Yes its this sort of feedback that helps us refine the product range.
My personal view is that the 6mm is not as robust at the 8mm when used on very hard material like granite and porcelain. 8mm wins simply because there is more guts to the drill and more diamond.
As a retailer I have a conflict. The market demands 6mm so of course we have to supply the best that we can.
The 6mm actually work really really well on glass, marble, travertine etc so there is a market for 6mm. I am looking at the BFKMX and removing 6mm but everytime we do that about 50% of our survey say to keep it in.
The jury is out on 6mm when used on tough porcelain. For now it stays as part of the BFKMX kits. I have put a comment on the website to say that we recommend the 8mm where possible.
If customers do use 6mm please bear in mind the advice not to apply pressure to the tips. And yes there is a mild chance of bending the 6mm as it pushes out of the back of the tile and gets caught. The 8mm is too strong to bend.
Thanks for approaching us on stand. We take the views of customers seriously. These next few months are important ones for us as we finally bring the kits to the retail market.
