    Default Cutting porcelain

    Hi guys, would welcome some feed back on which brand of blades are preferred when cutting porcelain. I use marcrist blades for my angle grinder and can’t fault the lifespan of them. But when it comes to blades for my rubi 250 wet saw they don’t last anywhere near as long as the smaller blades, either with water or without.

    Many thanks

    As suggested elsewhere here, if you use the saw regularly, it's worth splashing out on a Montolit DNA blade - but use wet, NEVER dry. That's why you got the wet saw. Using a diamond blade dry will give you both poor quality cuts as well as a short blade life. Also, don't force the blade - pull it through with just one finger, that might help you get the speed right.

    At the moment we don't do the blades. (Although we are looking at that market)

    We only do the hole saws, cores and drill bits!

    Welcome to the forum Opperrugy.

    This is the section that covers diamond drilling holes into tiles with drill bits, crowns and holesaws.

    Theres no right or wrong section for you to post. But as you can see from your profile you have one post and now you have one thanks.. From 365Drills!

    Look forward to seeing more of your posts in future. As well as this specific topic section there is also a main forum.
