes mate, 2.1m and 1.6m
So maybe the smaller size would suit more. I’d suggest getting the extendable version tho rather than fixed, you never know what’s around the corner. Also get the sigma heavy breaker (£40) probably the best heavy breaker out there currently

Have you tried the Markrist AkKumax blade?
Specifically designed for cordless, been one of my favourite blades of late.

 

[Andy Tiler]

Didnt know there was an extendable option? Does it set up OK in domestic properties not to bulky?

 

[Old Mod]

No, it sets up anywhere mate, not bulky at all for what it is. Extremely well engineered and slots together by way of a very heavy hexagonal joining bar in the centre. Very robust indeed.

Is there any reason you can’t just use the grinder free hand Andy if your not doing x large format ?

 

[Andy Tiler]

Hi Andy
Yes mate its dust extraction i like so i can set up where I am working? And it has a rail to follow which seems simple to manouver

Hi JC
Can you just use you sigma keracut/keraflex or do you need wet and dry cutters

Marc your man getting above my pay grade

Marc your man getting above my pay grade

OK no probs just getting as much feedback as I can

I get where you are coming from with this as I have a sigma 3e3m 1260 long cutter and to be honest putting 1000 x 1000 or 1200 x 1200 into it isn't easy and I think it would be far easier to plonk a kerracut down on top of a tile .
