FLEX Polisher Grinder with Dust Extraction. - Tile Advice

[Concrete guy]

We've been asked a number of times for a machine that can be used for Polishing/light grinding that has a dust extraction shroud.

We now stock the Flex SE 14-2 125 SET 230v.

Like the shroud, better than my Bocsh one which I needed to make adjustments to get it to stay on.

Would it work cutting tiles Allan?

No it wouldn't, it's a shroud designed for the machine being used as a polisher/surface grinder (in the orientation pictured or held against a vertical wall).

The shrouds for cutting really aren't very effective and so far all the ones I've looked at are a bit Heath Robinson.

Plus this machine has a speed range of 600 - 2100 rpm so it's not really designed for cutting.

It's the kind of thing you'd use to remove localised lumps and bumps on a wall or in a floor screed. Or polish the edges of floor after doing the main area with a large rotary machine.

Just jumping in here. I got my catalogue today, many thanks Alan. I now want to spend lots of money......

110?

Not at the moment, however there is a 110v 125mm polisher/grinder with dust extraction in the pipeline.

They currently produce a machine at 115mm but it's too small, it needs to be a 5" machine and they are responding to requests for one.

That is cheap.

It's from Germany though, meaning you'll need to re plug it, which I think voids the warranty but I'll need to check with our Flex rep.

i have some car polishing gear (the make is festool) that's half the price but it doesn't come with the extraction gear because polishing cars isn't messy.
