hoping someone on here will have a lochboy and hammer for sale.
please pm with any info.

i got one i never used. i've p.m. 'd you

failing the offer I think that Trade Tiler do them ?

why not just get a set of drill bits from 365 drills?

i will do eventually. trying to build a good tool kit on a tight budget. I am only working with ceramics at the moment and the lock boy will be sufficant for what i need it for. it was all we could use when i did my training at college last year and i am quite used to using one.
hopefully i will make some decent money over next few weeks and give 365 a call. and get washboy. i am a right magpie!

If you get a washboy get a karl dahm one..

I'll second the KD wash boy, look after it and it will last you years.

Pin hammer ok - clamp looks like it's from the wifes secret drawer under the bed!

lol...

Lochboys a good fall back if you have no cores left.

Same as others for a washboy, Karl Dahm. i have looked after mine & its still like new, its about 5 years old now & still going strong.

I used to teach cutting a single socket whole out of a 6" ceramic using a lochboy. Used to take ages though. But it gave the students a good feel for ceramics - what they can take and what they cant. Hardly sold any though afterwards so I'm sure they used to just get core drills lol

After buying mine I tried it on a few tiles and broke them all, its been sat in the back of the van since. Core drills all the way for me

I first used these in Germany, then bought one from Dural. Used it a few times with great success, until I showed it to a few tiler friends, sure enough like Mike, I broke everyone. I always thought I worked better with an audience.

cheers mike for the loch boy. not used it on a job yet but had a little mess with some 15x15s and 20x10s seeing how far i could get out of it. got to about 15mm from the edge then crack .
i will put it to good use so thanks again.
