mine

1 - coil-nailer , game changer for me. Time it saves. I remember days of ring nails and a hammer.

2 - grinder / sander , so good to sort floors out and saves rubbing down by hand.

3- bully stripper , another massive time saver.

just got a cordless breaker instead of a SDS drill. It’s a lot better.]]> 6 Wed, 04 Feb 2026 17:43:05 +0000 https://theflooringforum.com/threads/cordless-stapler.152763/ https://theflooringforum.com/threads/cordless-stapler.152763/ invalid@example.com (Paul webb) Paul webb Tue, 03 Feb 2026 17:31:45 +0000 https://theflooringforum.com/threads/anyone-got-or-tried-one-of-these.152761/ https://theflooringforum.com/threads/anyone-got-or-tried-one-of-these.152761/ invalid@example.com (Rugmunching) Rugmunching https://floormart.co.uk/collomix-wa...=fde42db22db4a8ffd30ec9db1703aa6d&fo_s=gplauk

Cutting precision is difficult,but achieved it.lining up with different angles on top of each other using gorilla super glue,is difficult. But achieved it.end result,not good enough, even 1-1.5mm out is not good enough.im convinced what everyone has said.maw boards are just the concept and not the answer.use your skill guys,much better results.]]> 7 Fri, 28 Nov 2025 19:03:43 +0000 https://theflooringforum.com/threads/turbo.152747/ https://theflooringforum.com/threads/turbo.152747/ invalid@example.com (Neilydun) Neilydun
Bought a new Turbo for the job. It really is a weapon

Here it is against the 30 year old machine.

To be fair, both machines are excellent.

just wondering what you guys think is the best grooving tool and grooving blades for Altro or any safety floor?

I’ve used a lot of various grooving tools and different blades such as the grooving bars and the U-shap blades for the speed grooved but they don’t last very long and I thing the p-shape grooved tends to gouge the Altro a lot.

I was looking at buying the Leister Groovy tool at £200, but it’s almost £50 just for 1...
