Detail matters (even on hard to cut anti-slip tiles)

[Mike]

That looks like a great little tool, how does it cut out grout if the blade is not spinning round ?

I would make it your next buy mike

Marking and cutting tile as detailed as you have shown would take at least 5 mins, with fein, 30 seconds! Its one of the first tools i take on to every job and do all cutting in a oner, saves so much time Mike!

The blades are not cheap but as long as you avoid cutting through any screws by accident then they will last a while!

I got one when I started working for local kitchen company, having to cut around all the cornice was doing my head in.

sweetttttttttttttttttttttttttt ordered one this morning thanks guys , but do you think the detail looks better or is it just me

Cutting round that detail is so much work, use the fein to cut the bottom of architraves and you won't look back.

It oscillates mate, from low to high speeds, ( variable) good piece of kit, but it is good to be able to do it the old way. Power cuts, no power etc.

Why didn't you remove the kitchen plinths before the sbr was applied? you didn't tile up to them did you? ?

 

[tilerjason]

its not sbr, its arcylic bond and the customer only wanted to tile up to them as he bought a job lot of tiles , it took just over an hour to set out as he really didnt have enough tiles and i coulnt afford to break or miss cut any, he went and bought to the exact sq mtr , by the end of the job he had 1 tile left, lol

Yep, bit of cardboard, and a tile. One fein cut later, and the tile will slide under the architrave. Looks much better imho.
