    I haven't got one, but it's something I've thought about getting, seems like it could be a decent purchase

    Available from Trade tiler...


    T5 Angle Finder


    Unique to Tradetiler

    Makes marking angled cuts easy.

    No mater what odd angle you have this tool transfers it across on to the tile to be cut. It is hard to explain so click on the 'How To Use' link to see some pictures.

    Diamond cuts take seconds to measure and cut, profile cuts.......I draw them with a pencil to match.

    Easy.

    I quite like the challange of doing an off the square check and the satisfaction of getting it to fit first time - none of this stencil or lining paper nonsense .

    Might be good for old tilers whos eyes arent the best any more.

    i bought something similar from screwfix a few years back and feel that is pretty useless. A sliding bevel or just scribing can do the exact same thing faster.

    ideal for new tilers, but i prefer to measure/bevel/scribe...makes you think a little bit more about the job too, which improves your skill.
