    I use the rubi cpc2, and thats a cracking blade. I used to use the marcrist, but as grumpy say's they do tend to wander, on the rubi bridge saw's.

    If I'm cutting a right angle from a tile I'll cut into the corner, then snap..

    Did have some chipping of the porcelain at first, don't notice it now but it does cut really well,

    Not necessarily the bearing runners.
    If it is a 10 inch blade then it is due to the blade edge getting worn round.
    I have this problem crop up regular.
    When a blade is new it cuts straight as can be with no drift, but after it wears round it will track over 1/16 to 1/8.
    I have taken to having a little plastic wisk brush I have cut into short lengths which I clear chips off of the table with and I use it to keep the blade straight as I run it through a tile and that works well.
    I just push the plastic against the blade to keep it running true.
    Don't like to but also don't like replacing blades too often.

    That dna blade sounds like a good one from what I have read on it.
    Alpha makes some good blades as well.

    Sorry for digging up an old thread. I have a Raimondi T3 Razor. Best blade I have ever used for porcelain. It is a j slot blade, very thin but the core is thicker. Prevents wandering. Works best if you dress it regularly with their blue dressing stone.
    But maybe you guys are a few years ahead of us in blade technology.
