    Which variable speed grinder out of these? Does higher speed mean better cut?

    I'm after a 125mm variable speed grinder. I was going to go for the £150 Metabo at the bottom of the list, because I think the 2000rpm lowest speed would be more useful polishing at least, but it only goes to 7600rpm max. Does that mean a poor cut? Am I better sacrificing the lowest speed...

    Anyone got a v-tuf vacuum?

    Anyone have one of the v-tuff vacuums? I'm looking at the mini plus one. They're seriously lacking in reviews but I need to buy a new vac, price looks ok and M-class, but the suction power is a little lower at 180mbar than the usual suspects which have circa 240, so wondering really if may...

    3 or 2 roller Karl Dahm?

    Finally getting round to ordering one to make grouting quicker but why (!!!) are there two versions; one with 2 rollers and one with 3? Which should I order? Not sure if I'm missing something but seems a pointless choice.

    Do you put tanking kit straight onto Aquapanel?

    Read in some other forum that some people skim the Aquapanel with tile adhesive then paint the tanking paste on. I've ot one of the Mapei tanking kits to tank a shower area. Thought you could just paint it onto the Aquapanel initially.

    Best reasonably priced mixer?

    Just bought a Rubimix 9 240v but sent it back as it actually struggled and laboured mixing standard tile adhesive and was so so loud. Anything else at around £90 to £150 that'll be better? Im not using it daily. Once a week at most. But would like something that will last.
