Regrout

[bugs183]

No probs Oli, i knew that! If all the joints are cracking on this job, it sounds a bit more serious than a regrout

I should probably stop telling potential new customers that ill do a cracking job when quoting...lol

Just my input here. We do a lot of tile replacements in restoring floors. So we initially started doing this we used to cut the grout with the fein machine and yes it is messy but found it painfully slow no control. Now it is not a problem the Exakt Saw Dc270 is perfect for it at first skeptical beacause it was a JML product at first. but with this saw you can set the depth so if you know the depth of the tile you are going to have no problems what so ever and the best thing when you attach the vac you have virtually zero dust and its quicker. I must admit the blade supplied with the saw is crap but I took a blade of the angle grinder and put that in it but now they have actually bought out a diamond blade.

Grout coloring is good have done a lot of it, but IMO should be as a last resort if possible.

Tony , interesting point about the blade change. Do you think that 2 blades could be fitted at the same time to widen the cutting kerf or maybe a mortar rake wheel which has a 7mm wide kerf ??

 

[MARBLE_TONY]

I have fitted two blades to it before and worked fine. The problem I could see with the mortor rake wheel is the casing at the bottom where the blade pokes through may need to be made wider but I love that idea and will order one tomorrow and try it. Love experimenting and coming up with new solutions for jobs.

Can you let me know how you get on, I may have a quarry floor regrout coming up soon.

 

[MARBLE_TONY]

I certainly will.

Just bumping some threads in the underfloor heating forum. You can now find and search for both electric underfloor heating and water underfloor heating threads. By the way, if you feel some of the threads you want to be seen at the top of the forum need to be bumped back, for the next month or so from now, feel free to do that. Although it's not usually something we allow, whilst we're going through this process of changing over forum software, we see the need for this to happen.
