New cutting discs from Ats

It was the 150mm, so the 160mm is alot better? I don;t do much cutting but its nice to have the option.

Yes the 160mm is a lot better, we have a couple of Bushboard customers who process the product on CNC equipment, but they still need to cut to size with a Festool TS55. They won't touch the 150mm blade.

The only reason we still offer the 150mm for this application is at Bushboards request.

I don't think you sold the 160mm blade when I bought the 150mm. Was a few months ago.

Thanks Paul, the Mistral is what we expected but it's good to get it confirmed.

I'm very pleased with the result in porcelain though, that could prove very useful for the large format porcelains that are becoming popular. Particularly where you need to create accurate "L" shape cuts and square cuts in the centre of the tile.

What isn't clear is if there is an acceptable level of breakout or chipping in the porcelain? That looks like a hard honed floor tile. The real tell tale will be a polished wall or floor porcelain.

Next time you've got a polished porcelain would you mind running the 160mm blade through it in your plunge saw and see it if produces an acceptable finish please?

will try some next week.
Do you do a continuous rim blade that will fit the makita?

That's possible, we were still testing the 160mm version in the summer.

We could fit a reducing ring on the 150mm con rim porcelain blade that would fit fine.
