Hi all, im after a tile router, iv seen some work were another tiler has used one and it looks the nuts, now i want one but no nothing about them.
Any info would be grate.

what are you wanting to do..?..some sort of profiling...

I want to put a bullnose on the edge of some travertine. im looking for a uk supplier, there is one on ebay in the states.

You just need a profiling bit to go in a grinder...bit like a router bit but for profiling stone etc..

Like this but you can get them that do it dry..

hmmmm I'd like one of those wet or dry,

is that an attachment in a standard grinder?

That ones not stan..it's in a variable speed polisher........but you can get them for grinders as well...

This is the type i mean and have an m14 thread for grinders etc..

Harbro Supplies Limited

then you finish the profiles off with wet and dry to get the polish if required..

thx Dave - expensive! ... is there a cheaper one out there for grinders that will cut a 45 degree for birds beak or masons mitre with some sort of jig to get a standard cut depth along the length of the edge?

Can you not do them on your wetsaw..?

never tried, but i will now, i cant see how to keep that little flat edge at the end to stop the mitre being a sharp edge. I thought the grinder idea could be jigged to maybe do that.

It is getting a bit that will cut a 45 champher.. my bridge saw will cut bird mouths no probs and the mason mitre is do-able as well if i raise the blade up and score cut..

if you've had to mitre a sharp edge Stan, just flip your blade back to 90dgs and take the burrs off

Dave and Doug - many thx for your replies, is something I've never had to do for a job, but something i played with. I will have another go when i get the time.
I can see Dougs very obvios suggestion working, i thought there might be some sexy way of making one straight pass through a tool to get that constant little flat edge. I guess as always practice makes perfect - and Im about 3000 miles behind you guys!
... as always - thx for your advice.

No probs...
