So for quite some time now my weapon of choice for re-fabricating tile edges and finishing mitred has been one of these.

A 120# metal disc, great bits of kit.
Recently the supplier stopped selling them and finding a replacement was impossible.
I pestered a few companies to get them in, but to no avail.
After making an 'off the cuff' remark one day,
Alan from @ATSDiamondTools said he had an idea.
That idea was one of these.

So now they are available again and I for one, am very happy, trying to find an alternative was driving me round the twist!

Thanks Alan. :)

It is a sanding disc mate. :) Just a metal one.

You can use it to re finish edges Andy, or grind down a mill or two if a piece is cut too large or you need to scribe a tile in.
Can't really say much more, but you know when you need to nip off just that little nib off a corner, now you don't need to, you can polish it off!

That's very weird, I ordered one of these on Sunday night, got home about half hour ago and it had arrived, I was coming on here to message you @3_fall to say it looks the same as the one you have. And saw This thread first!

Thanks very much for posting this thread Marc.

Questions. Did the disc bed in after a few runs, you metioned it was chipping a little straight out of the box? Or it was on the tile you were running it on at the time.

Whilst looking for an Electroplating factory that would make this for us we came across dozens of places that did vacuum brazed tools like the STL pictured above. We already have a product of this type which we sell as a Cut'n'Grind wheel but it is very aggressive indeed so we steered clear of them when looking for the grinding cup.

What uses is the STL marketed for? It's something I could see being very useful on natural stone but it's probably a bit too much for porcelain or ceramic.
