@@sergeihumann1299 i dont think i have had that problem. Are you pushing too hard or do you mean the track comes loose?

@porcelainpanelpro the track are not getting loose. Self saw is popping out of track. I have sigma weat cut that is on track also and I can use only 2 fingers by pushing that saw, the track is holding mashine in place. When rubi you have to hold the mashine almost perfect. Sigma is locking the mashine in to the track.

@@sergeihumann1299 ah. I know what you are saying now.

My pleasure. Make sure you mark the front and back on the drawing. I always get my mind confused when flipping the pieces around.

I expect either this 3rd quarter of 2024 or 4th quarter

@@sshingchan working with slabs is very difficult and not for the faint of heart. The tool works but often the slabs are the source of many headaches

@@SC-tb8wx yea tried out that style but for future videos gonna keep it straight boring

@porcelainpanelpro Some of the clips were good, I love the references but on an informational type of video, people appreciate the straightforward and clear way of communicating that you had with not too much fluff

which brand? That is the first I have heard. I have just begun working with special art glass panels so could be a concern for me.

Incorrect, you can find for $149. So when you add the cost of AA batteries and the cheaper build, tuffcup comes out ahead of the ottovac. But again, both companies are updating as we speak

@@porcelainpanelpro better price, still only available in the USA. Not sure but that possibly means Warranty is only valid in USA. When the time comes I will investigate more.

@@derekparent752 where are you based? Weha is a German brand.

@@porcelainpanelpro Canada, and I see there is only US sales in my neighborhood. Thank you for the replies.

@@derekparent752 my homeland! Sorry you cant get the good stuff.

@@derekparent752 2nd generation cups are coming out. These will be obsolete soon

@@flovaladez601 nope

perhaps I should shoot a new video...

Yes, they've updated their product after the batteries would burn up so quickly. The entire industry is switching to Lithium batteries. Second generation cups from Montolit, Weha, and Rubi are going to be phenomenal.

Yes it does

@@porcelainpanelpro thank you for replying so fast. I just ordered the saw after having the Rubi snapper track and I can’t figure out how the saw sits on the guide. I’m thinking I have the wrong guide?

Never mind I figured it out. I have gen 1 guides and bought the gen 2 saw.

@@Freshcheez its as if companies want to sell more than one unit…

@@porcelainpanelpro Lol they sent the wrong saw. It did not say anywhere it was gen2 and didn’t work with gen1 tracks (that I already had)

Ill need to research and double check. I feel like we were running at 90cfm, but if u go too high it will ruin components of both polishers and saws

Thanks!

Gotta keep the kids entertained

If it was too expensive i might suggest you raise your prices. These are the most affordable on the market

There is the new G3 (been out a year) and then the pro slim just received a face lift but not sure of availability date. Q3 probably

Thank you

Just another way to secure and stabilize the track

Had a conversation with Guiseppe at Montolit (head guy) and they want me to look over some new items. Ill ask Gundlach for pricing

Hopefully so. Going to look this morning at coverings

I just had a two month ordeal with 24x48 that would not cut for its lift. The tc125 again proved its value by step cutting and giving us clean cuts

The bridge saw we had on site could not handle well enough with standard electricity

Good point. This is a new build. Most outlets at the Contruction phase here are 15-20amp 110v

No such thing. More water the better to keep tools and material cool. If the tile heats up, thermal expansion occurs and it is prone to chip

Im sure it could but may not be recommended

@@porcelainpanelpro thx i'll stick with the grabo pro then large plywood sheet is my main use of it

I was in Houston when it began as employee 13 and left after two years to take a GM role in Raleigh. Now i am a managing partner of King Tile doing porcelain only installs and fabrication while trying to expand in a more cost conscious manner

@@porcelainpanelpro that is awesome congrats! I relocates from Miami to work at Moderno Denver and yesterday I moved from Denver to work with Moderno San Diego. Love your videos by the way, great job! Keep it up!

This was a special blade that is hard to come by. However, try the Rubi ECD 4.5” blade. Is a great option for everything we do

@@porcelainpanelpro thanks so much my friend. This morning I tried to use Rubi saw ( pretty new blade) to cut 47”x23” porcelain tile , but couldn’t cut it right , also tried to cut with grinder too, chips along the tile edge. Then Went to best tile store in Sanfrancisco, get the 6” katana blade for ( alpha track saw ) and 5” katana blade just made for porcelain- dry cut , brought it to the job site, tried the 5” on the Rubi , even tried it on battery dewalt grinder too with this new Japanese blade, still got chips . So disappointed, went back to floor decor , spent another $1800 something to get the Rubi DC 250-1200 wet saw , will try to cut this porcelain tile 24”x47” tomorrow. I will get the Rubi Blade that you suggested, and try it some day . Anyway, thanks so much for your answer, I really appreciate it .

@@HieuTran-iy3ui are you cutting miters or straight cuts? Straight cuts I’m cutting tiles like you and step cutting using ultra thin mesh. The katana is very aggressive and will lead to chipping. I always do a quick polish and roll over of my edges.

What material are you handling? Table and material has a lot to deal with. I recently had a polished slab project from a major supplier that went horrible. Slab was the culprit as their matte cut easily

Thank you

Glad it was helpful!

I love my mine!

I can remember in 2015/16 being able to tell where every private labeled slab came from. One of three factories. Now the market is getting option after option. Neolith, Dekton, Iris/Stonepeak all make great material. I would be wary of some small time private brands from granite distributors who have no idea what they are ordering in. They just know they need to have porcelain now. The next three years are going to be interesting.

@@porcelainpanelpro That’s awesome! Thank You sir.

Ive had hit and miss experience with 10mm. I personally would go with the tc125. No struggles and ease of cutting

Yes but lasts for days. I charged a month ago and just yesterday left it charging overnight. Really not a problem

Glad you enjoyed it!

It is called edutainment. It is the most attention-grabbing, thus effective way to convey a message and to retain the attention of an audience. A big plus in a world where our attention span is shrinking by the day !

@@Mukunda16108 if i read your comment correctly - thank tou

Thank you

Thanks for always watching!

Ive actually found out a few updates after posting this video from Alpha. Will post by the weekend the corrections

I would think amazon can get you a basic charger for that style of battery

​@@porcelainpanelpro i have to tip toe and have no clue why my comments gets deleted. The charger is charging the batteries, but it creates a short every time i plug it in... Cant get replacement because it was open box item from ebay

@@porcelainpanelpro If I can find seller that sells the charger I might get few batteries too, the tool has impressive performance and I can see my self using it a lot on 24x48 tiles on the wall

@@bazemk5111979 on my tests it broke quickly and i had no support if i was outside 30 days. Russo and Gundlach will support you with the ithers

@@porcelainpanelpro I think next time I will go with brand that offers spares, not the Montolit though they want $500 and its virtually the same tool that came from the same manufacturer with stronger batteries. Will see how long mine lasts, I intend to use it on walls from time to time for the large tiles. I wish I had it 2 months a go when I was installing the 24x48 on a 12 foot ceiling master bath

Really they are all seemingly being built in a similar way. The key difference is battery power. If Makita made one, they would probably go to the same factory and utilize businesses of scale. ie almost all microwaves are built by the same business but get a different brand label stuck on it.

I never thought that way.@@porcelainpanelpro

@@jpbiscaro8694 its why you subscribe to my channel. So I can stay up all night thinking about this mundane engineering details for you while I scrape the thinset off my jeans...

Well thank you sir.@@porcelainpanelpro

Thanks for always watching lloyd!

Glad to be in your company with the same opinion!

First off, what table were you using? And what brand of slab material & thickness? There is a very large learning curve no matter what tool you buy. Plus if the slab is compromised from shipping or your table isnt perfectly flat, you will also fail. I encourage you to keep practicing. You’d be surprised how important the slab quality and thickness affects the cutter

@@porcelainpanelpro 1/4 thick no mesh at bottom , I bought the $600 Rubi table to go with it but the blade doesn’t score deep enough even with multiple passes so I quickly realized a Circular wet saw Is the way to go even it if takes an extra 5 minutes , We broke 2 slabs “practicing” (You Live and You Learn)

Damn.i bought all of their products mentioned here. The first rail system, the second one with the beefy adjustable crackers…and the TS circular saw which I love. I was gonna attempt to use the scoring system for the first time tomorrow…and now you have me nervous. Screw that. I’m sticking to the TS tomorrow. I’m not up for buying these folks any new tile! Hell, I even have the big boy Rubi DC 250 at the job for my L cuts. Going with the 24”x48”…so I gotta get it right. Thanks for the heads up!!!💯💯💯💯

Thanks for the comment and view. A key detail is always double checking dimensions pre/post measure. You may get better at knowing when the laser stretches or gets absorbed. With the old software I could tell pretty quick if i was off. With Raptor a few clicks will alert you issues. But as always, double check. The wall in the video had old dirty paint that gave good reflection for measurements

Good question. I have seen just one machine worth the investment in my opinion for a clean miter. It was slower but had an awesome end product. Granted, you better have deep pockets. Flowjet is a steep jump in investment capital. If you are just starting this is a good option. But as always, results may vary.

@@porcelainpanelpro Thank you sir! Quick question. Do you still use klingspor pads? If so then which ones are they?

Yessir I do. P33 I believe is the type. @@joseoviedo1644

Ah i still have one

More to come

Thanks 👍
