Does everyone use the guillotine for installing these products?.Is so then what happens when you say install a border in plank then run at 45 deg off the border?.Iam thinking that you could clean cut two sides with the cutter so what happens when slotting in the last lot of planks or tiles?.If you hand cut to finalise then you have two sides clean and two that are gonna be slightly different? am i right in thinking this?.Hope iam making sense on this cheers.
not sure i fully understand what your saying, but if using a gilly then you will fit the field first. You will duplicate all your cuts in one go. Then install the boarder and then hand cut into the wall. If you mean can you basically cut a tile in half and then use each bit off the boarder, well the gilly cuts the tile at a slight angle so you will need to spin the tile around and recut the edge.
my bit or bladerunners? If its my bit you dont understand when i talk about the angle , i mean the blade the itself cuts the tile edge at a slight angle. So if you was to put the tile on the floor one edge will lean into the base of the tile and the other cut tile will lean the other way. Does that make sence? this picture might help. Can you see where im trimming an angle into the backing of the tile? The guilly does this for you but its left on the other half of the tile
Got it cheers for the info it means that you cant use the gilly unless you field out first am i right? thanks.
you can use the gilly for what you want but it works best for tile lvt boarder work doing the center first. Its something you need to be shown to be honest. If all goes well with the forum i will be holding a open day where you can visit a training center that i and a couple of people off here will be doing a few demos. You are welcome to pop along and see these tools in action and have some hands on. Thats many months away yet tho!
its one of those tools that you dont need. But after you have used it, well you will wonder how you managed before! They are really good for tile with boarder and also really good for cutting the feature strip. You will be alot faster with one. O and you can cut a sliver the thickness of paper off the edge of a tile.
Mr Evans its worth buying the big one and not the small one as with the small one you can't fit a 12 inch tile in it point to point if you're cutting on the 45.
Cheers mate I gather size matters! I'm looking at the 24 inch gundlach one or the magnum 20 inch just can't decide and there's a big price difference between the 2
