I'm from Poland and we love polish sausage and polish tile!

[@susanmyrick2913]

What a great teacher you are!

[@woody1380]

Checks grinder, has an on/off... Guess I'm going full speed then 😂

[@irenemortensen]

So cool!

[@seatacg]

Another great video with helpful information.

[@higgasonhomes7541]

Awesome!

[@weekendwarrior3420]

What a great video! Short, no-BS and comprehensive. One thing I'd like to know - which saw and blade you like to use to cut it initially.

[@holdensaul8373]

@Callan Kyree I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@holdensaul8373]

@Callan Kyree it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you saved my ass !

[@callankyree9775]

@Holden Saul glad I could help :)

What brand or where can you purchase those grinding pads?

[@hugohernandez620]

QUESTION. Can I still do this even after tule is installed to killed the edges?

[@wonton8983]

Camera stroboscopic effect? Sanding pad appeared to be spinning real slow about 1 rev per sec. Great video, nice clear instructions.

[@steves1460]

Was wondering that one myself as the sound doesn’t match up with the rotation

[@Harry_Ballzonya]

How may rpms is that? It looks like it’s 3 rpms and I can’t tell it is that slow or if it’s the camera shutter speed making it look slow.

[@muddslide8829]

Where can i get those pads for ceramic tile. Thx

[@wolverinegnr]

What polishing pads do you use? Thanks

[@juanjuan-ng9ys]

hi, please i hope you understand what i wanna explain, becouse my english is not so good. i am going to start making terrazzo cement planters, but i don´t know what machine i must use, because i have read that polishing pads are made for 2000 rpm max (they are not supposed to last more than that because they spoil). i already have a variable speed angle grinder but the minimum rpm are 3000, (Dewalt DWE 4118) In another video the guy said that a polisher is used to accomplish that task, ( the rpm speed on the polisher are lower and, apparently, fits better in the specifications of the pads. please if possible let me know what you think about this and i would like to know what machine are you using in this video. Thanks a lot!!!

[@kornelijekovac9793]

Makita SJS variable speed angle grinder. Max speed about 11.000 rpm. Second "gear" is 4.000 RPM.

[@michaelkuzmin]

thanks for the video. what's that dewalt saw that you are using? is that a special saw for tile specifically or just a miter saw with a tile blade?

[@higgasonhomes7541]

For tile only.

[@michaelkuzmin]

@@higgasonhomes7541 what's the model?

[@chellecat247]

Wish my installer did that to my $50/sf waterjet marble mosaic he used in my backsplash. Instead, I have jagged edges along the end of the mosaic section by the gold schluter, and I think it looks like tish. Is there anything that can be done to smooth out jagged edge line next to schluter after its already been grouted?

[@stewartjaquess287]

I know you where asking the video guy but I have experience with this. Unfortunately the risk is too high to use any power tools on your existing tile. If it was me, I would tape up your schlüter with painters tape for protection. Next, carefully remove the grout between the schlüter trim and rough edge. You can us a grout hook, metal file, or oscillator tool. Then use a sanding block typically used for woodworking and sand at the best angle you can using the same grits as shown in the video. I would recommend wetting your tile as you sand using a wet sponge. Remove the tape. Lastly, grout the space between the two. Use that same wet sponge to clean off your tile and schlüter. Good luck

Omg. Unreal. 😳

@@stewartjaquess287 I know this was awhile ago, but great advice 👍🏼

[@sancop]

What if my tile has a rough edge

[@frankcatrini4816]

i can see going thru this if you messed up a lay out and had to trim a field tile but if this is just a cut thats butted into a corner you will never really see it. i just use one grit or a diamond hand paper to clean edge but to use 3 different grits is a bit of overkill.

[@chrischris1733]

From your comment I already know you know everything but use tile trims 😂😂😂

[@frankcatrini4816]

there arent many tile trims these days, its either schluters or some kind of pencil liners. i use to use tile trims back in the day, but they are hard to find and just dont look as good imo because they break pattern. if im doing marble and have to actually polish the ends, i obviously use all my pads to match the sides to the surface, but with tile, i only polish the edge like you, to get the tiny chips out. if i am doing an inlay or something, i will spend the time like you and use a few pads because those cuts are really seen, but if we are talking about edge cuts in corners or cuts up to schluters, im just using a hand diamond pad because my initial cuts are done on the wet saw and personally dont think you need to use a variable speed grinder and all those pads for corner cuts . i guess if im using a snap cutter and the tile doesnt cut to well, i might use an array of pads with my polisher. so you go thru this on every exposed cut no matter where it is?

[@johnrobb9408]

It's called a chamfered edge.

[@krim1988]

can you use a orbital sander?

[@lwh7301]

I doubt it. Angle grinders are cheap. Go to Harbor Freight.

[@satnaamwaheguru2479]

@@lwh7301 I need to be a variable speed and they are not cheap. Polisher disc works max 5000 or less rpm , while grinder runs as 10000+.

[@ronwyman1396]

@L WH plz don't buy ANYTHING from Harbour Freight if it has moving parts. You'll just end up wasting your hard earned money.

[@samson2968]

@@ronwyman1396 not true. I have purchased many power tools from them for a fraction of the name brands prices and had great performance and can replace them many times over for the proce of the others.

[@leeb.7188]

@@samson2968 I totally agree. I wouldn’t buy HF tools if I were a pro who used them every day, but for a DIY person like me who is fixing up an old rental unit, I have tools that I rarely use from HF but are necessary on occasion. Like the $20 recip saw and the $20 grinder that have lasted for years. Just make sure to use high quality blades and disks, and only buy corded tools from HF.

This has nothing ti do with polishing tiles

[@davidwoods607]

Waste of time
