Tiles Chipping With A New Blade - TilersForums.com

[AD Ceramics]

I've heard ck850's are very good but I really didn't get along with mine, chipped loads. If I was trying to do a particularly thin L cut (20x10 around a socket) then I had no chance at all, vibration just broke the tile. Maybe I had a bad one.

Try ATS diamond blades. A quarter of the price and better. I have been buying ck850's for years but no more they've gone crap, try the turbo blade from ATS.
turn the grinder on and off quick and check the blade as I slows down it may have a kink in it as mine did the other week, instead of a 2mm cut thickness it was doing about 4mm

I just recently got an ats turbo pal, again not the best blade I've used but like you say, a fraction of the price and a lot better than the 850, pro gres for me next tho

Yeah I think the blade is not the best,it as soon as it touches the tiles the paint just rips off hence chipping,doesn't help with the tiles are black and grey

Use a continuous rim blade for tiles like this, the turbo design by it's very nature will cause chipping on some delicate or lower quality products.

Continuous rim blades are cleaner/smoother in action but don't cut as fast.

Yep def with Alan ^^^ turbo blades are too aggressive with ceramics by far!
Need continuous rim like a J slot!
Other suggestions will work too mind.

If you want a marcrist blade fir ceramics use the 650.
The 850 is fir porcelain and harder materials.

Just bought Rubi csv 115 should do the trick

Just buy a cheap blade for ceramics ,and keep the good ones for porcelain or stone ,

Thanks guys continuous blade did the trick but when blade touches tiles the blade sparks if that makes sense,why is this
