Tilers spirit levels?? - Tile Advice

[Kyle Knowles]

A lazer pays for itself very quickly with the amount of time it saves. I also take it when pricing floors, it takes seconds to check how flat a floor is and whether I need to use slc or allow for an extra couple of bags of adhesive

Also great for leveling floors I set mine up.on the floor and get a long rat bit holder in my drill and making tape it then put a line at the level point then drive screws into the floor to give hight pegs to pour the slc ...
I hope that makes sense ?

These can be got even cheaper than this, they are red a laser, I still use one, I'm buying one like @3_fall has (a green one) in the next few weeks. I promise you Andy you'll never look back

mine will be here tomorrow

I'm in the shopping mood now time to update my laser I just can't decide what to get, any info on the best one to buy

So when your in a bathroom setting out the room, do you put the laser in a corner on a tripod or screwed to a wall? Then leave it on all day?
When your setting out a floor with it, do you just plonk it on the floor?
How do you use it to survey the flatness of a floor ?

Set ur laser up and use a staff or stick with a line marked on it lining up with the laser beam and walk round the floor with the stick putting it to the floor where ever the mark is lower that said beam is a low spot and where ever it's higher than the beam is a hight spot .. is that clear I'm not the best at explainin stuff by text

I have a 10 inch bit holder for my drill that I do the same process but drivin screws into the floor so all the heads are the hight I want my slc pouring to

Depends on which laser and which way you use it, I screw mine to the wall and set out off that then move it to check for plumb,when using a floor laser o set mine out down my line then either tile to it or set straight edge to that and use it to check my lines as I go. As for surveying, I put mine on the my little tripod, mark the laser line on a Barton or level held up right and move it around the floor and check the pencil mark to the laser line

 

[Flintstone]

So the laser pattern that they send off isn't a thin line it's like a fan pattern if that makes sense so shining it over a room, it will be always On your legs where ever your stood?

 

[Ttt1601]

Yea it depends on which one you have the one 3 }fall has is best and I will be getting one soon it does 360 degrees round the room, mine only does 180 ish hence why I have it against a wall, but that horizontal line is constant and then there is one that is vertical as well

The best floor laser is the PLS FT90


It has four beams and is made of cast metal, totally worth its weight. And it weighs a lot.

@Pro Tiler Tools have a flex floor laser which is identical. We all know Flex tools are excellent. Have no reason to believe this is any less than the PLS.

The only issues with using the laser to level floors is that u get asked to level floor for other floor coverings like bloody kahndean damn them taking my floors
