Hi Everyone,

Just received my new grouting system, and power undercut jamb saw. Got a call from Tileworks in Lowell Michigan tuesday, having a sale so I went for it. Gee, got my order in 1 1/2 days.

Anyway, does anyone have any experience? Sure sounds good. The saw is by Roberts, haven't even looked at it yet.

Hey JAZ

I think that is the grouting system that John Bridge got recently. I think Ron has one, as well.

Rob

Yeah..I want to buy one of those things from Ron's Dad....the jam saw..I see them for sale at HD...sure would come in handy, when cutting hardwood! :p

Hi Rob, Bri,

I'll find out how the grouting system works soon. I'll be installing one of those tiles that have a bunch of rocks embossed on it. It's going to be an SOB. Tried to talk lady out of it, no luck. May have to use saw for all/most cuts too.

Completed 3 porcelain floors in a row. Two had slate like texture. One of the two was also a rectified, and no cushion edge. What a pain to grout and clean up. I even pre-sealed one, still had to wash with sulfamic and pick out grout with utility knife for hours. Indoor pool room, man in wheelchair so I did final and seal. I'm starting to dislike porcelain.

Bri, you must have better HD's up there. I've look at HD here and couldn't find an undercut. (Couldn't find an employee either) Yesterday I wanted an adjustable molding support/stand they didn't have that either.

In case anyone is interested in these or other tile tools give Tileworks a try. 877-787-6091 ask for salesman Tom. Or www.tiletools4less.com

Hey Jaz
That's a great site! Lot's of cool stuff...I saw a cabinet guys just the other day with one of those 3-4-5 folding squares...now I see one on this site! I think I'll get one. Thanks!

Hi Bri,

They seem to be nice people. Got their catalog months ago. As I said some items now on sale. Prices are lower than catalog and on site, plus no s&h and no sales tax for those outside of Michigan.

Give them a call on their toll-free, (877-787-6091) mention my name. I just sent them an E-mail thanking for good service and also mentioned Harry's site.

Jaz .... I'm looking forward to your feedback on the grouting system. I've been thinking seriously about getting one because I've heard it cuts down the time and does a hell of a job. Plus, my brother Steve who does all the grouting is getting real bitchy lately.

... hehe! ...poor Steve! :p

Harry, All,

You lucky son of gun! The only good thing about grouting day sometimes is that's when I get the final payment.

As I recall..when first introduced grouting system was several hundred $ US. Now under 100. I was surprised at the size of the wiping sponge thingy, it measures, 5x13.75". Comes with video which I haven't looked at yet. I'll let everyone know. This first job may not be fair comparison because of all the textured frigin stones. I already warned the lady that she may have a little more final clean up than normal.

Jaz

I grouted that job last Friday. It was much easier than I expected, because of the stone texture in addition to the normal grout lines. Not a good job to compare with sponging though. I could tell it's going to not only save time and energy, but the Barwalt does NOT pull grout out of the joints. Nice joints, even with very dense tiles.
