Removing a few mm from a bidet
Discussion
So one of the things on the list is to replace the "trap" (a piece of split gunked up flexi hose) on the bidet
Height is very limited and the only trap that will fit is a little too large in circumference (a few mm)
I have started removing material from the base of the bidet with a Dremel but it's (very) slow and the Ali oxide bits I have tend to fail. I did buy some diamond bits but these are not as good as the former
So any suggestions on a suitable bit or alternative method ?

Pics would help but I'd be shocked to find that grinding the bidet is the best option.
However I have found this to be superb for similar jobs

However I'd rather use a solid disc version on ceramic for fear of shattering it.

Thanks for that, when I was buying I used the filter for 32mm and that one did not display Also it says it's 300mm high!

Anyhow, it looks like you've got there but it looks tight to the floor. You could always ask at the counter to measure the one I posted & measure it to see if it's smaller.

Mmm it does but it can't be can it? From the picture the whole thing isn't eight times as tall as the 40mm diameter pipe connector.

I agree with you I don't think it can be that highAnyhow, it looks like you've got there but it looks tight to the floor. You could always ask at the counter to measure the one I posted & measure it to see if it's smaller.
Still need to remove more material because the trap is not vertical and won't form a seal ATM
Ordered one because it's extended range and they don't have it in store

A more shallow trap is easily available,unless I do not understand the problem
Yes I agree but there is the distance to the (existing) solvent weld pipework which disappears under the floorboards to considerWith the trap I have pictured it only needs a couple of inches of 32mm pipe to coneect it
HTH
Okay found a 32mm version of the shaloow bath P trap

Unfortunately it's way too long
