Grinder for polishing - Tile Advice

[acaciaguy]

Thank you for that. Food for thought to decide which one to get.

The wet polisher electrical parts are protected from water ingress much more than a dry one less likely to electrocute yourself

That’s a positive wet polisher is powerful enough to do what a grinder could do sanding edge / polishing wise and more?

Only reason I have a wet polisher now is for refurbishment work on entire floors, worktops etc mostly use dry pads nowadays for the day to day stuff and unless I can’t get outside to cut, grind or polish, most decent makes are designed powerful enough for purpose

What wet polisher to you have callatiler? Do you use a variable grinder as well?

Standard

Brill thank you. Might start with a variable grinder or the cheaper flex and if I do more stone move up when needed

 

[Blunt Tool]

I only use polisher for polishing, never try and use it as a standard grinder, never use it dry. Variable dry grinder would suit your needs more I think

 

[acaciaguy]

Thank you for that callatiler. It’s a good call I think

 

[acaciaguy]

Other than the one you mentioned earlier and good finishing grade pads etc you can recommend.

@Pro Tiler Tools do a kit, as does @ATSDiamondTools both will supply the standard dry kit of which you can build on. You will find you use more of one grade than any other thus you only need to replace them to keep kit update. You can and I’m sure others will suggest going online and sourcing from Far East but it’s a lottery as to if it’s any good

Get yourself a variety of grades pack of Sait sanding pads aswell. They in my opinion are better than diamonds pads for shaping and refining stone.

 

[acaciaguy]

Thank you. I will have a look at those and get the Bosch grinder. I can the have a play around with the tiles in my own bathroom at my leasure. Best place to get sait?
