45° Mitre Attachment DISTAR Glider for Angle Grinders 115/125 mm, Art. 40962 – Vibration-Free for Clean Porcelain Stoneware Edges
The 45° Mitre Attachment DISTAR Glider Art. No. 40962 turns a standard angle grinder into a guided tool for mitre cuts on porcelain stoneware. The machine glides over the tile on a stable base plate, keeping the angle of attack constant over the entire length of the cut. The attachment mounts directly onto the gearbox, forming a rigid unit with the angle grinder – preventing vibrations during operation.
Your Advantages at a Glance
- Universal Mounting System: fits 115–125 mm angle grinders from all manufacturers – keep using your existing machines
- Vibration-Free: direct mounting on the gearbox instead of support via auxiliary handles
- Cutting Angle 50–52°: according to the manufacturer, reduces the need for touch-up work
- Adjustable Dust Extraction: adapts to the material thickness, with vacuum adapter for clean working
- Tool-Free Adjustment: reconfigured in seconds, no searching for Allen keys
- For Large Formats: suitable for tile lengths from 600 to 3600 mm
- Material Thickness up to 14 mm: covers all common porcelain stoneware thicknesses
- Table Mounting Possible: upside-down mode for small formats
- Scratch Protection: special sliding material on the underside protects the tile surface
- White Housing: better visibility during dusty work
45° Cutting Guide for Job Site Use
Large-format tiles can rarely be transported to a stationary saw – every repositioning costs time and increases the risk of breakage. With the 45° attachment, the tile is processed right where it lies: on the cutting table, the installation trestle, or directly at the installation site. Typical applications include mitres on outer corners, plinths, shower niches, and trim elements. The attachment is ideally complemented by a suitable diamond cutting disc for 45° cuts and a speed-adjustable 125 mm variable speed angle grinder.
Scope of Delivery for Mitre Attachment Art. 40962
Supplied as a ready-to-use set consisting of housing with dust extraction, vacuum adapter, protective hood, adapter set, and washer. Angle grinder and diamond cutting disc are not included and must be ordered separately.
Frequently Asked Questions about the 45° Mitre Attachment (Art. 40962)
Does the 45° mitre attachment fit any angle grinder?
The mounting system is universally designed to fit angle grinders with 115 mm and 125 mm disc diameters – regardless of the manufacturer. Installation is done directly on the machine's gearbox; an adapter set with a washer is included. Angle grinders with different disc diameters are not supported.
Which tile formats can be processed with the 45° mitre attachment?
The attachment is designed for tile lengths from 600 mm to 3600 mm, tailored for large-format porcelain stoneware. The maximum material thickness is 14 mm. For small formats, the device can be mounted upside down on a table – in this mode, the attachment remains stationary while the workpiece is guided.
How accurate is the 45° cut, and is touch-up work required?
According to the manufacturer, the actual cutting angle is between 50 and 52°. This intentionally slightly exaggerated angle reduces the need for touch-up work. Because the attachment mounts directly on the gearbox, it operates vibration-free – keeping the angle constant over the entire cutting length.
Can the 45° mitre attachment be connected to a vacuum cleaner?
Yes. The housing features an adjustable dust extraction shroud that adapts to the respective material thickness. A vacuum adapter is included in the scope of delivery, as well as a protective hood. The correct connection diameter can be obtained from the manufacturer and will be added here.
Are the angle grinder and cutting disc included in the scope of delivery?
No. Included are the housing with dust extraction, vacuum adapter, protective hood, adapter set, and washer. The angle grinder and diamond cutting disc must be ordered separately. We recommend a variable speed 125 mm angle grinder and a diamond cutting disc for 45° mitre cuts in porcelain stoneware.
Does the attachment scratch the tile surface?
A special sliding material is installed on the underside, ensuring smooth gliding while protecting the surface from scratches. Additionally, the housing is white – making the cutting line much easier to see during dusty work compared to dark housings.
