    Default Montolit Pro-Gres

    It's time for a new blade for the grinder, not a great lover of the tool but for cutting down mosaic comes in handy.

    Looking at the Montolit blade from Tradetiler and wondered what you thought, good, bad or indifferent would help in my choice.

    Cheers.

    Nice wheel, I have the 80mm version, nice and thin and super smooth cut, I imagine the 115mm wheel s the same.

    I have to say that I find the small montolit ideal for curves too. I have used it a few times in place of my 115mm blade as I couldnt be bothered to change it, and it was just fine on large format porc & trav. I prefer using it to make the envelope cuts on a wet room former as well, as it is much more controllable as the centripetal force is less

    I got a porcelain cutting 115mm blade from stonetools last week,
    We got using it today on 60x60 polished porcelain and its cutting superbly.
    It is cutting every bit as good as a wetsaw.
    I'm going to see how long it lasts now.

    Hi Geoff, ring stonetools.
    Product code: 9078
    Porcelain tectron blade 115mm.
    They had none of these last week but asked if I'd take this other one to try and let them know, first impressions are excellent.
    Tell them you want the blade they sent to hillhead tiling services last week.
    Great price too, around 25.
