Love seeing new tile tools to help my crappy tile work look better lol

[dfdrescue]

Any videos of you using these pads for actual polishing?

[franciscoluna]

As always, an excellent review of a product. I was lost looking for a kit like this online, but problem was solved here within minutes. Awesome!

[boppins]

would like to see the stone polished. and how would you get the shiny surface on the sides as well?

[smurray]

just wanted to make a comment for safety purposes, I bought the exact product mentioned here and used on my non-variable speed angle grinder, based on the OP's comment that he was using a regular grinder. The 5th time I used it, the rubber attachment for the polishing pads explosively failed and threw itself at very high speed across the room, along with the small tile I was working on. I don't know if the rubber attachment was defective, or if it was a result of mis-use since I was using a standard, non-variable speed angle grinder, but be very cautious.

I had to do exactly that last week to create an outside 45°. Used my wet polisher dry. Pickiest customer ever. Next time I will charge accordingly

[bobpond]

What is the maximum speed at which these should be used ? I have seen multiple reviews suggesting that such a pollishing system should NOT be used with a fixed speed grinder (typically > 10, 000 rpm).

Hi Sir I have a question. My porcelain floor tiles has smudges maybe from foot traffic, can i polished it using this polishing pads to make it shiny again? Also do i need to put something after polishing? Thank you

It’s hilarious to me how a review can be so poor… Here, let me show how this one disc bevels and edge I hold the tile up to the camera for a millisecond so you can see how great it did. I’ll do a similar task on a different tile. Wow, look how awesome. What do you mean it’s blurry? Pay no attention to the other discs in the box. All you ever need to do is grind down and edge 🙄 This is a great set, take my word for it. I know none of you came here to see the product actually do something productive.

… so poor, yet so many people say it’s a great video. I wonder if they saw a different video than I did?

[mattmason]

Nice. I do stonework. I like to put each pad on a backer pad so I'm not ripping them on and off.

[texascrossbowdude]

thank you for all the videos you do for us, appreciate you. do you make the cut just a hair wider knowing it's going to be rubbed out?

[CRyan]

Can you explain the difference between polishing pads and sanding pads? I am interested to know how polishing pads sanded down the cut. I lay porcelain slabs outdoors and looking for the best pads for sanding the chipped cuts.

[danbartstow]

I use PVA pads for tile and soft stone like Travertine….Cheap and easy dry polishing….Alpha tools sells them…

[frankblack]

Don’t use these dry pads for engineered stone! Reason is the stone uses a plastic binder that the dry pads melt. The result is a dirty gunky smear across your cut edge. This is not, in my experience, a problem for the coarser grits (400 max) but 800, 1500 and 3, 000 cause the problem.

Either use the pads wet and tuned between passes or forget them and use wet/dry paper.

During demonstration u did not use gloves, face shield, your grinder no have safety cover over disc.no have side handle, when ever u want to chang disc please disconnect it first.

[Nettle]

Nice! I have very similar pads, but I only have a random orbital sander, will it work? Cheers!

[freddieleethompson]

I get everything except why I need a variable speed grinder. Could you explain for me please. Thanks.

[leviaberle]

manufacturer says max 4000 rpm. Grinders are way faster than that.. any issues?

[billbaillie]

Earmuff brand, noise canceling I assume?

[kade]

Do you prefer the foam back hand pads or this style for cleaning cut edges better? Thanks!
