I miss not being able to turn the speed down, especially when your trying to get to hard to reach bits under scaffold.

That seems really slow, is it a slow r and s on it? I'm only comparing it to my strata that flys out at a rate I struggle to keep up with

@Plasterers1StopShop i see u agree the ritmo I looks slow. Why do you think that is r@s. under powered can't see is been that as it's 230v and has a lot more power than a 110v just wondering like.

Being 230v doesn't necessarily mean it will be more powerful than 110v mate.

It did appear slow in the video and that certainly isnt a criticism, it could be down to the consistency or R/S.

You'll get a good level of support and the machine will serve you well mate.

I have always said I think 230v machines are slow for renders. 14l/min isn't overly fast. It's amazing what 3-4 l/min can change
 
I've helped Big Ben out a few times and he has a ritmo M it does seem a fiddley process setting up etc with speed this and that etc but am sure once you get used to it your fine. I personally love the G4's not too complicated (can't be if I could operate one) but it's the only machine I've ever used apart from a Bauknecht which I bloody hated that thing broke down for fun

Gotta give it to the blokes who actually invested in a machine and took the gamble not many plasterers have a spare 5k for a gamble that's why I always hope it pays off for them

There not really a gamble are they,
Can't even buy a decent second hand transit for that money.worse case senerio is sell it on at a small loss.

Think you sound like me..i struggle to fill the oil in my van and work out how the tyre pump things work at a garage when blowing up my tyres never mind all this machine operations stuff,lol

The way I look at it is if you have the machine 5 years it's only £20 a week. Less than 2m2 a week to pay for the machine. What am going to do is on my first 2 jobs with the machine am not going to give my slef a wage. My aim is to get the money back i spent on the machine as soon as I can. Plus I have already made 2 new contacts for work because I have a machine.

Put like that you'd be mad not to get one. You might even start enjoying plastering again!
