43 years tiling here. Thanks for the tip on replacing the orange clips with the blue ones. My top tip is to get an X-Lock grinder and an X-Lock 14mm drill bit adapter for drilling holes in porcelain. With that, it's so easy to switch from grinding to drilling just by pulling the X-Lock release lever and snapping on the drill bit adapter. You'll need a couple of 6 inch adjustable spanners to change out the drill bits from the adapter because X-Lock grinders don't have spindle locks, but you won't need to carry a drill. Using a grinder to drill is much easier, they have more power than the average drill, and you can drill without the need of a guide because the bit won't wander as you start drilling. I use the same setup to drill soft ceramic as well. Let me know if my description makes sense, and if it doesn't, I'll make a video.
Great video Jack, i like the in depth videos of a day in the life of a tiler, setting out, how to cut awkward shapes, fitting tile trims, around windows, etc. You can fast forward bits of just laying tiles and just detail bits that would be useful to a DIYer, then the vids wont run too long, keep em coming mate, great work.
Really enjoyed the video mate. I’m currently training to become a tiler/plasterer so any information on how you prepare your surfaces for tiling, screeding etc is really helpful
Hey Tyler, really glad to hear that. We are going to be recording a whole bathroom renovation starting from Monday next week so keep your eyes peeled :D. Feel free to check us out on IG too :)
Hi mate, just found your chanel, sorry dont know your name?, great video, i would have liked you to expand a bit on your other tiling tools which you have found best for your career so far, as in what is the best diamond blade for cutting porcelain tiles for your dewalt or makita?, I.E,budget and high end? Tile nippers, and must have tools. Im a handyman so its nice to learn off the pros, i hav'nt gone through your vids yet but it would be nice to see you doing some tiling, walls floors, awkward cuts, around windows, tile trims, around pipes etc. Got to take a look at those buihi clips, keep the vids coming, glad i found your chanel, kevin
Hey Kevin! Thank you for this lovely comment. Leave it with me. My plan is to put a lot more effort in with RU-vid now. I will make this one of my first videos. Thank you so much, Jack
When I started In 2009 clips weren’t even out and we had to do large format 6x6 and 6x3 rectified edge by feel. Now days you have apprentices who don’t have the ability to do a single bathroom without a laser level and clips and 1000 different tools.
That’s how I done my 4 year apprenticeship too. We also screed the wet areas and most tiling goes to ceiling height and they’re all wet areas with no shower trays here.
Awesome! Sometimes this can be because the disk is worn down, sometimes it’s the type of tile. Get yourself some hand tile polishing pads they work a treat 👍🏻
Very well put together vid fella, just a question i have , i have very rarely seen anyone in UK at least where i live to do corners at 45degree cuts (i mean cutting tiles at 45 in the corners and rather always use dirty aluminium corner piece or some sort of finish trim , in eastern Europe it would be absolutely not acceptable to do it just wondering
Hey buddy !! Thanks for the comment I appreciate it! I’m actually just preparing my next video to be uploaded which is the start of a bathroom renovation series so stay tuned for that :) - as for the mitring tiles that your asking about that is starting to become big over here too 👍🏻. Hopefully see you in future comments. Thank you - Jack the tiler 🫶🏻
Do you use a wet cutter mate. Ive got a DeWalt thats that much of a chore ato aet up it barely ever gets used. We tend to hand grind 90% of our work. What grinding disks are you using. Your right about the levelers though ( game changer) the fact you can use the 1 handed. On a large format floor. wow
Hey David !! I acrually have a iQ 228 cyclone dry cutter which I use for my table cutter. Apart from that I just use a grinder, I don’t use any specific blade depends where I’m going to get them. Thanks for the comment mate!
Great Vid buddy, love the level of detail, tooth brush trick is genius and something that I am defiantly going to start using. I've been tiling for years and never thought to use a tooth brush to help rack out the joints. Looking forward to your next vid
@@jackthetileruk brilliant. So you’d do that on emulsion instead of scoring? I’ve got a painted wall that needs tiling and I don’t know what to do without taking the paint off
Hey mate, thanks for the comment. It was only a small bathroom, and was more interested in getting the correct amount of grout into the joints rather than rushing. Thank you for the advice though :)
