Smithy Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I am just about to buy some new tools to use for laying natural stone and marble floors. As it is a lot of money to spend I obviously want to get quality stuff - can anyone recommend a good high power SDS (hammer) drill, an angle grinder 2300w plus with diamond disc, and a diamond disc tile cutter please?

carp Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 for a hammer drill I low the Bosch SDS, bulldog. I have put this through so much pain and torture and the thing just runs. I don't really clean my tools like I should and the thing just pounds through anything.Angle Grinder - Bosch. No I don't work for Bosch, but I do love these two tools. The grinder is the same way. I just think you get so much for the money. I had a hitachi angle grinder, and it sucked, just my opinion. I love the feel and the tool in gerneral is the Bosch.Hope this helps.

carp Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but I went out of town for thanksgiven. I use the BOSCH 1810PS. It ran about $110 when i bought it, but I just say it on Amazon for around $80. I really beat the S**t out this thing and it last. I saw Bosch had some other models that were not as expensive, not sure the difference. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Hey carp, just happen to stop by and say you were on. I agree with you , I love the Bosch. I had a dewalt and didn't like the feel, it was probably a good grinder, but I ended up trading it for a drill and went out and bought a Bosch grinder. I am not sure which model I have, its at a jobsite right now. I wouldn't recommend this, but I left it out over night and it sleeted and then snowed that night. Forgot about it and remebered a couple of days later. Brought it in and let it warm up. Believe it or not, I pluged it in, once it dried, and it worked. Didn't even get electricuted. Still like the Dewalt drill, but I will always go with a bosch grinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilecutter Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Sigma tile cutters are the best tile cutters available. Don't even bother with any other tile cutter if you are pro. www.toolsfortile.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest KelvinPowerTools.com Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Hi,For a High Power SDS Drill we would recommend the Bosch SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Drill GBH2-26DRE.A good angle grinder (2500 watts) would be the Metabo Angle Grinder W25-230. Diamond blades are available from £15 upwards and may require to be matched to the material being cut. A ‘general purpose’ blade is not always the best solution. Please feel free to contact us for further advice.For a good diamond disc tile cutter we would recommend the Dewalt Tile Saw D2400.Hope this helps.
