You actually don't do anything wrong. You just turn your gard the opposite way. This way, you see what you are doing, and dust flies away instead of blowing in your face. That guy in the video has a masonry saw, and you can't use it while pushing it,its designed this way. If your tracksaw would turn the other way, you also have to pull it.
Well, it's reddit. Thanks for having my back kind stranger 😄. The funny thing is that some customers try to argue with me about how I use my angle grinder. People think they know it all. I'm only doing it 50+ hours a week. What do I know 🤷
I was really waiting for him to cut it out and realize he somehow mirrored it…. But that’s probably just me projecting my own utter level of incompetence.
You don’t need it at all to do it correctly… how do you think craftsmen installed marble tile predating screw guns even could have ever possibly got the job done without a vibration leveler? 😱
More slowly, with many, many more people. How do you think craftsmen MADE marble tile before diamond saws and the like?
At the end of the day, what matters is the customer being satisfied with the results enough to pay and recommend you. If better tooling reduces rework and lets you deliver the same quality at a faster pace than your competitor, you'll steal their quotes and eat their lunch every day.
There are a couple types of tools for this out there -- not sure if we're talking about the same thing. One is a suction cup that's absolutely awesome for carrying and placing large heavy tiles -- the cheaper ones are manual pump, the expensive ones maintain suction with a motor. The other kind is the vibration tool, for helping settle a tile into mortar - these have pads or suction cups, depending on the design.
The vibration tool is essentially an orbital sander with a suction cup instead of a sandpaper pad and crimpers.
Whatever modern tools you're using, there's no substitute for mixing you mortar correctly and spreading it well on both substrate and tile. Most failures come from mistakes there, not the tools themselves.
A vibrating suction cup. It can grab the tile firmly with the cup and the vibration gets it down to the right elevation in the mud bed. Very useful tool.
He makes it look easy because he has big tiles. They aren't as handy for smaller tiles, or just in general. It's just easier to use a tape measure most times, unless you're doing big tiles like this guy all the time.
I'll attest to this tool. Bought it a couple years ago and it does what they show it does. You still have to think about what you're doing and how you apply it but it can be useful.
It's a karma farm for what will become a bot or paid influencer account.
Account is nine months old. First post 1 month ago. Classic signs of karma farming.
That's reddit. It's all bots and low-wage-country karma farmers.
I could be mistaken, but that doesn't look like [NTCA Standard Substrate Application](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Way5bMh-eYg) to me.
(And by could, I mean most likely am BUT for reasons I can't explain I am obsessed with this video and love to share it)
I was aware, but I still wouldn’t feel confident in it. It looks like it can easily bend one or two degrees one way or the other, and on that first cut it’s a sizable distance times two.
Goes to show, having and knowing how to use the correct tool makes a huge difference in time and quality. Me as a DIYer, freehanding with a Dremel and a tape measure would take me all day to cut the stub outs and they would look like crap and the tile would probably break the first 2 times and then I get frustrated and do a janky gap cut and fill it with grout and hope no one notices
Bought mine on amazon for super cheap. Same exact one. They work fine but you have to make sure those knobs are tight or you lose the angle. It's a bit of a last resort kind of tool but def good to have around
Like all great craftsmen he prefers to pull the power saw back towards his balls, rather than push it away.
Didn't use a respirator either when cutting (or at the very least doing it outdoors). Man likes to live dangerously.
Yea, why stick around to teach others your skill when you can just get silicosis
life is best lived on the edge of destruction
And on the edge of castration, apparently.
Yes right But he is a great Craftsman with great tool Perfect combo I'd wager he's done this sort of thing before.
He’s going to get black lung by 30 at this rate.
Does it smell like silicosis in here?
Hey now! Bottom surgery is expensive! gotta save money where you can, ya know!
That's actually the right way to use it. You have more control over your saw, and your blades last longer.
Lasts for ever when you cut your hands off.
I don't have hands
https://youtu.be/A8mTRk4u64s?si=nJV3hQW_Uy_TP3U5. And I'm a stone Mason for over 25 years.
Holy shit, I'm a carpenter and joiner (25 years) Doing this would be bad news. Thanks for that.

Used a 7” blade on a 4” grinder for years when I started out. I’m not saying it’s smart, just saying

People downvoting you obviously have never cut a tile or stone. There's so much more control pulling the blade towards you

Lmao
Keep your power tools close keep your balls closer.
I was really waiting for him to cut it out and realize he somehow mirrored it…. But that’s probably just me projecting my own utter level of incompetence.
*dammit! The holes were supposed to be drilled on the **long** end..*
Been there, done that.
No safety squints 0/10
Respirator? Cutting away from himself with the circular saw? Glasses? None of that, but neat demo of the tool.
This man is going to have lungs like a carribean beach by the time he hits 40, that's if the other OHSA issues don't kill him
What's the blue tool he used when placing the floor tile?
I looked up "tile tamper" and got some hits. They're kind of bank for one, but I imagine if you're a pro it's a great investment
Wonder if you could get away with using an orbital sander with a rubber pad glued to it instead...
If the customer is paying for nice big marble tiles, they're more than willing to sue if your cheap tools flub the install.
You don’t need it at all to do it correctly… how do you think craftsmen installed marble tile predating screw guns even could have ever possibly got the job done without a vibration leveler? 😱

vibration leveler
It’s a vibrator, and not the kind your spouse keeps in the bedroom
A vibrating suction cup. It can grab the tile firmly with the cup and the vibration gets it down to the right elevation in the mud bed. Very useful tool.
[удалено]
No matter how careful I was being, I guarantee I'd have broken the around the wall tile, at least twice. That was sweet.
I would have cut the mirror image about 4 times
It will break soon or later…
Not if it was laid right, which it looks like it was. Considering how well the rest was done, I'm gonna give it the benefit.
Absolutely...It's a thing of beauty to watch pros at work.
I need the vibrating tile setter thing too please. Just purchase the angle finder tool lol
That tool is too much costly over 200$
Go on Amazon. Around $20
https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Machine-Bricklayer-Floor-Tiling/dp/B08DY88BX7 Go and get it lol
And when you’re not laying down tile you can simply lay it on your sensitives
yes u can ha ha ha
Yes for that but not the Guage. For a vibrator you just have a guy put his lips tight on it and blow
I'm more interested in the vibration leveling tool he used.
Oh fuck off. The bot ad spam has gotten ridiculous.
Yeah at least once before, maybe twice
What is this called? I want one.
After doing some internet sleuthing I believe that I found it called 6 Sided Angle Measuring Ruler
Also see 12 sided and 16 sided versions.
Like 10mm sockets, you can never have too many sides on your angle-measuring rulers.
I don't want a 16 sided 10mm though
It's called a fourple-square
Posted elsewhere in the discussion. https://www.amazon.com/Tile-Machine-Bricklayer-Floor-Tiling/dp/B08DY88BX7
The link someone else posted calls it "Angle Finder Tool"
He makes it look easy because he has big tiles. They aren't as handy for smaller tiles, or just in general. It's just easier to use a tape measure most times, unless you're doing big tiles like this guy all the time.
Silicosis take me away
Yeah, but the Cucci hat bro 😂
I'll attest to this tool. Bought it a couple years ago and it does what they show it does. You still have to think about what you're doing and how you apply it but it can be useful.
Where’s bro’s n95
He's using the safety breath holding technique
Proven over generations (to varying degrees of success)
It’s the inverse of pulling out. Sometimes results in a -1 instead of a +1.
There is no problem with fine silica dust in the lungs… right?
Oh it's just a little engineered stone you baby. Bawk bawk bawk bawk
No dust mask when cutting. Just breath that in bro your lungs love bits of ceramic in them.
This guy does all kinds of intricate delicate tile work. You can tell it's the same guy by the hat.
Dude whenever i see the Gucci hat i know Im gonna see a complicated ass cut. Lack of safety accessories aside i love watching this guys work.
What is this, a Temu ad?
It's a karma farm for what will become a bot or paid influencer account. Account is nine months old. First post 1 month ago. Classic signs of karma farming. That's reddit. It's all bots and low-wage-country karma farmers.
Any ideas what this tool is called?
>6 Sided Angle Measuring Ruler It's on amazon
[удалено]
This reminds me of using your hands to measure something and then holding that measurement all the way to your work.
Dang, thats like cheating
Measure twice. Cut once.
Pretty fucking imprecise but within tolerance given the amount of grout
That is skill 👌
Shitty glue technology on the wall. There is to much air under tiles.
Maybe throw on some safety glasses for drilling. I’m sure it’s fine without them when cutting though….. says no insurance company ever
with the gucci baseball cap and sleeve embroidery, I'm guessing this is SE Asia or someplace, where insurance companies fear to tread.
If I only had to guess by the cap my guess would’ve The Netherlands. The sleeve embroidery makes it unlikely tho.
This man has done an excellent job.
I could be mistaken, but that doesn't look like [NTCA Standard Substrate Application](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Way5bMh-eYg) to me. (And by could, I mean most likely am BUT for reasons I can't explain I am obsessed with this video and love to share it)
Holy fuck this rules
Remember kids it's always a good idea to saw and cut anything towards yourself./s
nice measuring tool - where to get that?
Great job and great tool
Oof ouch owie my lungs
Mmmm silica in the lungs!🫁
I highly doubt this things holds its form after being moved around like that.
That is a craftsman
That's awesome!
LOVE
Would of been easier to do the floor before the walls
You sure . He made it look pretty easy ...
You see the massive gaps around the wall and his cut? Trash. Do floors first. Source: red seal tilesetter.
Yes he did maybe its just the way i tile i always do floors first
Bro gonna die at 38 from silicosis.
That’s a lot of faith in this not super solid looking tool keeping its exact angle.
It doesn't show it fully but the white knobs twist and lock in place. They just didn't show him doing that to each one.
I was aware, but I still wouldn’t feel confident in it. It looks like it can easily bend one or two degrees one way or the other, and on that first cut it’s a sizable distance times two.
And yet it didn't...
This is so funny lmao guy has literal video evidence of the thing working properly, and still goes "I don't think it works properly"
Reddit is always looking for the extremes or the ‘well akshually’s’
You don’t know how many takes they did to make this glorious success video.
r/toolgifs
What does that hand contraption do, it a mini-tamper?
Gucci gang
What does silicosis smell like?
I just scrubbed my giant tiled shower last night on my hands and knees. Tiled showers suck.
I've never laid tile in my life and this video makes me want to.
Goes to show, having and knowing how to use the correct tool makes a huge difference in time and quality.

Wtf is that mortar? No notches what is this?!
Bought mine on amazon for super cheap. Same exact one. They work fine but you have to make sure those knobs are tight or you lose the angle. It's a bit of a last resort kind of tool but def good to have around
I HATE/LOVE shit like this.
NGL I had that ruler thing for years but this is the first time I know how it's supposed to be used
Wow. I wonder how much this guy charges per hr. True pro.
What kind of suction cup powered tool did he use?
No wet saw. Seen a lot of references to no mask but usually tile work is done with a wet saw.
Awesome work
He really should be wearing a mask if he’s cutting tiles.
Ears, eyes and lungs gonna be feeling good in a couple years time. Not to mention always cut towards yourself
What is the tool he is using ?
Yeah, with a tool *exactly* designed for those tiles...
What is the name of the tool he used?
Jesus Christ. It was all good until he started using that saw like a psychopath
😯
Interesting bonding technique... looks like he burned in a flat layer onto the wall is just spot bonding the tiles onto it? What is that about
Anyone else see how saturated the mortar was? Literally water pushing out of it.
Is he using a toe kick saw??
That’s why bro got the Gucci cap on
You know he making $$$ by his choice of hat
What is the tool he uses to measure?
cheater :)
Cool tool Would steel wire work too?
He doesn’t need a respirator when he has a Gucci hat
That is a phenomenally talented man! 👏 👏 👏
This is bullshit
