What make 115 grinder blade do you use and recommend? ,i need a new one and fancy a change, so what's best BOY'S iyo

Marcrist for me, tried Norton and a few others but Marcrist works for me

Marcrist for me too big boy...

I don't use my grinder much, but I think I might be trying the Marcrist. It seems very popular

are you using it to cut or grind ? we use Exakt saws for cutting but for grinding i use a Fein supercut which has different sized heads and also diamond blades for cutting etc.

plus wood blades for taking off bottom of doors and architraves. bit pricey for the supercut but you get your money back our job (restoration would be near impossible without them) be back to tiny chisels etc . look up Fein or Exakt on web.

Marcrist for me too

bosch one for me, nice fine cut and lasts for ages

Marcrist from TradeTiler for me Dave. lasts for ages and eats porcelain

Yeah the marchrist eats porcelain etc,then for some reason it wears down and cracks!!!
not nice when it jumps out and tries to take a finger off
I'm currently on my 3rd or 4th i think and its wearing down quick too.
I'm sure we're all using same porcelain etc,lol.
I'v yet to find the best.

Ive had mine for 2 years and no problems and still plenty life left, how much do you use it ??

I have the Norton one... use it a lot with stone work, shaping etc...

in the past year i have had duro, spectrum, sankyo, bosch, not tried the marcrist 115 yet the duro, spectrum and sankyo all are top class diamond blades

norton 115 porcelain 1mm thick from screwfix is very good blade for the money

Marcrist are really not best suited for porcelain long term, Rubi make a 115mm porcelain blade for a grinder that is brilliant.
Posted on this subject before.
Diamond blades are manufactured to suit differing hardness of materials you will be cutting.
There is no such thing as a general ( suits all ) diamond blade.
If you wish to save money in the long run, then purchase a diamond blade for hard materials and one for soft.
However,when the blade you are using for hard tiles starts to become ineffective,then you will usually find that it will quite adequately cut ceramics for some time.

Edited thread title to be something thread-specific, and moved to the correct forum!

Now there's something I have never been told before - ok I am fairly new to tiling, but its amazing how much there still is to learn out there!

And having read the Wikipedia article - there is some useful H&S info re diamond cutters on there too.
