    Using a CPC for the first time today on a vitrified porcelain. Cut very easy through it - nice and straight - not polished so can't comment on the chipping.

    Hi gary nash here,i am Rubi bias but you cant beat a cpc2 blade for fine cuts and longevity, A very good blade and when the water supply is kept good you wont get any chips on polished porc.
