Marcrist PG850 Tile Drills - You used them? - TilersForums.com

[SteveyJ]

Right I'm fed up of getting real tough porcelain tiles and going through loads of diamond blades, so I'm thinking of biting the bullet and buying a Marcrist PG850 Tile Drill set!?!?!

Anyone used one, are they are good as all the talk, do they last a long time, and so hopefully pay alot of the cost is not buying as many bits and time drilling?

This is the stuff:

Looking forward to hearing your experiences!!!

These montolit ones would be better if you have the budget.... Watch this baby go and it's dry cutting too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwzqwkLiEQQ

why would they be better than marcrsit pg850?
do they cut more holes, last longer etc

Sorry ed I probably misworded that as I can't speak from experience but I think I've been swayed by using a DNA blade on my saw. Used to have a marcrist blade on old wet saw n didn't think it was much cop.

How much are they then? Who sells them, and like TF Ed says what sort off life is expected from them - the Marcrist is proper hard wearing,

Are they being dipped in water in that cup too?

hi steve
marcrist pg850 are top professional specialist equipment mate. they will last you a long time, no worries there. i have just bought the full pipe kit . i also used to use them prior to this new set. they claim to do 2800 holes.

heres a video of them

[video=youtube;kJOV1zA2VCU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJOV1zA2VCU[/video]

a mate of mine doesnt use the water bottle, (dont tell marcrist ;0) he dips them in water and uses a damp sponge around the bit when drilling (like 365 do)..hes had his for 5 years and they are still going strong. i personally would recommend that all day long.


marcrist blades are not bad, its just they are really designed for dry cutting according to marcrist, thats why the have the serrated rim as opposed to the continuous rim.

hope this helps a bit

Yeah saw that video and was well impressed, you never know how a product works until its on site as this is a sales video so thought Id hopefully find people who have got one and if it lasts and does what it says on the tin.

Thinking about buying the smaller bathroom kit but then adding a couple of extra bits to it, dont mind spending the money on tools if it works and saves time - never regretted buying any of my Rubi tools

5 yrs and 2800 holes that's got to be a worthy investment then. Can't argue with that.....And a damn site cheaper than the montolit set.
