Looks like a real nice bit of kit. I think the main difference your having to most is your working indoors more from what i have seen with your cutting tiles, you can’t nip out and mitre a 2.4 like I can with a 600x300. Well worth having.

Bare with me, I’m trying to justify the outlay.

Don't worry, we're not your wife, or are you just practicing your speech?

That looks like a serious piece of kit Marc, nice

It’s bloody marvellous Lee.
It’ll cope with a full blown floor grinder too.

Nice bit of kit, how often had the filters got to be changed

That’s actually very true Andy.

It’s something I need to check on Adey, @£100+vat for the big Teflon Star filter, hopefully no more than once a year haha

Do you just use that with a grinder shroud with hose attement Marc? If so do you not find it harder to mitred with the hose attached, ie is pulls the grinder slightly over with the hose?

What sort of shroud are you talking about Tom?

I was thinking of getting some new sponges - but that just showed up my purchases.

Oh ok, that’s a cutting shroud, get very minimal dust when I undercut the tile TOM cos I usually use a wet sponge when cutting, it’s more the polishing that generates tons of dust.
I never tried using that type of shroud to polish, have you?

Yea I did wonder about that, as I know you use a sponge, no I can't say that I have, but I have duct taped the hose of the Hoover to the grinder to catch most it which if positioned right gets a fair bit of the dust, just using a Henry, but a deeper version of that shroud, could work nicely, on another note, I've just started using pads from rightlines, for working the back of my mitres, they seem to be lasting longer than the ones I had from ats last time, about 30 linear meters worth out of it so far on hard as, 10mm porc and it's still not even half way worn yet, dunno what you are using atm, it's just a heads up mate
