The Profilers arrived today.

But, (there's always a but isn't there!) There is a small inexpensive but very important piece missing - the guide washer in between the cutting head and the plastic guide. This will run along the 1mm good edge of the work piece and stop the tool cutting too deep.

I'm getting some run up so they can be fitted.

Of course the tool could still be used by simply clamping a batten to the tile and using the plastic guide as a depth stop as the appropriate size.

I'd prefer to have the complete and correct before any go out though.

Overall I'm pretty happy with how they've come out from an idea only a few weeks ago.

I'll update as soon as I have a solution for the depth stop and will then be able to send the first ones out.
 
Looking good. Could have used it last week, the DW250 is hopeless at mitres.

Frustrating waiting for them, all I need are a few washers and they are ready to go.

It's a new item, it's worrying if it turns up without at least one minor teething issue or you think you've forgotten something!
 
Reserved list (including anyone who expressed an interest earlier in the thread).

It looks like I need to up the order already.

Probably have them ready to go first week of December.

We had to re make some components and I don't want these going out until they are right, they will operate at around 10,000rpm so need to be spot on. I figure we're still safely on target to get out before the mitre whiz :smilewinkgrin:
 
Looking forward to the test results.......but may jump on the bandwagon too and pop myself on the list!
