Maybe, not give it a great deal of attention since Kyle, not had the time mate.
I just bought a seriously cheap set up to butcher and play with. Potential is definitely there.
But it's no longer an original idea, Montolit saw to that haha

I've been electrocuted doing the sponge thing

Really? Wow, not heard that before.
Guess I won't be posting that again then

Not a jolt as such but a constant currant. So much so that I had to put rubber gloves on to continue the day

What a prat ...... I never thought I could just wacky a blade in my variable speed polisher and there's no chance of a shock

Is that just badly punctuated Kyle?
You're calling yourself a prat I assume?

What wet polisher do you have kyle, does it have a cowl?

 

[Kyle Knowles]

It's nothing fancy it's a cheapo off eBay but yeah it has a spray guard and a water feed already

Or what about the rubi wet/dry tile circular saw? Or even dewalt make a little hand held wet saw

You mean the TC180, What about it?
Sorry don't follow.

I'm just wondering why the wet sponge and grinder when there's water fed hand saws on the market and the rubi has a rail system and fits the festool rail also

Because Kyle, who wants to spend a fortune on a water fed system and have to mess about running pipes all over and have the inconvenience of that, when you can just use a wet sponge with great results

Yep can just see me using that delicate piece of equipment on a thin tile. Haha

Typically, actual wet saws won't cut thin tile, it destroys the edges, their operating speed is too slow.

I'd be really interested to see a Porcel-thin cut on a Sigma 10m9 or a Raimondi GS86.
Both top quality wet saws - high speed and zero wobble.
